In 2013, the EPLO organized a series of four roundtable discussions with the participation of distinguished personalities of the Greek public sector on the subject of the Revision of the Hellenic constitution, a much debated topic among Greek society.
The roundtable discussions took place at the EPLO Headquarters in Athens between February and June 2013 and were attended by a broad audience consisting of politicians, senior judges, ambassadors, academics, lawyers and others.
The Hellenic Constitution of 1975 is a good Constitution. Yet, certain provisions may require revision and the current circumstances are favorable. This, however, will not cure the ailing political system, as the problem does not ultimately lie in the constitution itself, but rather in its flawed implementation.
This comprises the postscript of the event on the topic “Revision of the constitution: for a new state” which took place on Monday 25 february 2013. Mr. Panagiotis Pikrammenos, former Prime Minister of Greece, presided over the event, while Mr. Charalambos Athanassiou, then alternate Minister of interior, Mr. Nikos Konstantopoulos, lawyer and former President of the Synaspismos Party, Mr. Miltiadis Papaioannou, former Minister, and Mr. Giorgos Gerapetritis, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Athens, were the speakers.
