Clashes in the Parliament as National Guard stops the DP MPs, Bardhi goes under the balcony of Berisha

This Monday’s parliamentary session marked a step towards the union of the two groups within the opposition DP.

In a double action, inside and outside the parliament, the MPs of the Bardhi group and those of the Reestablishment of former Prime Minister Berisha, seemed to synchronize their actions.

The Guard officers had taken measures to close the doors of the Assembly not only for the expelled deputies, but also for those who did not have penalties, a decision that angered the democrats.

The Bardhi-Noka duo clashing with the cordon of the Guard of the Republic and the attempted hit from Asllan Dogjani inside the parliament hall, caused Speaker Lindita Nikolla to interrupt the works immediately as soon as the loudspeaker was turned on in the hall.

Clashes inside the hall took place at a time when flares and capsules were thrown outside.

Unusual was Gazment Bardhi’s statement about joining his group to the democrats in the protest.

Bardhi chose not to speak in front of the protesters, while the deputies who follow his line climbed up to the podium one after another.

Among the protesters, who had grabbed him by the arm, Gazment Bardhi then found himself under the balcony of the head of the rival group in the party, former PM Sali Berisha, who, from the house arrest, announced the next protest on February 20.

The step of unification was taken, but Gazment Bardhi hesitated to accept it when asked by Top Channel if he accepts Sali Berisha as the political leader of this union.
