The Parliament of Albania started the new session this Monday afternoon. The opposition preferred to boycott the first session and meet in Shkoder, for an extraordinary meeting.
Gramoz Ruci declared in the opening speech that the Albanian political parties need to fight together for the common goal, Albania’s EU integration.
“I invite everyone to keep their power games separate from our common goal for European integration, which will be the unchanged objective of our Parliament”, Ruci declared.
The Democratic Party refused to gather in Tirana, but they met in Shkoder, where the opposition leader, Lulzim Basha, said that criminals have been terrorizing the city for the past six months.
“In less than three months there have been six mafia-style murders, and two persons have been kidnapped. This is the situation in Shkoder. The Prime Minister should be here, rather than making funny comments. He should be reporting about the arresting of the criminals who have been terrorizing Shkodra for the past six months. But Rama cannot be here. He is in Tirana with Cyrbe, Balla and Fatmir Xhafa”, Basha said.
“They appeal us for cooperation, but who are we going to cooperate with? Xhafa’s brother? Taulant Balla, who was part of the Toyota Yaris scandal? He admitted on his own that he had a friendly relation with the Lushnja gang members, sentenced for drug traffic”, Basha said, adding that the real control of our government is in the hands of crime.
