Greek Parliament’s 2015 budget is slightly lower compared with the current year, reflecting a series of cutbacks and a revised payroll in accordance with a draft plan approved by the Economics Commission.
The 139.922 million euro draft budget was voted on by all government parties. The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) party voted against the bill, while main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) and extreme-right Golden Dawn (Chrysi Avgi) reserved the right to present their cases during a debate in the assembly. Independent Greeks (ANEL) and other independent deputies offered a white vote.
The Greek Parliament’s regular personnel totals 1,395 staff, with an average basic salary of 1,368 euros, rising to 2,238 euros per month if benefits were added.
