During the last six years Greece has experienced socio-political developments that are unique for a Western state. Five national elections, at least ten governments (some of them not elected), a referendum, unprecedented austerity policies and socio-economic impacts resembling that of a war. These developments, causing atransformation (or even degeneration) of Greek constitutional politics, were not accompanied by formal constitutional change. Of course, the crisis abruptly unveiled the deficiencies of the Greek polity. Thus propositions for constitutional amendments were included in the political programmes of all important parties in the 2012 elections. However this constitutional “moment” simply did not take place; no consensus could be found in society in order to realize it.The purpose of this paper is to show how the tempestuous socio-political situation during the crisis has been translated into legal and institutional transformation under the existent Constitution.
