Civic Democrats gain majority in Senate

The Civic Democrats and the Social Democrats have enough seats in Parliament to change the constitution if they were to join forces. The two parties have 53 of the 81 seats in the Senate and 155 of the 200 seats in the Chamber of Deputies. In order to amend the constitution, they will not have to depend on a single vote from the smaller parties.

Together with the Christian Democrats, the Civic Democrats have 52 of the 81 seats in the Senate.
