Today's plenary session started with debates between the parties.
The head of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, has asked Speaker of Parliament Elisa Spiropali to extend the deadline of the Investigative Commission for Concessions in Health.
During his speech in the Assembly, Bardhi addressed Beqaj as a thief, as he said that the former minister dared to threaten the members of the Commission, the opposition MPs.
He also expressed a request for the investigation of this case, as he repeated the call for the postponement of the deadline, one week for the investigative plan and the testimonies, and 2 weeks for the preparation of the report.
Meanwhile, Spiropali recalled that the deadline had been postponed twice and the opposition had dragged it out, not allowing the witness to speak. Bardhi said that Spiropali is worried that "the two-meter thief is Rama, but no, we had him for Ilir Beqaj, not for the prime minister".
Discussion in the Assembly:
Gazment Bardhi: Madam President, I did not understand why you thought of Rama, when Noka spoke about Mr. Beqaj as a 2 meter thief and not about Prime Minister Rama...
Elisa Spiropali: You cannot use the pulpit to trample on the dignity of anyone, not only Mr. Beqaj, it does not matter if he is a prisoner, a detainee or whatever, you cannot insult anyone, there are regulations. It has nothing to do with Mr. Rama or Mr. Beqaj, but for anyone.
Bardhi: First, Ms. Spiropali, when colleague Noka was referring to the two-meter thief, he meant Beqaj, not the prime minister, I don't know why you thought of the prime minister. You, the chairperson of the session, have no right to interfere with my speech.
Secondly, since you care about ethics, you, madam, should be concerned that a person who was imprisoned yesterday was moving freely in the premises of the Assembly and dared to enter the committee's meeting room and dared to threaten the opposition MP without concern.
Yesterday at the chairmen's conference you decided not to give him more time and why the committee did not close the plan. According to the law, this means you deny the right to investigate.
It is your duty to provide the commission with the right to investigate. You think that by impeding the right of the opposition to parliamentary control, one of the concerns raised in the progress report was the narrowing of the opposition to exercise the right of parliamentary control. Here you have the example. Why don't you become the spokesperson for the Constitution, the law and the regulation to give the opposition more time to continue the work, because your deputies are too lazy to work, while theirs is to review the decision. So please, review that decision, take a position according to the rules of the assembly to condemn the blackmail that a criminal in prison has threatened deputies and allow the normal investigation of the commission.
Spiropali: The request that came was presented to the conference of presidents and why was there no intermediate decision. I feel a little guilty that I sent that request with 7 deputies to the conference of chairmen, because without an intermediate decision I should not have presented it. But for the sake of the special importance of voting I have sent it. In the end, it was decided not to postpone. The commission has been postponed twice to come to conclusions, not to abuse the office.
As for who is a criminal, it is determined by the prosecution and the court, and as long as someone comes to the commission and shows willingness to testify, they should be given the opportunity for this to happen. As for the other claims, I was made aware this morning. Undoubtedly, the Guard has respected the regulation, they will be watched carefully. I was made aware of your request this morning.
Gazment Bardhi: Allow the provision and rule, there is no provision and rule for interim decision. The term of the Commission is the exclusive competence of the proposer and further the Conference of Chairmen that determines the duration of the Commission. It does not matter who brings the case, but whether the Commission has completed its work or not. The Commission has not yet completed its work plan and as long as it is not completed, the investigative activity cannot be interrupted. The deadline expired yesterday and you did not give the Commission time for the final report to be presented to the parliamentary session. You have killed the Commission, you have not allowed the opposition to do its work. Today, the final report of the Commission had to be discussed, so your decision-making is against the law, the Constitution and the rules of the Parliamentary Commission. Gather the conference and extend the deadline of the Commission, let's give it another two weeks for the report and one week for the investigation, a total of 3 weeks and agree, so as not to hinder the commission's work.
Beqaj did not voluntarily come and answer to the Commission, he has a legal obligation. What happened is that Beqaj will give his testimony according to the rules that he sets himself from the cell, but the Commission functions according to the law, regulation and procedure. To be in accordance with the law, not according to the rules set by Ilir Beqaj, he will speak according to the rules of the functioning of the Assembly. He may also have a tank with the barrel aimed at the opposition MPs to intimidate them, but to testify. You can't go with a projector to testify, you don't take a power point or a card machine with you, but you are subject to the procedure, not the rules you set yourself. Allow the continuation and extension of the deadline of 3 weeks of the Investigative Commission, quite reasonable for the report, so that we respect the Constitution of the republic.
Elisa Spiropali: The rules of the Assembly must be respected, it cannot be insulted, please! The Court and the Prosecutor's Office determine whether a person is innocent and a thief...
