The majority refused the opposition’s proposition to resolve the political crisis created by the Provisory Prosecutor General through Constitutional amends.
“There will be no compromise against the Constitution that we approved with all 140 votes”, said Ulsi Manja, Chairman of the Commission of Laws.
Socialists don’t seem concerned if this refusal will make the opposition boycott the ad-hoc sub-commission, which will work with the establishment of the High Councils of Prosecution and Judiciary.
“The Constitution provides unblocking mechanisms in case of a political stalemate. The ad-hoc sub-commission can keep working with the councils, and the decision will be taken in a plenary session”, Manja said.
As for the delays caused by the Constitutional Court, which has removed some articles related to the functionality of the High Councils of Prosecution and Judiciary, the Chairman of the Commission of Laws explained that the Parliament could not operate without publishing those decisions on the Official Bulletin. He underlined that the last one was published on December 2017, and, according to Manja, this doesn’t block the work of the Councils.
“The articles that were repealed do not hamper the work of these councils. The Constitutional Court stated that the previous procedure will continue until these problems are addressed to”, he added.
These legal amends require a majority of 84 votes, which the Socialist Party doesn’t have, but Ulsi Manja said that addressing the concerns of the Constitutional Court is also an obligation of the opposition.
