PASOK abstained and five parties voted against. The government now answers the opposition with a Brussels decision that delays other national laws and spares the Greek one. Greece's parliament passed on 23 October 2026, with votes from New Democracy alone, the law banning social media for under-15s from 1 January 2027. PASOK abstained after proposing a ban for under-13s with parental controls at 13 and 14; KKE, Syriza, Greek Solution, Niki and Course of Freedom voted against, according to Brussels Signal.
