The debate in Parliament on the bill on equality in civil marriage and procreation for same-sex couples is currently underway.
On the floor of the Parliament at this time the Prime Minister.
Watch live:
the “no’s”
Right from the start they made it clear that they would vote against Miltos Chrysomallis, Evripidis Stylianidis, Anna Karamanli, Charalambos Athanasiou and Marios Salmas, while Fotini Arabatzi also made it clear. Thanos Plevris and Stelios Petsas, who also spoke, are placed in the “abstention”, while other MPs are expected to clarify their position today (a total of 94 speakers were registered for the two days).
But what will happen to those who have not opened their papers? It will be seen in the roll-call vote where all parties will be “counted” (Syriza asked for roll-call but also Niki-Spartiates with a different starting point).
Wide prevailing air
The most optimistic estimates in the “blue” faction are that as the time of the “treasury” approaches, the negative vote and abstention will be compressed – they do not rule out that the “no” votes will eventually be below 20 yes. In any case, they believe that the approval of the bill is moving towards the 110+ axis, while the positive vote of SYRIZA, PASoK, New Left and Plefsis Eleftherias gives the air of a wide prevalence of perhaps more than 180 MPs.
In the direction of “no” apart from Samaras, Chrysomallis, Stylianidis, Athanasiou and Annas Karamanlis, so far Kostas Karagounis, Theodoros Karaoglou, Vassilis Yogiakas, Andreas Katsaniotis, Maximos Charakopoulos, Kostas Giulekas, Thanasis Davakis, Charalambos Athanasiou, Dimitris Kyriazidis, Yannis are moving in the direction of “no” Paschalidis, Fondas Baraliakos, Stefanos Gikas, George Karasmanis, Yiannis Andrianos, Fotini Arabatzi, Theofilos Leontaridis. Makis Voridis, Yannis Bougas, Thanos Pleuris, Notis Mitarakis, Kostas Vlasis, Dimitris Markopoulos, George Stylos, Angelos Syrigos, Kostas Katsafados, Nikos Vlahakos, Yannis Tragakis, Manos Konsolas, Christos Boukoros, Thanasis Kavvadas are moving in the “gray zone” of abstinence. s, Giannis Oikonomou, Dimitris Kouvelas, Lazaros Tsavdaridis, George Georgantas, Giannis Kefalogiannis, Michalis Papadopoulos, Maria Kefala, George Vlachos, Stavros Keletsis, Spyros Koulkoudinas, Vassilis Vassiliadis, Pericles Mantas, Giannis Kallianos, Tasos Dimoshakis, Christos Kellas, Stelios Pe so etc . In PASOK there are at least 12-14 MPs who are seriously concerned (Evangelia Liakoulis, Paraskevaidis, Michaelidis, Chnaris, Panas, Naya Grigorakou, Poulas, Christina Staraka, Konstantinopoulos, Nikolaidis, Eleni Vatsina, Katerina Kazani, Ilhan Ahmet and Burhan Baran) and in SYRIZA it remains to be seen how they will position themselves after the imposition of party discipline on Polakis, Nina Kasimati, Kokkalis and Zambaras, while the two Muslim MPs Ozgiur Ferhat and Zeibek Hossein are expected to differentiate themselves from the New Left.
