A leader from a main opposition party questioned the purpose of such a long session. He said:
“The public wants to know the reason behind running the House for 24 hours. What does the government want to achieve by reducing the number of days and increasing the hours? At least keep the Assembly away from your event gimmicks.”
This leader also said that his party had given the government a document with questions about promises made earlier. the government instead talked about a vision for 2047.
