DP takes protest to Parliament: Four demands and motion for debate on the 26th

On the 26th day of massive protests taking place in front of the Prime Minister's Office, the opposition has taken an institutional step by submitting four urgent requests and a motion for debate to the Parliament. The move comes as an attempt to channel the concerns of citizens who have been protesting in the square for weeks into the parliamentary hall.

Democratic Party MP Belind Këlliçi, in a statement to the media, stated that the filed initiatives are related to issues that the opposition considers problematic and have a direct impact on the public interest. According to him, they also reflect the demands of the protesters who continue the daily rallies in front of the Prime Minister's office.

Among the main demands are the repeal of the law on strategic investors, the revision of the law on protected areas, and the return to debate of the law on cultural heritage and the so-called “mountain package.” The opposition describes these initiatives as controversial and linked to the political interests of the majority.

Këlliçi emphasized that the goal is not the formal representation of the protest, but the institutional reflection on the concerns of citizens. He added that these issues should be debated in the Assembly, as part of the normal functioning of parliamentary democracy.

According to him, the requests filed two weeks ago in the Assembly aim to open a broad political debate on issues that the opposition considers essential for the country, including the request for the removal of the Rama government.

"We, listening to the demands of the protesters who have already entered the 26th day, reflecting the concerns of the citizens, the vast majority of Albanian society who support the protest, but also of those hundreds of thousands of protesters who have been protesting every day in front of the Prime Minister's office for over three weeks, two weeks ago we filed four demands in the parliament, including the motion for debate, which are in full harmony with the demands of the protesters and this does not make us spokespersons of the protest, but of course we live with the concerns of the Albanian citizens.

We think that in the Assembly of the Republic of Albania, in the parliament hall, there will have to be debate, there will have to be discussion on issues that have to do with the sensitivity of the day, with the problems of the citizens, with the concerns of the Albanian citizens and of course issues that we have in fact singled out and we also have our causes, such as the issue of repealing the law on strategic investors, or the law on amending protected areas, which paved the way for the destruction of protected areas and construction in these areas, which we have debated vigorously for two years, we have even taken to the constitutional court, or the law on cultural heritage, or the mountains package that we have voted against and we have debated with our reasoning and our logic and in the assembly hall, why this is a mainly personal and corruptive and political initiative of Edi Rama. These four positions are accompanied here by the fifth, which is the departure of the Rama government.

"We submitted these four requests to the parliament two weeks ago to make it possible to debate them in the parliament hall ," said Këlliçi.
