Terrorism and organised crime bills will not be passed without public consultation: President

Addressing the National Trade Union Conference on Saturday (7th), the President said the bills on counter-terrorism and organised crime will not be passed without public consultation.

The decision was reached at a discussion held that morning, he noted.

The bills will proceed only after discussion with the relevant parties, including civil society organisations that have expressed concern about the proposed laws, and after reaching a broad consensus, he said.

"We are not a government that stays in power through laws and regulations," the President added.
