Bardhi: Edi Rama has "set fire" to Albania. Here are 4 priorities of the DP.
The chairman of the DP Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, said that Prime Minister Edi Rama, with his affairs, has set Albania "on fire", impoverishing and depopulating it.
In the speech held in the Assembly, at the start of the new session, he listed four priorities of the Democratic Party: electoral reform, the increase of the minimum pension to 300 euros, the law on setting the minimum living wage and support to agriculture.
Full word:
Dear colleagues!
Dear fellow citizens!
Tradition requires that at every start or restart of a job, "good job" is wished. But today is not the case.
Why?
Because the Socialist Party and the government of Edi Rama have transformed this hall into the Parliament of Personal Affairs. He did so because Edi Rama's power is personal. Absolutely. Against the public interest. Today we are only a Parliamentary Republic on paper. The law does not rule here, but the will of one. But he tires in vain with paintings and sculptures. He will never become a statesman, because Edi Rama is not guided by the interests of the country, but by personal interest. The only God he prays to is Personal Power and for that he is ready to do anything.
These 12 years are the clearest indicator that for his personal power, Edi Rama has burned Albania! It has set fire to competition, burned the market economy, burned jobs, desolated Albania from youth and professionals, forcing about 1 million Albanians to flee within 1 decade.
What initiatives has this parliament taken in the interest of the citizens? Zero! Did he lower taxes? No! On the contrary, it has increased them! And he did it barbarically, with violence, with arrogance, undermining the Constitution! These are not words! They are public acts verified by the Constitutional Court recently for the unconstitutional tax on free professions! A battle that we, as the opposition, fought and won, together with the citizens.
This government and this notary parliament of the government have not done any good work so that today we would be able to say "good job".
This session will not be different from the 11 years of Edi Rama's misrule. The will of this majority will not be to do good work, at the service of the citizens, at the service of the public interest.
Practice has shown that the majority in this room has no will to debate laws, initiatives or decisions that benefit the citizens. This majority, this government, has turned the Assembly into a notary of clientelistic laws, of corrupt decisions or in the hall where more than anywhere else, perhaps in competition only with the government meeting hall, the Constitution is violated and violated, the integrity of a handful of people is protected , the government's propaganda is given voice to cover up the affairs.
Unfortunately, in recent years, the Assembly has turned into the body that violates the Constitution the most. And I do not say this for politics, nor as rhetoric. It is a fact. Only in the last session, the Constitutional Court caught this Assembly in flagrante delicto, in violation of the Constitution, more than 5 times. (Law on Medical Students, Free Professions Tax, Law on Investigative Commissions, Assembly Regulations, Xhaçka's Mandate).
What does this mean?! Deviance and ignorance of the majority? No, because the opposition has warned all the initiatives that were unconstitutional. But her warning has fallen on deaf ears. And this is not just about the arrogance from the long stay in power that has gripped the majority. This has to do above all with the mentality that this majority has in relation to the rule of law, in relation to democratic norms, in relation to citizens or even in relation to the rights and freedoms of the opposition.
We remember the entire months-long battle of the opposition! For what? Just out of respect…
