Commission for discharging Spahiu established

74 votes in favor by the majority and with the opposition against, was established the Commission that for three weeks will investigate the activity of Kreshnik Spahiu, accused of trying to discredit a state figure and violating the Constitution.

The opposition made it clear that they are not satisfied by Mr.Spahiu’s work as Chairman of the High Council of Justice, and they said that this decision is taken for the partial interest of the Democratic Party, while the democrats say that the decision, although delayed, defends the dignity of the Parliament that has elected Spahiu for that duty.

“We oppose the establishment of this Commission, a decision that is being taken for investigating the activity of the vice Chairman of the HCJ, which doesn’t unite and neither doesn’t divide us from you, because your goal is clear. You have no interest for Mr. Spahiu’s activity as HCJ vice Chairman, but his political future. You fear that he will take votes away from you, and you can’t be blamed, but you will never be able to preserve those votes by firing people”, declared the Socialist MP, Fatmir Xhafaj.

MP Alibeaj declared that the vice Chairman of the HCJ is not exerting the duty given to him by the Constitution, but is organizing political pilgrimages. Alibeaj believes that the Parliament has the ethical and moral obligation to keep a stance against him.

The division for this matter was reflected on opposition’s decision to not be part of the Commission that will be led by the former Minister of Justice, the Democratic MP, Enkelejd Alibeaj.

Spahiu’s presence in Parliament refused

The vice Chairman of the HCJ asked the Parliament Speaker to be heard in the plenary session, before the Commission is established.

Spahiu says that the Commission of Laws sent him out only 10 minutes after the session had started, without giving him the right to speak.

The second person in charge of the High Council of Justice asked the Parliament Speaker to be heard, with the argument that it is the only way for guaranteeing a regular legal process and most of all, a just one, which has been violated by the Commission of Laws.

Spahiu received a negative answer by the Albanian Parliament. Spahiu suggested the the General Secretary of the Parliament to read the regulation, which doesn’t have any article that prohibits him fro speaking on the plenary session.

The RBA leader declared that the majority MPs are violating the Constitution by not allowing him to defend himself.
