The 58-year-old Örs is in the intensive care unit. Pictures showed him being taken away by ambulance.

The two groups initially argued verbally and then attacked each other with their fists. Several MPs fell to the ground, as reported by DHA and as can be seen in the pictures. The reason for the dispute is unclear. Parliament had a budget planning session.
