1 February 2009

The Fourth Congress of the Members of Parliament Union (MPU), held in Malahide, Ireland from 20 to 23 January 2009, was successfully completed in accordance with democratic principles.

Like in a true parliamentary session, several important issues were heatedly debated and seriously discussed among the parliamentarians but once the discussions were over, they treated each other with respect and good manners. We reject irresponsible and groundless media reports about a brawl taking place during the discussions.

The decisions taken on issues like Credentials Challenge at the United Nations, the election of a new Prime Minister, and the confirmation votes on ministers nominated by the new Prime Minister were conducted through secret balloting and strictly in accordance with standard democratic principles. Hence, all reports aimed at disgracing the Congress, the MPU, the NCGUB and individual parliamentarians are far from the truth.

The decision to issue this public statement was decided by the joint meeting of the MPU and NCGUB held on 1 February 2009.

Joint Statement regarding to the 4th MPU Congress held Ireland

2nd February 2009

The 4th Congress of the Members of Parliament Union (MPU) was successfully held in Malahide, Ireland from 20th to 23rd January 2009. During the Congress the attending Members of Parliament seriously discussed, argued and debated like a Parliament Session. However, the Parliamentarians during session or time-out, treated one another gentlemanly and there was no brawl at all as per a few media reports.

The decision makings on credentials challenge issue, election of the Prime Minister and approval voting for new Cabinet members were carried out in accordance with standard democratic principles.

Therefore all imaginary reports and interviews which discredit the legitimate Congress, the MPU, the NCGUB and the individual Parliamentarians are far from truth. This public statement is issued as decided and assigned by the joint meeting between MPU and NCGUB held on 1-2-09.
