The civil marriage equality bill passed with 175 votes, as progressive opposition parties supported the initiative, so they said there would be no social exclusions. In fact, after the announcement of the result of the vote, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that “the goal has been achieved”.
He did not support 1/3 of the “blue” K.O.
But the truth is that the government has received a big blow from yesterday’s proceedings, as 51 blue-collar MPs did not support the bill, which, as Maximos kept saying, was “the prime minister’s personal bet”. Specifically, 20 blue MPs voted against and 31 abstained, at a time when the polarization has turned red, inside the blue camp.
Total destruction of the government and Mitsotakis from Samara
Many have been moved by the speech of Antonis Samaras, who “deconstructed” in a holistic way not only the bill for same-sex couples, but also all of Mitsotakis’ strategic choices, as he referred to the Greek-Turkish language, the agricultural issue and immigration.
As noted by what you do “they are not related to our faction.” Gentlemen of the Government, you don’t turn to the “Center” like that. It is not “Center” to overthrow the family, it is not “Center” to abolish mother and father”.
He also said that the bill is a fundamental reversal of family law and that its effects go much further. “And for all this, our faction should not have brought it to a vote. I will not vote for it. The marriage of same-sex couples is not a human right.”
“Nails” for the blue tutorials
In fact, the former prime minister severely criticized the “blue tutorials” that took place in the past period, as he said “fermentations were confused with… pressures. And indeed sometimes, with impermissible pressures. Indeed, in view of a vote, supposedly, “in conscience”.
Controversy about “belonging to the West”
Samaras’ response to the invocation of the phrase also caused a sensation “we belong to the West”, by Mitsotakis.
In particular, the prime minister had stated in his statement that “we belong to the West”. He reminded that the founding declaration of the ND calls “to preserve from tradition what is useful”. And he argued that maintaining values does not mean regression.
Mr. Samaras, on the other hand, argued: “belonging to the West does not mean that I ape every trend, every fashion that comes our way” He denounced the pathogens of the West and especially the woke culture.
Empowered Antonis Samaras
After the end of Antonis Samaras’ speech, circles of Maximos awkwardly reported “no comment”. The former prime minister resoundingly took upon himself the differentiation towards Mitsotakis and the result is that 1/3 of the blue parliamentary group does not support the bill.
In fact, the terror of Maximos can also be seen from the fact that, while the former prime minister was speaking, there was an “underground” line to empty the hall of blue MPs.
New balances are formed
The wounds that have formed inside the New Democracy are deep, as there are now strategic disagreements on a number of issues. Mitsotakis, a few days after the landmark resolution by the European Parliament, which blasted the country for the quality of democracy and the rule of law, is crafting his “European” profile. It is not by chance that he posted after the passing of the bill, where he stated that Greece “is committed to European values”.
On the other hand, the right wing of the party is in turmoil, as there is a perception that now in New Democracy there are “two souls in the same body”. The European elections take on a very important character for New Democracy under the burden of internal processes, as many executives from the Samaritan wing believe that the deterioration of the government will be significant.
