Deputies were summoned to meet in an extraordinary session in order to vote on the controvercial files which have been postponed for a considerable time now. Thus, there were 276 deputies present and 120 of them voted for the approval of the investigation of Adrian Nastase and 160 voted for the approval of Miron Mitrea’s file.
