X is a member of parliament in Moldovia. He regularly makes comments during the parliamentary sessions about another member of parliament of the opposition party, Y. X claims during the parliamentary sessions that Y has embezzled millions of dollars and has a secret bank account in Switzerland. In a subsequent tv interview X publicly criticised Y and said that he is guilty of siphoning the public money to afford his lifestyle. These allegations are all false and were proven to be so in an inquiry against Y made 5 years ago, yet X still alleges that Y is corrupt. Y is now suing X for defamation. Will X be liable for:

a. Comments made during the parliamentary session?

b. Comments made during the interview?
