SYRIZA’s request for Parliament to hold an inquiry into the decisions that led to Greece appealing to the eurozone and International Monetary Fund for a bailout is due to be debated on November 30, Parliamentary Speaker Evangelos Meimarakis said on Thursday.
The leftists want a House committee to investigate whether any politicians, including ex-Prime Minister George Papandreou, should face charges in connection to the decisions they took with regard to the Greek economy in 2009 and 2010.
