AMA, Bushati’s member mandate has expired

None of the three members has been erplaced, while the leader of AMA, Endira Bushati, has her mandate expired for a long time.

To resolve this stalemate, the vice chairman of Commission of Media and Education, Parliament Member Alfred Peza, filed a proposition in Parliament for amending law 134 of the audiovisual law, underlining the need for adopting AMA to the new law that has been approved this spring, and also for the fact that AM is functioning with a director whose mandate has expired.

“The AMA leader, Mrs.Bushati, doesn’t have a mandate for the position that she is holding. This makes it impossible for her to work as a leader, because you cannot be a director without being a member”, Peza declared.

Article 134 of this law conflicts with article 9, which requires an immediate change, by asking AMA member to be proposed by the civil society and not political parties.

“The AMA members will not be proposed by the political parties, as they are now, but by associations and organizations. Political parties will only have a final role in what the civil society has proposed”, declared the Socialist Party Parliament Member.

After filing the request for normalizing the procedures with AMA, the Commission for the Media and Education continued with the hearing of 20 candidates of the Albanian Public Television board of directors, who spoke about their ideas and platforms for reforming and restructuring this institution.
