Mika Iatridi has been re-elected vice-chair of the Hellenic Parliament’s Standing Committee on Social Affairs. MPs from government and opposition parties backed her return. The committee examines legislation on health, employment, social security, social cohesion and family affairs.
After the vote, Iatridi said: ‘I would like to thank all my colleagues who honoured me with their vote. Having held this position in previous parliamentary terms, I know that behind every bill, every provision and every decision are real needs and people waiting for answers.
‘That is what our responsibility amounts to: listening, giving careful consideration to different views and working to make sure Parliament’s decisions meet society’s needs.
‘It is in that spirit that I will continue as vice-chair of the Social Affairs Committee, with consistency, respect for our institutions and a steady commitment to the things that can improve our fellow citizens’ lives.’
