@moonwalker yeah, what was rejected was the extension that was in place since 2021, the thing that is still being negotiated is the one who was talked about during the second half of last year

@Digol I am well aware that this is not the end, but at this point I'll take this small win.
hopefully the Parliament will reject the rest of it.

@Digol also it was rejected by only one vote (jesus christ they were so close to passing this shit)
