Shkruar nga PamfletiThis reaction of Spiropali to the Assembly comes after criticism at the meeting of the SP parliamentary group and several 'coded' messages that seemed to refer to the Prime Minister.
The last session of Parliament yesterday was accompanied by strong clashes between MPs Taulant Balla and Flamur Noka.
Former Speaker of the Parliament, Elisa Spiropali, has reacted through a post on social networks, warning that Parliament is no longer exercising its controlling role and if this model continues, the functioning of the Parliamentary Republic itself is at risk.
According to the former Speaker of Parliament, banal conflict is replacing function.
"The crisis of Parliament is the crisis of the Parliamentary Republic.
Yesterday in Parliament we didn't just see tension. We saw a mechanism that is failing to produce policy.
What is happening in Parliament is not something unknown to politics.
Conflict has always been part of it. But today the problem is not the conflict itself. The problem is that banal conflict is replacing the function.
Parliament is no longer able to exercise its representative and controlling role. Instead of being a space where the interests of society are represented and where governance and institutions are controlled, it is turning into an arena where energy is wasted without producing direction.
When the function atrophies, the first consequence is the decline of trust. And when trust declines, not only Parliament is weakened, but the very idea of the Parliamentary Republic.
Because a Parliamentary Republic is not maintained by procedures alone. It is maintained by function. By debate that produces meaning. By control that produces responsibility.
If this continues, the risk is not simply a weak Parliament. The risk is that the Parliamentary Republic will remain only a form, and not a substance.
"Europe demands from us what we should demand from ourselves: institutions that function, not just exist," writes the former Speaker of the Parliament.
During yesterday's session, Taulant Balla argued fiercely with Elda Hoti, after the latter attempted to take the microphone card.
Hoti addressed Balla with the words "be careful when you talk to me" , while the latter said "I'll show you ours" . Meanwhile, in another episode during the tensions, Flamur Noka hit Taulant Balla with a water bottle.
"I'll beat you like a kid, do whatever you want," he is said to have told Noka-Balla during the clashes in the hall, where he hit him with the water bottle.
This reaction of Spiropali to the Assembly comes after criticism at the meeting of the SP parliamentary group and several 'coded' messages that seemed to refer to the Prime Minister.
