He said that the objective is to proceed with reforms with the greatest consensus possible. Responding to the question on the draft dodgersâ issue, Spiliopoulos opined that the names should be made public. The prime minister also met with Parliament vice-president Sotiris Hatzigakis and discussed his suggestions aimed at upgrading parliament, as well as the Education reforms issue. Reforms in Education need to move ahead for realistic reasons as a result of globalization, and for social reasons as well, Hatzigakis told reporters after the meeting. Education reforms, he added, will benefit the weaker social strata and social groups such as students, the youth, farmers and the middle class. Referring to the upgrading of parliament, Hatzigakis suggested the establishment of a team that will deal with European issues given the fact that based on the subsidiarity principle in the European Constitution, the Greek parliament will be divided between Greece and Europe.
