Mitsotakis: No Proposal to Reduce Number of MPs

Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has definitively stated that the ongoing constitutional revision does not include any proposal to reduce the number of members of parliament. This clarification emerged during a discussion where a specific MP voiced concerns about the role of parliamentarians and argued against a reduction in their numbers. The Prime Minister's intervention aimed to address these concerns directly, affirming that the constitution sets the number of MPs between 200 and 300, and no changes are being considered in this regard. This stance reassures those who believe in the importance of a robust parliamentary representation. From our perspective at Ta Nea, maintaining the current number of MPs is crucial for ensuring that all voices and regions are adequately represented in the legislative process. Any reduction could potentially diminish the effectiveness of parliamentary oversight and dilute the democratic mandate. The focus should remain on strengthening the institution of parliament and ensuring its efficient functioning, rather than altering its size without a compelling justification. The Prime Minister's clear statement provides certainty and allows for a focused debate on other critical aspects of the constitutional reform.
