President Christodoulides returns five legislative bills to the House of Representatives

President Nikos Christodoulides has sent five legislative acts back to the House of Representatives for reconsideration. These bills concern diverse sectors, including energy, consumer protection, education, and public sector transparency. Specifically, the President addressed an amendment regarding the promotion of renewable energy, which would require the Council of Ministers to define compensation for surplus electricity produced by self-consumers. The administration argues this creates a fiscal burden on the state budget, thereby violating constitutional principles regarding the separation of powers. Additionally, the President noted that the law introduces retroactive elements that could conflict with established legal frameworks. The plenary session is scheduled to review these returns on Thursday. Furthermore, the President is considering separate legislative packages regarding foreclosure processes, insolvency, and guarantor rights, with some expected to be referred to the Supreme Court for constitutional review.
