Urban Amnesty Plan

[Irini]

Hello,

I recently read the article regarding the urban amnesty plan. It states:

''The new Urban Amnesty Plan is expected to be approved at today’s afternoon session of the Council of Ministers, and it will come into effect immediately for a period of only six months.''

My lawyer says it needs to be voted on by Parliament and become law. Only then will they investigate whether I can apply.

The two sources are conflicting. Can someone please shed some light on whether or not I would be able to apply?

TIA

My lawyer says it needs to be voted on by Parliament and become law.

That's incorrect. It was an executive decision taken by the Council of Ministers. It does not need to be voted on by Parliament.

I suggest you get a lawyer who knows what he/she is talking about.
