Parliament is set to hold an extraordinary sitting today, July 28th, to discuss the potential extension of the State of Emergency (SoE) that was initially declared on July 18th. The Constitution stipulates that any extension beyond the initial 15 days must receive parliamentary approval. A simple majority in the House is required to extend the SoE for up to six months, while any further extensions demand a three-fifths majority vote in both the House and Senate. This debate comes at a critical time as lawmakers assess the ongoing situation that led to the declaration of the SoE.
