The Democratic Party MPs blocking the rostrum is in the framework of their civil disobedience action declared since the prison sentence of MP Ervin Salianji. On September 30, the opposition MPs even set the chairs of the Assembly on fire after taking them out into the yard, while in other sessions there were also physical confrontations among the MPs in the hall.
After the suspension of the MPs for burning the chairs, the remaining DP MPs in the plenary session have chosen to block the rostrum holding placards in their hands. At the beginning of the session, there were taken measures to avoid any other clash. /k.s/p.s./
