Opposition managed to knock the majority and blocked the rostrum
Speaker of the parliament Volodymyr Lytyvn opened today's evening session without scandals and so far the situation in the hall was quiet. Even the protesters outside the parliament decreased in number.

However, some time after the opposition hung out a banner with caricatures on the power representatives and with the inscription "Destruction of state language is the destruction of Motherland", ForUm correspondent reports.

While speaker Lytyvn and his first deputy were sitting on their working places, some opposition members rushed to the parliamentary rostrum. MPs of the majority tried to stop the attackers, but failed, and the opposition MPs have managed to block the rostrum.

Lytyvn has announced a break and invited the faction leaders for a conciliatory board meeting.
