The Red and Black Alliance appealed the government to withdraw from population registration.
During a meeting at the city of Fier, the activists of this movement declared that the government must respect the decision of the Constitutional Court and fulfill the priorities of Albania, not those of Greece.
“The temperature of what they are doing with our minds by selling our sovereignty and integration has reached 100°C. Today, ours is one of the cities where the harmony between communities is one of the most precious symbols, where there is an excellent community of intellectuals from Myzeqe, Kosovo and Chameria, that the government’s forums have rarely seen”, declared that RBA leader, Kreshnik Spahiu.
RBA asked the citizens to rip off the page with the questions for the religion and ethnicity. The population registration will start on October 1st, and for the RBA, this is the black page of that questionnaire.
Nationality, “not at the Census”
The Constitutionalist Adrian Leka explains that the decision of the Constitutional Court for considering as illegal some clauses of the law for the Civil Registrar, which have to do with the nationality notion and the procedures for changing it, will bring changes for all the citizens that have benefited from it until today.
“All changes in the registry of the Civil Registrar will be considered as anti constitutional changes. They will not be considered as legal or regular. These changes have violated the Constitution”, Leka declared.
Leka, a constitutionalist expert, says that this Constitutional decision must reflect to the Census too.
He opposes the declaration of the General Director of the Civil Registrar, Armand Teliti, who said that this decision will not affect the registration procedures. Leka argues that this registration would provide fictive numbers.
“Although the registration will not be made for the national registry, it is a fictive registration, made for pleasing one party or another. All registration processes must be made based on laws, otherwise it is fictive”, Leka underlines.
The Population Registration on ethnic and religious bases has caused debates for the public opinion, since there is expected an increase of the number of citizens who change their nationality in a fictive way.
