Paloka: “DP will boycott Parliament until the end”

“We don’t make arithmetic calculations. Our decision to leave the Parliament is political and we cannot stay and wait for the date when the mandate will expire. Rama and Meta should make these calculations. We have taken a political decision and we will stand to it until the end”, declared the Head of the Parliamentary Group at the Democratic Party, Edi Paloka.

Paloka is very clear in what they mean with “until the end”.

“If we will not have an agreement, under international monitoring, for this government to respect the law and the Constitution, then we have nothing to do with that Parliament”, Paloka declared.

In the past three weeks, the majority has approved two of the opposition’s requests: the implementation of the Constitutional Court decisions, with the establishing of the Investigative Commission, and the parliamentary regulation amends for the opposition’s right to speech right after the Prime Minister has spoken. But for the opposition, these actions are delayed and not taking the rule of law seriously.

“The Constitution is not there for Rama and Meta to implement it when they feel like it. This should have been done long ago, and the situation today doesn’t allow for anything to be fixed with this falsity”, Paloka declared.

But even the Democratic Party is having mood changes.

Top Channel: Are you aware that some MPs from the Democratic Party might want to break the political decision of the opposition?

Edi Paloka: I am talking about political decisions, and that Democratic Party functions based on them. Then each one can decide for himself. If one thinks that they received the mandate on their own, not because the Democratic Party, then they should go to Parliament.

It still remains to be seen, but it seems that for now, protests and not the parliament are a solution for the Democratic Party.

“Those seats were given by the people not so that we could play a false game of government. We work with the people and certainly that protests will be the only solution against a government and a Prime Minister who know no other word than prison for everything. This is Rama, and with a man like this you can deal only through protests”, Paloka declared.
