Keramios: Restrictions on immigrant votes are lifted

Earlier, Niki Geramios, speaking to SKAI, characterized the legislative regulation of immigrant votes as a “highly symbolic” bill.

The Home Minister insisted that the said bill would be discussed till Monday.

“Until 2019, citizens of Greece who lived or lived abroad on the electoral roll, or were abroad on election day, could not vote. This is an issue we have been discussing for more than 40 years, almost 50. In 2019 the ND government came up with a regulation saying what? You If you are a Greek citizen and live abroad or are abroad on election day, you can vote. However, as this law required an increased majority for it to take effect, a minimum of 200 out of 300 representatives, within the framework of creating this majority, some compromises were made. Restrictions were introduced, for example you this year and last You must have paid annual taxes, you must have lived in Greece for 2 of the last 15 years, and now all the restrictions brought in by 2021 are gone. Then you have the right to vote from abroad. We came up with this bill, which was passed by ND and PASOK and the Hellenic settlement. These parties today have more than 200 MPs.

Mrs. As Keramios pointed out, “There was a connection with PASOK, but I remind you that they have voted for the same bill. There is a positive mood because there are some who have already spoken positively about Victory, Freedom Sailing. It is an inter-party issue. It has to do with the respect we show to Hellenism everywhere.”
