The deputies of the Democratic Party had warned that they would boycott the Commission, after the refusal to vote for it in the Assembly!
The first meeting of the Anti-Corruption Commission headed by Fatmir Xhafajn has been abandoned by the opposition. The deputies of the Democratic Party had warned that they would boycott the Commission, after the refusal to vote for it in the Assembly!
None of the members of the DP, Jorida Tabaku, Dhurata Tyli, Sorina Kote and Flutura Açka, were present at today's meeting. Meanwhile, from the ranks of the SP, apart from Fatmir Xhafajt who is the chairman and members Klotida Bushka, Eduard Shalsi, Etilda Gjonaj, Evis Kushi and Toni Gogu, the Speaker of the Assembly Lindita Nikolla and Minister Elisa Spiopali were also present.
Meanwhile, Xhafaj expressed regret for the boycott of the opposition and once again called on you to sit at the table to work on vital issues for the future of the country. He added that the opposition is repeating the same scene as in 2014 for the justice reform commission.
" The role of the opposition is very important, participation is important for the goals that this reform will address. I am sorry that the opposition has not responded to this invitation for cooperation, this common obligation to engage in this commission that originates from the constitution and the rules of the assembly. This commission will address issues of vital importance for the future of the country, beyond the interest of our parties, it serves the strengthening and modernization of the state, the future of our country. This situation leads to a similar situation when the commission for justice reform began its work in 2014, the opposition even then in 2014, although it had voted for the rise, did not participate in the first meeting and several others. They reflected belatedly and then included. Time showed that our opposition colleagues were wrong and it cost them a lot politically and electorally. I hope that this story will not be repeated and that we will soon have the opposition among us ", said Xhafaj.
Nikolla also expressed regret for the lack of opposition, as he added that this commission has no political charge or party interest.
"There is an important national mission, with the responsibility that the assembly has charged for the crowning of Albania's membership in the EU, through the rule of law and the fight against corruption, the commission will have the full support of the assembly and my personal support. The commission has no political charge or party interest. Since it is a comprehensive commission, I regret that the opposition is not present" , said Nikolla.
We remind you that the commission has 11 members, 6 from the majority and 5 from the opposition, a commission with a 10-month term. The members of this commission are the chairmen and vice-chairmen of the 4 permanent parliamentary committees and those of the European Integration Council./ Pamphlet
