“We found out that his condition deteriorated after the blow he received on the head,” said Eileen Jusoor, a member of the Good Party (national), to which the injured MP, Hussein Ors, belongs.
Jusoor explained that Urs, 58, is in the intensive care unit and his condition is “critical.”
The scenes, broadcast by Turkish media, show the deputy from Trabzon, on the Black Sea in the northeast of the country, receiving a blow from a deputy in the ruling Justice and Development Party.
The fight broke out during the discussion of the 2023 budget, and the party led by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan did not immediately comment on the incident.
A spokesman for the Good Party, Korshat Zorlu, said: “Our deputy was subjected to a strong attack. (…) This is a shameful day for the Turkish parliament and all those who committed this attack.”
The discussions of the Turkish parliament usually witness altercations, which may reach the point of fighting and exchanging punches.
