The coalition decided the Government would present the bill merging next year’s local and parliamentary elections and the bill regulating judge appointments at the High Court of Justice on Thursday, December 15.

Unless the opposition submits a motion of no-confidence within three days, the two bills are considered adopted.

If the opposition decides to submit a motion of no-confidence, the Government will insist that it be read out in Parliament next Monday, December 19, and put to the vote on Thursday, December 22. A potential motion of no-confidence may be carried if more than half of lawmakers vote in its favor. The Cabinet is overthrown if a motion of no-confidence is carried.

The Government expects amendments to the two bills it wants to adopt by December 14.
