37 Bills Shelved: Dual Role of Attorney General Remains Unaddressed

The Parliament's Legal Committee has decided to proceed only with two bills and a proposal, shelving 37 other bills concerning the dual role of the Attorney General. The bills to be examined relate to unchecked power and the setting of a seven-year term, as well as the proposal by MP Christiana Erotokritou for the control of the Attorney General's decisions by a Committee instead of the Supreme Court. This decision means that the issue of separating the dual role of the Attorney General will be transferred to the new Parliament, despite the intense discussions and criticism the relevant bill had received. This delay raises questions about the government's true intention to resolve the specific issue.
