The head of the Democratic Party Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, has reacted after the Socialist Party published a new draft for amending the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, proposed following the Constitutional Court's decision that overturned the previous version.
Through a reaction on social media, Bardhi has described the majority's initiative as a low provocation and an attempt to unilaterally change the rules of operation of the Assembly. He emphasizes that the Parliament's regulations cannot be treated as a party document that is changed according to the will of a single political force.
"If one party unilaterally dictates the rules of coexistence, then this is violence of the majority against the minority within the Assembly! Coexistence within democratic institutions is made impossible and the opposition is dictated by force of words, even whether it should speak or not, how much it should speak and what it should say," emphasizes Bardhi.
According to him, the imposition of rules by one party without agreement with the opposition constitutes a form of pressure on the parliamentary minority.
Bardhi also adds that such actions, according to him, risk leading to the dysfunction of the Assembly and preventing the opposition from exercising its role in political life. He also recalls that the changes to the Assembly's regulations in 2012 were approved by consensus between the parties, a condition that was required at the time by the European Commission to grant Albania the status of candidate country for the European Union.
"The Rules of Procedure of the Assembly are not the Statute of the Socialist Party, which is changed every month according to the will of a single political party. The Rules of Procedure of the Assembly are the law that guarantees the coexistence of all political forces within democratic institutions, determined in a consensual manner and now with consolidated rules.
If one party unilaterally dictates the rules of coexistence, then this is violence by the majority against the minority within the Assembly! Coexistence within democratic institutions is made impossible and the opposition is dictated by force of words whether or not it should speak, how much it should speak, and what it should say.
By strongly condemning the low provocation of the Socialist Party Parliamentary Group through the new unilateral proposal to amend the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly, I remind you that it is encouraging, through unilateral actions, the dysfunction of the Assembly and is preventing the opposition from fulfilling its will to exercise its role in a democratic society.
I also recall that in 2012, the amendment of the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly by CONSENSUS alone was a condition of the European Commission for Albania to receive the status of a candidate country for the EU. What about today? Today, it has become a rag with which Edi Rama's corrupt majority provokes the opposition every month, even when the latter is unanimously given the right by the Constitutional Court. Without a single particle of sympathy, without a single particle of reflection," writes Bardhi.
