“The prosecutor doesn’t ask to resolve the problem very urgently, she doesn’t ask for a unprecedented session, not less than I might not see any purpose to name a unprecedented session only for that purpose. But when there are different points that must be resolved extra urgently, and there’s a lot of time earlier than the common session, I don’t rule out that there might also be an initiative to name a unprecedented session, during which case we’d additionally withdraw the enchantment of the prosecutor”, J. Razma advised BNS.

Kids, take a stick and kill that Jew” and others.
