The Parliament rejected the President's referral on local self-government The Parliament throws the ball back to the President
With 29 votes against, 22 in favor and 3 abstentions, the Plenum of the House of Representatives rejected the President's referral of the reform of local government.
It is recalled that the President's referral did not concern the bill in its entirety but only the part concerning the new municipalities of Akamas and Polis Chrysochous.
From then on, the President of the Republic has the option of either accepting the decision of the Parliament or filing a petition to the Supreme Court.
