A new brawl erupted Wednesday inside the parliament between the opposition and ruling party lawmakers. The incident started when one of the deputies of the ruling "My Step" faction was delivering a speech. After remarks that all former defense ministers who have freed citizens from mandatory military service through bribes or calls are traitors, a water bottle was thrown toward the speaker.
