The hearing at the Special Commission for Territorial Reform was accompanied by tensions and debates between representatives of the opposition and the majority.
The committee's Democratic co-chair, Luciano Boçi, left the chamber after a clash with Socialist co-chair Arbjan Mazniku.
The debate began after Mazniku interrupted Boçi and took away his microphone, arguing that the opposition representatives were not leaving space for the majority MPs to speak.
Excerpts from the debate:
Boçi: I can close it because it's unethical. Not by taking the microphone away from me...
Mazniku: The opposition spoke, no one from the majority spoke.
Boçi: It is not ethics that interferes with my speech. Now you are overdoing it. I am not asking a question, I am making a statement. I understand that the word question agitates you. I will finish.
Mazniku: This story cannot continue.
Boçi: This challenge is not done in this form because we are also live. I do not accept such challenges in the committee. I do not want anyone to interrupt my presentation, no MP can interrupt us and we cannot intervene as co-chairs. The orchestra stops here.
Mazniku: Give me the floor.
Boçi: Don't be silly, I'll finish it. What is this interference?
Mazniku: You haven't given the floor to a person from the majority for two hours.
Boçi: Put the microphone in your pocket. This shows your authority.
Mazniku: Don't abuse the space you've been given.
Boçi: Keep it fun.
