Socialist Party MP Petro Koçi spoke about the last session in the Assembly and the tensions between the majority and the opposition. According to him, what happened was not normal and blamed the opposition for the chaos caused.
Koçi said that the parliamentary session is a "two-party tango", while adding that the majority was forced to close the session quickly, saying that the opposition's actions have as their main motive the protection of former prime minister Sali Berisha, who is under investigation. from SPAK for several weeks.
The budget session closed for 5 minutes, was this normal?
Should we sit under the smoke longer to be satisfied with the health-behavioral products of the opposition? It is not normal what happened but it is legitimate. It all happened because of the opposition, not the majority. We were prepared to conduct a normal session. The session is a two-way tango, not one-way. We were obliged to hold such a session. The budget must pass. It may be up to me or Sali Berisha to throw bombs in the Assembly... I think we did the best possible thing.
Major national newspapers picked up that image of the flames in the parliament and it hurts the country. This is a very big damage that Berisha did to people. This harms Albania and the people. Berisha and DP are both a political force and a paramilitary force. It is such a party. I remind you what he did in Libofshë in '94. They appeared in these sessions as a paramilitary and violent force.
You say that this situation damages the country in the eyes of the world, why don't you stop the culprits by fulfilling the request that the opposition has?
They always have alibi for violence. The main motive is the protection of Sali Berisha, who is under investigation by SPAK. You have seen every time Berisha speaks, the second part is about SPAK. They are united things and the one who united them is Sali Berisha.
Being a former high official and saying SPAK is a criminal organization, I find a space for dialogue with this person. What political hell can you do with this kind of man?
Albania is like Snow White and Sali Berisha is like the witch who opposes her. Even the features like that witch have.
They have some 100 requests, not only the investigative commissions. When they saw that the Berisha group had more weight in the election tests, they all trembled, abandoned Luli and ran away. All this is a situation created by the lack of morality.
A constructive parliament is the basis for EU integration. If they are guilty, who are you in this case? Internationals demand dialogue, but you do not accept. Why don't you sit down?
In the parliament, dialogue institutions are established, there are commissions, a conference of presidents, etc. When we meet in the committee, they come more violently and don't even let you speak. The opposition has taken away our right to speak. De facto. Even in the parliament. They talk for 2 hours and we stay to listen to them.
They have violently violated the sessions without starting the flames and smoke bombs. If he comes as a bandit in the parliamentary committee, Dashnor Sula, the businessman, comes roaring.
There is no dialogue with shouting. It is an invitation to violence. Parliament is constructive if the parties within are so. It is not constitutional to throw bombs in parliament.
Anyone who does unseemly actions should be dealt with. I am a parliamentarian and I have my right to vote and I will vote every time for what I believe. Berisha cannot force me to vote for his ordinary investigative commissions, I am for serious investigative commissions that deal with important cases, from which conclusions can be drawn and opportunities for reforms, changes or even punishments emerge.
The majority deputy concluded by saying that the opposition must give up violence, while further saying that there can be no dialogue with a "paramilitary force".
What should the opposition do?
They must give up violence. I am against it, there is no dialogue with a paramilitary force. I am convinced that they will come up with other excuses even further.
