The Speaker of the Parliament, Niko Peleshi, has reacted after the statement of the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, Agron Gjekmarkaj, who spoke regarding Thursday's session in Parliament.
Peleshi stated that the Albanian Parliament is among the most liberal in the EU in terms of the spaces and freedoms of deputies.
"What happened yesterday cannot be hidden behind literary finesse," said Peleshi, referring to Gjekmarkaj's manner of articulation in the plenary session.
Agron Gjekmarkaj, the Democratic Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, during a meeting at the Conference of Speakers, accused representatives of the socialist majority of trying to depersonalize the opposition.
"You are trying to depersonalize the opposition, but in fact you are depersonalizing yourself. By reducing the freedoms and spaces of the opposition, you have narrowed your vital, political and human freedoms and spaces," said Gjekmarkaj.
According to Pelesh, the opposition is inciting a climate of clashes and disagreement, emphasizing that it does not serve the Assembly.
"If you continue to defend what happened yesterday, you are actually inciting a climate of clashes and disagreements that serves no one, neither the Assembly, nor the citizens, nor the opposition itself."
As far as I'm concerned, throughout my entire leadership and my entire political career, I can only be accused of excessive patience. I have shown extraordinary patience and have not engaged, nor will I engage, in personal attacks on anyone.
"I also greatly appreciate your political eloquence, but today I regret to say that your intervention is deeply influenced by political calculations. If you continue to defend what happened yesterday, you are in fact inciting a climate of clashes and disagreements that serves no one, neither the Assembly, nor the citizens, nor the opposition itself," Peleshi said.
