The opposition requests the Administrative Court to repeal the disciplinary measures taken at the end of 2025
The Democratic Party has taken the issue of the exclusion of several of its deputies from the proceedings of the Assembly to the Administrative Court, challenging the decisions taken by the Ethics Secretariat at the end of 2025.
The lawsuit includes Flamur Noka, Albana Vokshi, Elda Hoti, Fidel Kreka and Klevis Balliu. They are asking the court to declare the disciplinary measures imposed on them at the end of last year invalid.
According to the allegations presented in the lawsuit, during the consideration of the case at the Secretariat for Procedure, Voting and Ethics, the deputies were not given the opportunity to present their positions, familiarize themselves with the evidence or provide explanations. The same argument states that the meeting was interrupted and the decision was then taken in a closed environment by representatives of the majority.
The Democratic Party describes this process as a use of the parliamentary majority to impose measures against the opposition. The lawsuit argues that the punishments were disproportionate and related to the protest actions of opposition MPs, inside and outside the Assembly hall.
The five MPs who objected to the decisions have already completed the measures taken earlier and have returned to parliamentary life. Meanwhile, Flamur Noka and Elda Hoti also face new disciplinary measures, respectively 20 and 10 days of suspension, imposed a few days ago by the Ethics Commission.
In the previous legislature, the Democratic Party also appealed to the Administrative Court on similar issues. In 2024, the court partially accepted its request and repealed or reduced the measures imposed on 24 Democratic MPs.
