What changed

  • Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament

    AI summary:The changes clarify the legal basis and wording of the waiver request, with two substantive adjustments: the alleged offence is explicitly not related to parliamentary duties, and the finding on fumus persecutionis is rephrased to state that it does not appear to damage political activity. Other changes are formal or wording: updates to citations, terminology, and sentence structure without altering the substance.
