The head of the Democratic Party Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, has reacted after the majority rejected the opposition's request to establish two Parliamentary Investigative Committees; one for the "electoral farce" of May 11 and another for the "McGonigal affair".
Bardhi has described the decision as an unconstitutional act, which, according to him, annihilates one of the main functions of the Assembly, that of parliamentary control.
"Edi Rama's rejection of the opposition's right to establish two Investigative Commissions is an unconstitutional act that destroys not only the opposition's constitutional rights, but parliamentarism itself," Bardhi said.
He added that the Investigative Committees are instruments of transparency and not of political blockage, emphasizing that the opposition only demands standards equal to those of European Union countries.
"We demand the standards that every EU country has, nothing more. European integration is not a ceremony in Brussels, but a cleansing of corruption within the Tirana government. Albania cannot have a European image with African standards," Bardhi added.
The DP MP also emphasized that the role of Parliament should be to guarantee control and accountability, not government propaganda.
"Parliament should not be the place of government propaganda, but the place where the opposition controls, demands accountability and takes responsibility. The opposition will never become a pawn of a gang that, after destroying free and fair elections, also wants to destroy Parliament," Bardhi concluded.
