Government representatives have given inaccurate evidence to the
Constitutional Court, when they declared that the budget for the next
year would approve the fund for the construction of the new
Parliamentary Complex.
The Socialist MP, Taulant Balla, sent a letter to the Chairman of the Constitutional Court, Bashkim Dedja. Balla says in the letter that the government representatives have declared that the Budget 2012 would foresee the necessary funds for the construction of the new Parliament, and as consequence, the repeal of the articles contested in the law would block this investment. But on 5 December 2011, the Parliament passed the new budget of 2012, in which the government has not allocated the funds for the construction of the new Parliament Building. During the discussions in the Plenary Session, the Parliament did not demand the allocation of these funds.
Taulant Balla, one of the 28 MPs who initiated this demand at the Constitutional Court, considers the declarations of the government representatives as inaccurate.
“On this base, we are obliged to confirm that the government representatives have not given accurate data for the court, while the prediction of these funds makes it impossible the construction of the building in question and the demolition of the existing one”, the letter says.
Together with this letter, the Chairman of the Constitutional Court received a detailed copy of the Budget 2012, where the Parliament has not given any fund for the construction of the new Parliamentary Complex.
