The prolonged personal debate between the Albanian President, Bamir
Topi, and the Parliament Speaker, Jozefina Topalli, was the center of a
debate in Top Channel’s program “Shqip”, where the host Rudina Xhunga
invited the former Minister, Besnik Mustafaj, the analyst Mustafa Nano
and the politician Aleksander Biberaj.
“The danger comes from the excessive appearance of our institution leaders as protagonists. This damages the state institutions and the foundations of democracy, because it puts the political protagonists before the institutions to which they serve. The Albanian spokespersons speak on behalf of their leaders, not of the institutions they represent”, Mustafai declared.
Mr. Nano added that the declaration of Bamir Topi for opening a new right centered party after his mandate as the Albanian President has created fear among the Democratic Party leadership, since this would divide their ruling party and would help the opposition Socialists. But Nano added that the goal of Bamir Topi’s party will be that of reforming the Albanian right wing, rather than helping the opposite left centered front.
Aleksander Biberaj, former Democratic Party MP, also accused the Parliament Speaker of frequently disrespecting state figures, such as Presidents and MPs, saying that it also reflects her education and culture.
