“Civil Employee” law, debates in Parliament

Berisha appealed the majority to not postpone the Civil Service Law, one of the three laws approved through consensus last session, listed in Brussels’ criteria for the European Union candidate status.

“Mister Co-Leader of the Majority, a big alarming bell is ringing: a decision of Co-Leader Rama to postpone the status of this December, only so that nothing can be attributed to the Democratic Party and its government. You have appointed on the Public Administration Department the loyal man of the other Co-Leader. You have 50% of the employees in that Department, devoted Socialists, but honest people, who have served with dignity in eight years”, Berisha declared.

“I value your concern, Mister Co-Leader of the Opposition, to stop the hand of the Socialist Party leaders from removing the Socialists that you have kept in the administration”, Meta declared.

The majority accepted the request of the Democratic Party as a matter that had not been programmed in today’s agenda. Their request was to postpone the session for removing from duty the former Central Election Commission members, Denar Biba and Albana Shtylla, who resigned after the elections, but the Parliament did not start the voting in that time. Ilir Meta declared that the regulation will be respected in all cases, making only one exemption.

“I am closing this issue here, but don’t ask me to respect the regulation only when Berisha speaks. We have made an exemption for Mr.Berisha and we will keep doing that, trusting that he will use this space in a constructive manner”, Meta declared.

The Parliament voted the consensus between the parties, the establishment of eight Permanent Parliamentary Commission. Three of these will be led by the opposition. Former Prime Minister Berisha will not be part of them, while the former Parliament Speaker, Jozefina Topalli, has decided to become part of the Foreign Commission.

Vangjel Dule was elected Deputy Parliament Speaker, as proposed by the majority. This is the first time that a representative of a minority becomes part of the leading structures of the legislative power.

Dule received votes from the Democratic Party group too, and the votes of the Party for Justice, Integrity and Unity.
