Three years after the 2019 revision of the Constitution, when the institution of the popular legislative initiative was introduced for the first time in Greece, i.e. the possibility for citizens to submit legislative proposals to the Parliament, it remains inactive.
Unfortunately, there is no apparent legislative intention from the Greek government as an implementing law is required. This is a disheartening contempt for the Constitution, citizens and democratic institutions.
Homo Digitalis, Vouliwatch and 44 other Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have sent an open letter to the Government asking for the immediate drafting and proposal of this draft law. We also asked whether members of the CSOs would be included in the legislative process.
