Marriage equality bill rattle's Greece's political scene

from The Greek Current · host Hellenic Leaders

As Greece’s government looks set to get marriage equality legislation over the finish line, the bill itself has managed to rattle Greece’s political system - particularly within New Democracy, Greece’s ruling party. Given dissent within New Democracy over the bill, the government will need to look across the aisle to pass it. Nikos Efstathiou, an Athens based journalist and author, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss this bill, look at how it's impacting Greece’s political scene, and touch on the broader public debate around the issue of marriage equality - including hate speech on social media platforms. You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Government to bring forward bill on marriage equalitySame-sex marriage spices up Greece’s political sceneTiptoeing into same-sex marriageGreek students protest government plan for private universitiesHellenic Caucus leaders call on US president to commemorate 50th anniversary of Cyprus invasionRead the letter Hellenic Caucus leaders sent to President Biden
