In its Report, the Venice Commission distinguishes between the non-liability and inviolability of Members of Parliament.4 ‘Non-liability’ refers to “immunity against any judicial proceedings for votes, opinions and remarks related to the exercise of parliamentary office, or in other words, a wider freedom of speech than for ordinary citizens”. In turn, ’inviolability’ means ”special legal protection for parliamentarians accused of breaking the law, typically against arrest, detention and prosecution, without the consent of the chamber to which they belong”. In any case, inviolability is only temporary and justice can proceed after the end of the mandate of the Member of Parliament.
