era emergency powers to restore order will face its 2nd judicial review today what can we expect. i got today that there is a court hearing with the both sides bringing the arguments and flame court i we will not see a ruling today that was. the demand for an emergency ruling on friday that has not been granted so this will be no 14 court the situation is extremely tricky it's an extremely tricky constitutional matter the law dates from the 920 s. when concours constitution the myth the basic law and so-called many considerations has been in force since 997 and the government passing this law on the brows of this colonial law i is seen by the opposition as a highly antique constitution though the constitution should prevail they arguing
