Democratic Party MP Ina Zhupa has once again denounced the way the Assembly functions under the leadership of the majority, describing it as a 'notary of government draft laws'.
Zhupa said that any initiative or request for debate by the opposition is automatically rejected and in violation of the Assembly's regulations, thus denying the role that MPs should have in representing the public interest.
"It is the same situation that has started since the beginning of this legislature, which is actually not a novelty. It is a way that Edi Rama has chosen to turn the Assembly into a notary of the government's draft law decisions. This is neither in accordance with the Assembly's regulations nor in compliance with the Constitution, nor in accordance with what is our mission as deputies, which is that we should speak there about the public interest, that we should raise our voices and debate for the interest of Albanian citizens. We have a standard response there from the majority against any request that is based on the Assembly's regulations. Every response is NO and NO in violation of any article of the regulations.
We submitted two motions for debate last week. One related to the integration process, what are the steps the government is taking in this new program, given that the government's program to move forward on the path of integration was not even discussed, and another motion to condemn the Serbian genocide in Kosovo. Both received a NO from the majority by force of cards at the conference of mayors.
"This week, today, we discussed a new motion with debate on the need to create a special commission for IPARD funds. You know very well, all Albanians know very well that IPARD funds in the EU were stolen, that IPARD funds are now banned for Albania because a complete scanner must be done and the funds that were alienated for years by the fathers of those who are part of criminal groups must be returned," Zhupa told "Syri TV".
