The Albanian Prime Minister, Sali Berisha, declared that the conflict
between the two main parties has deepened because the Socialist Party
demands the qualified majority draft-laws as a condition for
implementing the court verdicts for the Fier District.
The majority leader says that what Edi Rama is asking is political bargain, and that same as when he was asking a ballot recount after the elections of 2009, even this time he will not take in consideration the opposition’s request, since these are court verdicts, according to him.
Berisha also explained why he made political declarations in front of school children.
“He has ordered the MPs to leave the Commission, complaining that I have told the schoolchildren to watch those empty seats and never forget them. I will tell it to every child in Albania, because with those empty seats you are destroying the beautiful dream of every child. And in exchange of what?! Political bargains for court orders, the most absurd thing”, Berisha declared.
The government leader mentioned once again the conflict about the election of the Central Election Commission Chairman. According to Berisha, the opposition is using a double standard on this case.
He said that the democrats were the first to demand a hearing session at the Commission of Laws even for the CEC members, but this was rejected by the opposition, according to Berisha.
Although the SP is looking for a hearing session for the CEC Chairman, foreseen as a procedure at the Electoral Code, the Albanian Prime Minister addressed to the standard when he said that either all CEC candidates should pass through the hearing session or neither of them will.
“The Parliament has the right to hear. They reject it for others and demands it only for some, because these are the declassed, according to them”, Berisha declared.
The PM says that Rama is also trying to turn the CEC issue into a bargain. “They will ask for other bargains. I appeal the Socialist Party to give up from the bargain, because sometime you can by cheap but it goes more expensive”, Berisha added.
The Parliament’s Regulation foresees that the Commission of Laws must hear the applicants that run for the Constitutional institutions or the ones created by law. But it doesn’t foresee that this procedure should be used for the candidates proposed for chairmen of these institutions.
