The opposition accuses Prime Minister Edi Rama of seeking to distort the outcome of the upcoming parliamentary elections by unilaterally changing the rules of the game. The vice-president of the DP led by Sali Berisha, Oerd Bylykbashi, who for 2 decades has been part of every electoral reform, brings to attention that the implementation of this reform by consensus in a bipartisan commission was decided for the first time in 2002.
At that time - explains Bylykbashi - OSCE-ODIHR and the Council of Europe, after the problematic elections of 2001, asked Fatos Nano and Sali Berisha to sign an agreement for the implementation of the electoral reform by consensus, where the socialists committed not to use the majority of ballots in the assembly against decisions of the bipartisan commission
" The bipartisan term, beyond the funny aspect of Edi Rama's phraseology, has nothing to do with Edi Rama's partisans and ballistas; it is more about the fact that politics has two sides, not two parties. This commission should be 50% majority, 50% opposition, so equal representation and with the right to exercise the veto or to give the consensus of the two largest parties of the majority and the opposition ", said Bylykbashi.
Bylykbashi explains that in two decades the consensus has made the political parties accept the results of the elections
" What has enabled the consensuality of the electoral reform in this period are two democratic rotations with elections, in 2005 and 2013, because the common rules with consensus have given the parties the opportunity that, no matter how many problems there were in the elections, the vote prevailed ", he said. he.
The vice-president of the Democrats recalls the transformation of Edi Rama, bringing to attention that in 2009 even the government's decisions related to the elections had to be consensual
" What stands out is the strong contrast between Edi Rama, who in power violates any space of cooperation, consensuality, agreement for the rules of the game, not for the result of the game; with Edi Rama crying in the European chancelleries asking for consensual electoral reform ", said Bylykbashi.
According to Bylykbashi, the purpose of Edi Rama's new rhetoric is clear
" Clearly Edi Rama wants to consolidate the capture of the elections now not only through the patronage system but by unilaterally changing the legal framework, in addition to the electoral system ", he declared.
Bylykbashi has revealed that the international factor is also interested in a consensual reform
" Even the international factor is putting pressure on Edi Rama and asking him to have a comprehensive reform, which means consensual ", said the former deputy.
The Electoral Reform Commission and the change in the rules for consensual elections is one of the reasons why the opposition has been blocking the parliament since October 5 of last year, and if its demands are not met, the tension in the parliament may escalate.
