'Venecia's' opinion on Xhaçkas, Zhupa: Did you swear on the Constitution, or on the head of Edi Rama?
Democratic MP Ina Zhupa, at the meeting of the Conference of Speakers, brought to attention the opinion of the Venice Commission on the mandate of MP Olta Xhaçka.
Zhupa addressed the Speaker of the Parliament, Elisa Spiropali, telling her that he has invested in the Venice Commission so that it will not subsequently implement what this commission says.
" This conference of mayors should have had as its first point your apology for the two-year vacillation to protect Edi Rama with Olta Xhacka's mandate. "
The Venice Commission clearly confirms the justice of the opposition's battle, saying what every lawyer knew, that the implementation of the Court's decisions is non-negotiable and cannot depend on the political will of a majority.
Ms. Spiropali, you invested in the Venice Commission so that you would not implement what the Venice Commission says, and you spoke as if you had read a Martian language.
With your logic, you are above the Constitution, with your logic, the MP is above the Constitution and the decisions of the Constitutional Court, and not the other way around.
With this constitutional coup you put an end to the rule of law and legitimize that we are in a dictatorship. Tomorrow the constitutional court decides that a law is unconstitutional, with your logic you can vote for it just like you don't ask. With this standard, no majority MP can ever have their mandate removed, because they are protected by political votes. You can become a strategic investor, you can take public property, tenders. Today Olta, tomorrow anyone.
Did you swear on the Constitution, or did you swear on the head of Edi Rama?
"I regret that Ms. Bushka is burning her diploma by saying that the decisions of the constitutional court are not binding on the assembly," she said.
Among other things, the Democratic MP, on behalf of the DP Group, requested that the report be put to a vote in Thursday's session, so that it could then be sent to the Constitutional Court.
"On behalf of the group, I ask that you not hold the assembly hostage to clientelistic interests, that you submit the report for a vote on Thursday and send it immediately to the Constitutional Court tomorrow," said Zhupa.
