Discussion on Euthanasia and Palliative Care Requirements
June 2, 2025
Irene Charalambidou warned that she would bring her euthanasia bill to the plenary if there is no law on palliative care by January 2026. However, there were strong disagreements during the discussion in the Human Rights Committee, with the honorary president of the Patients' Federation expressing concerns over the stigmatization of patients. Ms. Charalambidou emphasized that the proposal includes strict conditions and only concerns adults. The public dialogue on euthanasia continues, and citizens seem supportive of the issue.
