RE: The Emergency Food Security Law:

KaseyKo1: I think Monday is going to be a pivotal day for us in what happens next.

Annie68: I thought they were already using that law.

KaseyKo1: Annie, the law passed but has not been implemented, which is causing a lot of stress for a lot of their people for the politicians not to allow the implementation of the law. They're claiming a few of the articles they have a problem with. Back to the court they go on it.

Yada: I believe it is a desperate attempt to disqualify it using the old line,,,they were a caretaker government, BUT they were in a state of emergency even at that point when they exceeded the number of days form a government,, IT WILL FAIL!!!

Rock1941: what will fail, the law or the attempt to stop it?

Yada: Their ability to stop it. The Law is ratified. They are long past the time frame to form a government. Read it was 75 days from when the vote was completed. Even with all the court challenges to stop this or that, they are still past the time.

KaseyKo1: Concerning the Food Law, I think it was a brilliant move for them to let the law pass on its own in 15 days instead of there being a signing off on the law. Just made it harder for the opposing side to dispute any legality with it.

KaseyKo1: After yesterday's meetings with the UN & now with the court ruling, today should prove to be interesting.
