Since we are three here now, we need three votes so that there are no votes against. The first is the approval of the agenda. Members, you had the opportunity to check the agenda. How would you like to proceed with today's agenda? I agree.

If he leaves, we will lose our quorum.

Thank you. Yes, we have to, indeed, thank you for that, we do not have to file a petition. So, ladies and gentlemen, the audience and at home, what has just happened? So that the city council can hold a meeting, a quorum is required at a committee of members. Then the quorum is at 3. Mr. El Shafi voted against the approval of today's agenda. He stood up and walked away. The two of us here have no quorum, so we cannot continue the meeting. So, ladies and gentlemen, unfortunately we will not be able to hold a meeting today.
