January 21st, debates in Parliament

The opposition insisted that the January 21st protest, which left four demonstrators killed, had no intention to take over the government through violence, while the democrats keep insisting with their request to investigate the Socialist leader, Edi Rama, as organizer of the violence against the constitutional order.

The Socialist MP, Erion Brace: There were no attempts for damaging the constitutional order on January 21st, and the proof for this is very clear. (To the Speaker) You was in your office,  surrounded with armed people, and no one knocked on your door. The other gentleman, the Prime Minister, had the Prime Minister’s Office full of people, and they turned their backs. They never tried to go at his office. And because they did exactly this, he ordered the killing of four people. The entire hierarchic chain of the National Guard depends from the Interior Minister, Lulzim Basha. Here’s the law, your law.

Topalli: Absolutely. And its implementation is the honor of this country…

Brace: He ordered to kill four people…

Topalli: …the law implementation is the honor of those who made their duty.

Brace: Four people have been killed by Berisha, Lulzim Basha and any other people.

Topalli: I, you, and everyone know that it was planned and organized for surrounding the Prime Minister’s Office for five hours. The organizers and the executers will answer first. The first is Edi Rama.

This harsh rhetoric is expected to the sprit that will prevail in the Friday’s meeting for the Council of Immunities, where three Socialist MPs, Tom Doshi, Taulant Balla and Besnik Baraj will be heard with a request of the Prosecutor General, Ina Rama, for removing their immunities.
