Paragraph 75
 

As all ad homines legislation, the Amendment is also problematic from the point of view of the principle of equality. The distinction between the 139 deputies on the one hand, and all earlier cases as well as the cases which arose since adoption of the Amendment on the other hand, cannot be justified with the workload of the Assembly. The Amendment violates therefore the principle of equality.
