Joint Party Line for Changes to Parliamentary Immunity - AG on Sizopoulos and Sykas

The Attorney General, George Savvides, expressed his satisfaction with the re-introduction of the issue of restricting parliamentary immunity for discussion by the Legal Committee. He emphasized that this is a bill that has been pending for years and concerns the determination of the rights that need to be protected when exercising parliamentary duties. The discussion focused on distinguishing between offenses related to parliamentary work and those that are not, in order to avoid interference with the functioning of Parliament. The Committee will conduct a study on how the issue is addressed in other countries.
