Shkruar nga PamfletiThe reports of the heads of justice, Altin Dumani and Olsian Çela, risk not happening after the SP has threatened to go directly to the vote without the anticipated discussions taking place.
The head of the Socialist Party Parliamentary Group, Taulant Balla, has requested a 15-minute break in the plenary session to meet with the opposition and agree on the continuation of the session and the reporting of the heads of justice institutions.
Balla has even threatened to close the session, saying that if the opposition does not agree that questions for the leaders be asked in writing, not orally as the opposition demands, then he will demand that this marathon session go directly to a vote.
"In the absence of the group leader, Mr. Vice-President Belind Këlliçi, your request to violate the rules of procedure will not receive our agreement, neither today nor in a month. I request a 15-minute break for a conversation with you and the group leaders present. If we do not have your agreement to continue, I will request an interruption of the discussions and a vote," said Balla.
The majority does not accept that the heads of the judiciary be questioned by opposition MPs, who it says have sent their questions earlier in writing, while the latter want to read their ambiguities.
After a procedural debate that lasted for more than 1 hour and 30 minutes, the leader of the SP group requested a break of a few minutes for the possibility of reaching an agreement on this issue, otherwise, just like in other sessions, it will be put to a vote.
Today's parliamentary session, where five heads of independent institutions are scheduled to report and the debate has been agreed to last over 12 hours, risks being blocked again.
The reason is the procedure that will be followed for the debate on each report of independent institutions.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Niko Peleshi, said that based on the manual for reporting institutions to the Assembly, MPs should submit questions before the start of the session and then, during the reporting, the head of the independent institution reads the question and provides the answer.
According to Pelesh, this is a practice followed since 2016, but not implemented in the last two years.
The leader of the SP group, Taulant Balla, was also on the same line.
"There is a rule, questions are filed before the session. Even when you want to ask the prime minister questions, the questions are filed before and the prime minister reads the question that the deputy has given him. You have 5 hours to speak, maybe he (Berisha) there doesn't want you to speak. It's his job," said Balla.
But according to the opposition, this is an attempt to silence the opposition and disrupt the parliamentary session.
"This is a mockery of the regulations and the Constitution and the right to speech, but also a mockery of the leaders of justice institutions, because they are neither spokespersons nor secretaries of the deputies. Why do you want to take away the right to ask questions from the deputies?" said Belind Këlliçi.
For the Socialists, the fact that opposition MPs want to ask questions in the session is a trial they want to put to independent institutions.
"Oral questions put the prosecutor in difficulty and put pressure on him," said Toni Gogu.
Meanwhile, for Sali Berisha, both the leaders of independent institutions and the majority MPs are sinners and have agreed not to allow MPs' questions.
