Tensions in Macedonia's Parliament, Xhaferi Gives an Hour of Rest

Due to tension created within the session where the first point of the agenda was the language law, Parliament head Talat Xhaferi at the request of the opposition gave a one-hour break.

At the beginning of the session, the majority of VMRO DPMNE deputies appeared for procedure, while MP Ilija Dimovski demanded that the issue be passed to the Commission for Adjusting Affairs to resolve the uncertainty about 35 thousand amendments to this party, Alsat M reports.

Dimovski said the entire procedure has been in conflict with the rule, starting with the failure of public debate, labelling the law with the European star, the Mother Commission, as well as not reviewing the amendments during the second reading.
