Greek Parliament approved the 2026 state budget late Tuesday following a five-day debate that concluded with speeches by party leaders and an electronic roll-call vote.
Of the 295 lawmakers present, 159 voted in favour and 136 against.
Parliament Speaker Nikitas Kaklamanis said the process unfolded over five plenary sessions lasting a total of 66 hours, with 250 speakers participating, including government ministers, party leaders and MPs.
Kaklamanis noted that procedural changes allowed the debate to conclude by 8 pm, despite a 25 per cent increase in speaking time and doubled allocations for political leaders and the prime minister.
