Dourou's anger over the block in Akrita: ND is being punished by SYRIZA and one of its most active members

AI summary world

Rena Dourou, leader of the SYRIZA parliamentary group, strongly criticized the New Democracy party and the Prime Minister following the failed vote for Elena Akrita to become the fifth president of the Council of Presidents. The vote resulted in 169 members voting present and 119 voting in favor, meaning Akrita was not elected. Dourou stated that this outcome represents another dark page signed by the Prime Minister, arguing that ND is unfairly disadvantaging SYRIZA and one of its active members, Elena Akrita. She further claimed the move negatively impacts the progressive opposition's presence in the Council of Presidents and women's representation after thirty years, criticizing the Prime Minister's view of Parliament as a party and family stronghold.
