What happened suddenly to the emergency law !


The state of emergency imposed recently due to the crisis in the country has been lifted after midnight on May 20.

It is up to Parliament to enact and enforce the state of emergency, which must be submitted to Parliament by the President for approval within 14 days of enactment.
