PD MP Gazment Bardhi has sent a letter to the speaker of parliament, Lindita Nikolla, and to foreign embassies in Tirana regarding today's clashes and chaos in the plenary session, through which he accused the majority of trying to create a one-party parliament.
In the letter sent, Bardhi states that the majority has tried to silence the voice of the opposition in the Assembly by denying legal initiatives and not allowing it to set up investigative commissions.
Referring to the measures taken today in the Assembly, Bardhi writes that the Assembly hall has been transformed into a Guard hall where the guards try to intimidate the opposition MPs.
Bardhi has compared the behavior of the majority with that of the dictator of North Korea, Kim Jong Un, while saying that the latter "would be envious of what is happening in the Assembly".
White's letter to the ambassadors:
"Your socialist majority has decided to annihilate the opposition in the Parliament by denying it all the rights recognized by the Constitution and the Regulations of the Assembly of Albania. By denying the constitutional right to parliamentary control of the Government, not reviewing the draft laws of the opposition MPs, denying the right to receive answers from the executive bodies on matters of interest to citizens, or denying the right to appoint its own representatives in special parliamentary committees, practically your majority is trying to create a one-party, anti-democratic, authoritarian Parliament and that openly violates the rights of the parliamentary minority.
Instead of reflecting and taking the initiative to put the Parliament on the tracks of the Constitution and Regulations, you personally increased the illegal activity, giving illegal orders to the Republic Guard, to prevent the opposition MPs from exercising their function.
Initially, in violation of the Regulations of the Parliament, which stipulates that a disciplinary measure can be taken against a deputy, which includes "non-participation in the parliamentary commissions and in the plenary session" [1], you ordered the Guard of the Republic to prevent the deputies from even entering in their offices in the Presidency of the Assembly, to access the Protocol office in the Assembly, or to communicate freely with the media in the special room in the Presidency of the Assembly. These oppressive measures against the opposition, not only are not allowed by the Rules of the Parliament, but constitute the most brutal intervention that a Speaker of the Assembly has undertaken in these 32 years of democracy, creating the perception of a police state, which prevents the MPs of the opposition from performing their functions. freely and unhindered by the arbitrary actions of the security forces.
Then with an unprecedented act, before the start of several plenary sessions, more than 60 employees of the Republic Guard were present inside the hall, preventing the deputies from entering and moving freely in the premises of the plenary session hall. Meanwhile, the corridors connecting to the hall were inaccessible to the opposition MPs, due to an unprecedented presence of the Guard forces, which in total were more than 200 security personnel in and around the hall where the MPs exercise their functions.
In this way, after trying to extinguish the opposition in the Parliament, through the unconstitutional denial of its rights, you have currently moved to the stage of turning the Parliament into a hall of the Republic Guard, intimidating the opposition MPs with security forces. in flagrant violation of the Constitution and the Rules of the Assembly.
Based on the definition of point 3, article 122 of the Rules of the Assembly, where it is specified that "Employees of the Security Service in the Assembly in the hall of plenary sessions and meetings of the Assembly's bodies act only by order of the President or the leader of the session / collection", based on Article 8 of Law no. 8550, dated 18.11.1999 "On the status of the deputy", as amended, I request to make available to us a copy of your order that allowed/ordered the employees of the special forces of the Republic Guard to enter the hall of plenary sessions, without no cause and without any event occurring that harms anyone's safety.
Finally, let me bring to your attention that the intimidation of opposition MPs by security forces is an action that even North Korea and Kim Jong-un himself would envy. Albania, as a member of NATO and a candidate country for the European Union, should align itself with the standards of the EU countries and not with the standards of the dictator of North Korea! In any case, allow me on behalf of the opposition MPs to assure you and your spiritual leader Edi Rama, that you will remain eternally and tentatively only an ugly and miniature copy of Kim Jong.
