SYRIZA-Progressive Alliance said that Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' pledge to legalize same-sex marriage has arrived one year after Syriza's proposal to the same effect, the party commented on Wednesday.

The main opposition party noted that it tabled its proposal for legalizing gay marriage and adoption rights in June 2022, "when Mitsotakis had said that 'this is not the right time'."

Together with the LGBTQI+ community, Syriza "will continue to exert pressure every day to see this necessary and self-evident step be immediately implemented," it added.
