The mandate of Xhaçka/DP requested an urgent meeting, Spiropali calls the Council of Legislation

A day ago, the Democratic Party requested an emergency meeting of the Assembly in an extraordinary session regarding the decision of the Constitutional Court on the mandate of Olta Xhaçka.

Meanwhile, today, the meeting of the Council of Legislation is officially announced, where the request of the democratic parliamentary group will be examined.

The meeting of the Council of Legislation will be held on August 27, at 11:00.

In a statement of the Parliamentary Group, it is said that protection from justice is being granted to an associate of Edi Rama. The request for the meeting of the Assembly was signed by 29 DP deputies.

" Due to the constitutional crisis created by the Assembly, the violation of the foundations of the democratic state that has called into question the very role and function of the Constitutional Court, but also the protracted delay of more than 2 years of this issue, which has caused delays that bring the examination to the time limits of the possibility for evaluation by the Constitutional Court, in the public statement of July 10, 2024 of the President of the Constitutional Court, but also in paragraph 65 of decision no. 55/2024 of the Constitutional Court, the immediate and priority consideration of this matter by the Assembly is required." - says the official request signed by the head of the PD parliamentary group Gazment Bardhi and 28 opposition MPs.

In the request, it is emphasized that the meeting of the Assembly in an extraordinary session, when requested by one of the constitutional subjects that are expressly mentioned in Article 74, point 2 of the Constitution, is mandatory for the Speaker of the Assembly, who has only one responsibility to set the date of the session within the period "3 days from the submission of the request".

The opposition MPs emphasize that it is unacceptable the political protection and obstruction of justice that the majority is doing in the case of the former minister and MP Olta Xhaçka, ignoring the Constitution and preventing the implementation of two decisions of the Constitutional Court.

 "We strongly condemn the standard "one justice for Edi Rama and another justice for all others". In every democratic country, the implementation of the decisions of the Constitutional Court is mandatory and the foundation on which a legal state is built." - said in the letter of the opposition MPs addressed to the Speaker of the Assembly Elisa Spiropali.
