Opposition walks out of parliament
Opposition MPs walked out of a parliament session after one was ordered out
The opposition walked out of a parliament session on Wednesday (April 11) to protest the expelling of Social Democrat Party (SDS) MP Marko Đurišić.
The SDS MP was ordered out by Speaker Maja Gojković at the very start of the session after he asked if there was a working majority present but remained in his seat, listening to opposition >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << protests. The Speaker claimed he yelled at and insulted her.
After trading accusations of incompetence and ignorance with her, the opposition walked out to tell the media that they would return to the session the next day.
“We will remain here, they will have to take us out on bayonets,” Nova Stranka party leader and former Prime Minister Zoran Živković said. "I just wanted to know if there was a working majority and this happened,” Đurišić told reporters.
More than two hours later, Speaker Gojković ordered a 15 minute break because 122 of the total of 250 MPs were present and there was no working majority.
Similar incidents have happened in the Serbian parliament in the past with the ruling party and its speaker silencing, overruling, outvoting or expelling opposition MPs.
