Several Socialist Party MPs were seen entering Parliament before the start of the plenary session, on a morning when attention is focused not only on the parliamentary agenda, but also on the protest continuing outside the building.
Socialists arrive ahead of the session
According to footage from the entrance to Parliament, some PS MPs arrived at Parliament ahead of today’s session.
Among the names identified at the entrance was Ulsi Manja.
Session expected to begin at 10:00
The plenary session is scheduled to begin at 10:00.
The movements of MPs at the entrance to Parliament come at a time when the atmosphere outside the building remains tense because of the protest announced by citizens.
Protest enters its 58th day
Outside Parliament, the citizens’ protest continues and has entered its 58th day.
Its continuation turns every plenary session into a test not only for public order, but also for the relationship between institutions and the citizens who have been protesting for weeks.
Police maintain the same security perimeter
According to the official version, the State Police have taken increased measures around the Parliament building because of the protest.
The same security perimeter as in Thursday’s session has been set up around Parliament, while water cannon vehicles and large police forces are also on standby.
The increased police presence and the continuation of the protest create a strong political backdrop for today’s parliamentary session.
In this climate, the entry of MPs into Parliament is taking place under tight security control and under the direct pressure of the protest outside the institution.
