The Minister of Education, Sport and Youth, Mr. Prodromos Prodromou, in today's letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives Ms. Anita Demetriou, clarifies that under no circumstances does the Ministry wishes or intends to interfere with the work of the House of Representatives, nor does it consider that the notification of the opinion of the Attorney General, according to which the specific law proposal has problems of constitutional order, was an interference.
He stresses that it is his duty to inform Parliament, through its President, of the opinion on unconstitutionality and of certain issues raised regarding the implementation of the legislation if it is adopted. At the same time, the Minister notes that the position of the Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth does not change and that not only does he endorse the need for the introduction of sex education, but it is already his policy to introduce it in a methodical and properly prepared manner, as was done last year at an early age. The relevant letter is attached for information purposes.
In addition, it is noted that the Ministry is ready to ensure all necessary conditions for the generalization of teaching in cooperation with the relevant parliamentary committee, but for this purpose there is no need for legislative acts to violate the constitutional foundation of the separation of powers.
