Lithuanian parliament strips Labour MP Viktor Uspaskich of legal immunity
86 Lithuanian lawmakers voted in favor of a draft resolution on immunity cancelation, 29 voted against and 15 abstained. At least 71 MPs need to support such a motion in order to pass it.
The Social Democrats, conservatives, and liberals unanimously voted in favor of the resolution as did three members of the non-affiliated political group and three members of the Path of Courage Party's political group, Aurelija Stancikienė, Vytautas Matulevičius, and Algirdas Patackas. Other members of the latter group did not attend the vote.
Petras Gražulis, elder of the Order and Justice Party group, had proposed to hold a secret ballot but the proposal was rejected.
