The truth that the Parliament at the moment adopted an modification to the Structure, with out the required majority, creates a unfavourable impression on public opinion. And actually, throughout at the moment's Plenary Session, they have been searching for a deputy on the final minute to finish the quantity wanted to have a majority. The deputies current have been 37, whereas in accordance with the Structure, in an effort to go any modification, at the very least 2/3 of the members have to be current within the room. That’s, out of the 56, 38 needed to be current. And eventually 37 voted!
In truth, after the disturbance that arose with the president of the Chamber, Annita Dimitriou, stating that “we live in unprecedented occasions”, the ground was taken by Mr. Themistocleous, who declared to the members of the Home, that the vote is taken into account legitimate and that it’s one thing that occurred once more previously.

With out 38 deputies, amending the Structure is unattainable.”
