After the request of SYRIZA and Golden Dawn for roll call vote, Greece’s anti-racism bill got the necessary Parliamentary majority. As expected, there was a diversity of opinions within the parties, especially regarding article 2 on genocide, for which there was an open discussion in the past few days on whether its refusal should be criminalized or not. In total, 99 MPs took part in the voting. For article 1, 58 voted yes, 10 no and 31 present. For the disputed article 2, 54 MPs were in favor, 42 against while 3 declared present. Finally, for article 3, 60 voted yes, 10 no and 29 present.
