“The conducted study revealed that a legislative amendment passed at the end of 2017, as a result of which Deputy Chairperson of Faction became a paid position and which, as the parliamentary majority anticipated, would activate factions, did not entail positive results - on the contrary, the number of initiatives of factions decreased, which is an unequivocally negative tendency”, - is stated on the website of the organization.
