Liechtenstein parliament hit by earthquake while discussing earthquake insurance

Euronews reports:

In the middle of a debate in Liechtenstein’s Landtag on Thursday afternoon, a 4.1 magnitude earthquake was felt — just as the MPs discussed whether the small European nation needs to mandate insurance in the event of quakes […]

The second, larger tremor shook the parliament building more violently, prompting the President of the Landtag, Albert Frick, to temporarily halt the session and evacuate the chamber.

Cheblogudo is unfamiliar with Liechtenstein parliamentary procedure, but it looks like the concept of introducing a floor motion to end debate was taken too literally here.
