THE HISTORY AND ROLE OF
THE HELLENIC PARLIAMENT
 The Hellenic Parliament is the parliament of Greece,
located in the Old Royal Palace, overlooking Syntagma
(Constitution) Square in Athens.
 The Parliament is the supreme democratic institution that
represents the citizens through an elected body of
Members of Parliament (MPs).
 It has 300 members, elected for a four-year term.
 Initially, the building served as the palace of
Kings Otto and George I. It became the
Parliament a hundred years later after it was
constructed.
 After the selection of prince Otto, it was
decided to build the palace on Boubounistra Hill
since it was an easily-defendable and cool spot.
 A lot of people worked in order to build the
palace. Among them were both Greek German
and Italian architects, members of the army and
artisans.
 The king and queen of Greece, Otto and Amalia,
took up residence there in 1843.
 Following the expulsion of Otto in 1862, the
palace housed the new king, George I (1863). As
the years passed two damaging fires occurred
(1884,1909) which destroyed a lot of parts of the
original palace.
 In 1922 the palace was permanently abandoned
by the royal family while Greece was undergoing
a regime change, from monarchy to republic.
 In 1928 it was decided to erect the Monument of
the Unknown Soldier standing outside the
Parliament.
 On July 1st 1935 the first parliamentary session
took place in the brand new Debating Chamber
in the building.
 ~The Parliament decides~
The Plenum decides by an absolute majority of the MPs who are present (at
least ¼ ).
 ~The Parliament legislates~
Ministers introduce Bills (draft laws), amendments and additions while MPs
introduce Law Proposals, amendments and additions under the conditions
laid down by the Constitution.
 Parliament: debates and votes on Bills and Law Proposals and exercises
other competences such as:
Election of the President of the Hellenic Republic
Constitutional revision
Voting of standing orders
Voting of the state budget
 The role of the Parliament is to resolute on the proclamation of a
referendum and waive the immunity.
