Controversy

On 28 April 2010, a commenter on Telloglou's blog suggested that certain constitutional provisions be either suspended or re-interpreted, as well as that measures be undertaken to expedite court rulings examining the legality of strikes, citing the example of Belgium. The commenter signed the comment with the name Tasos Telloglou, sparking controversy among part of the blogosphere and the press. The comments on the article in questionΤο τίμημα της εκλογής.

In there, he proposed a number of constitutional amendments, among which that demonstrators be required to apply for permission beforehand to curb the wave of demonstrations (of which there were 11,045 in 6 years in Athens alone).
