A group of 45 MPs filed a petition with the Constitutional Court demanding that the tougher disciplinary measures are overruled.

Under the new changes, MPs who break the rules will no longer face a 10-day suspension, but they could be expelled from parliament for a period from 30 to 60 days.

According to democrat MPs, the recent amendments approved by the ruling Socialist Party do not serve the interests of the public and that their only purpose is to silence the opposition.
