PASOK: Government’s Refusal to Bring the Loan Agreement Extension to Parliament is a Violation of the Constitution

PASOK on Monday accused the government of a persistent refusal to bring the extension of the loan agreement to the Greek Parliament. It also called on the government to publish on Monday –since the previous extension that was approved by the Parliament expired on Feb 28, 2015 — the documents that were already signed or will be signed for the extension and explain on what legal basis or jurisdiction it signed or will sign them. PASOK said the government’s refusal to bring the extension to the parliament is a flagrant violation of the Constitution and an insult to the Parliament’s legislative jurisdiction. It also accused the government of sending out an unprecedented message of “fraudulent use and degradation of national and European institutions,” a message “that the government does not have the concession of its deputies to what it has been doing,” that “the deputies of the (parliamentary) majority disagree with the government’s policy and the country’s commitments” and that “we want foreign parliaments to vote for the Greek program, whereas in Greece we are looking for legal pretexts, because the government is afraid of its own majority in parliament.” (source: ana-mpa)
