[01] Parl't rejects referendum
Parliament on Wednesday evening rejected proposals by the opposition
parties for a referendum to be held on the social security system
reform. Voting against the holding of a referendum were 152 deputies,
while 146 voted for it.
A three fifths majority, meaning 180 out of the 300-member House, was
needed for the proposal to pass.
The vote ended a two-day Parliamentary debate on the matter.
