Decriminalization, Balla: Commission, without mandate for constitutional amends

The Socialist MP,
Taulant Balla, said that the commission’s mandate to review these amends
has expired. Balla also said that the project of the DP for
decriminalization goes against the Venice Commission.

But the
opposition Parliament Members have opposed the Socialist member of the
commission, saying that the commission’s work will continue as agreed in
the agreement of the last December.

“This will continue as
agreed, even with international partners. We will look for a final
solution with compromise, based on the Venice Commission and the
Strasbourg expertise. The proposition of the DP is based on the Severino
model, and it is based on the report that was approved by the
Commission of Venice. It would be serious to sit and continue our work”,
declared the Head of the Commission, Oerd Bylykbashi.

Eduard
Halimi, from the DP, accused the SP of not being serious with the
decriminalization process. He said that there is no need of a new law to
remove criminals from the government, when the package can be approved
in the committee and then go to the Parliament.

The MP of the
Socialist Movement for Integration, Spartak Braho, referred to the draft
law of the government, introduced by Minister Ermonela Felaj, and said
that this government draft should be handed over to this commission. He
said that the Special Commission cannot make a law for decriminalization
without having constitutional amends.
