قانون رقم 294

يرمي إلى تخفيض مؤقت لرسوم بعض رخص البناء وفقا لتصاميم نموذجية

Parliament passed a law that allows municipalities to grant exceptional building permits, circumventing the permitting process. Experts and critics warn that this amounts to an electoral bribe that would enable haphazard building, which they add would also negatively affect the environment.
