There’s a perverse pleasure many South Africans take from watching other countries’ parliamentary sittings turn farcical.
No, just me? Well fine then, let’s get on with what went down over in Turkey between legislators from the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP).
Here’s Mashable:
The row revolved around a contentious bill to strip legislators of their immunity for prosecution, which could pave the way for the trial of several pro-Kurdish lawmakers on terror-related charges.
The HDP, which believes the bill is aimed at suppressing dissent against the AKP government of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, walked out of the constitutional committee meeting after the brawl…
The proposal, which was prepared after Erdogan accused the HDP of being an arm of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), was later approved by the committee.
Makes all that #ZuptaMustFall business seem rather timid in comparison.
