Ieronymos: Requests a roll call vote on the bill for same-sex couples – 2024-02-18 09:19:26

Today, 14/2, the bill for the marriage of same-sex couples was introduced to the Plenary Session of the Parliament for discussion, and three objections of unconstitutionality (Hellenic Solution, Spartans and Niki) and a request for a roll call vote were already filed.

The Archbishop of Athens and all Greece, Mr. Hieronymos in his statement asked for a roll call vote according to orthodoxianewsagency.

“Our country is a democratic country in the midst of becoming global and in global forums. In fact, the Greek people are democratic and taught democracy since ancient times. It would be good, therefore, in the complete free expression of the Democracy that the Greek Parliament is concerned with, the particular vote to be by roll call. In this way, we also ensure democracy and the interests of the Greek People, in the best way,” he said to Church Station 89.5.

The Conference of the Presidents of the Parliament decided to set aside up to two days for the discussion and passing of the bill.

In the previous days, during the elaboration of the draft law in the committees of the Parliament, the rapporteurs of New Democracy, SYRIZA, PASOK, New Left and Plefsis Eleftherias declared “yes” in principle. The KKE, the Hellenic Solution, Niki and the Spartans are against the bill.
