Conservative New Democracy on Friday tweaked its proposal for the granting of full voting rights to diaspora Greeks with an amendment requested by the Communist Party (KKE), bolstering expectations that a broad consensus for the initiative will be achieved in a parliamentary vote on Monday.
The KKE request was that potential voters demonstrate a “true connection to the country.”
Among the conditions stipulated in the proposal are that would-be voters have a Greek tax registration number and have been away for less than 30 years.
The only resistance in the vote on Monday is expected to come from main leftist opposition SYRIZA.
