Parliament’s scientific service says university bill is constitutional

Education Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said on Wednesday that lawmakers had dismissed the five objections submitted by opposition MP questioning the constitutionality of a bill allowing the establishment of private universities.

The minister said the objections were refuted by the parliament’s Scientific Service.

They were submitted by MPs of leftist SYRIZA, the Communist Party (KKE), religious-conservative Greek Solution, the New Left, and nationalist Niki, which together hold 90 seats, while ruling New Democracy, which introduced the bill, holds 158.
