During discussions on the constitutional revision in Greece, particularly focused on Article 16, tensions emerged between the ruling New Democracy (ND) party and the opposition PASOK party. The dialogue highlighted significant ideological divisions regarding the establishment of private universities in the country. ND's representative, Evripidis Stylianidis, suggested the necessity of releasing higher education from state control, proposing the introduction of a legal framework for university education that would permit private institutions.

In contrast, PASOK maintained a defensive position, emphasizing that their priority is maintaining public university statuses and expressing concerns about the implications of privatizing higher education. Both parties appeared to express surprise at the other's positions during the debates in the Constitutional Revision Committee. While ND has opened the door to potential changes that could support non-state universities, PASOK has refrained from openly endorsing such a pivot, suggesting a cautious approach as they await further developments from ND regarding their proposed reforms.
