Parliament passes resolution against presidential decree cancelling election

The Albanian Parliament approved on Thursday with 100 votes in favor, seven against and two abstentions a resolution dispelling as unconstitutional, beyond the President’s authority, and “absolutely invalid” the presidential decree canceling the date of the local government elections.

Newspapers noted that 55 MPs – among them some new opposition MPs too – had signed on Thursday evening a request to launch the procedures for the President’s removal from office that will be deposited today in the Assembly.

In remarks delivered during the five-hour-long debate before the resolution was passed, Prime Minister Edi Rama listed the ways in which the President had overstepped his competences in canceling the election date and why he deserved to be removed from office. Rama said that Meta had invented a legal remedy previously unknown by un-decreeing the local elections’ date.

According to him, Meta was acting in tandem with Sali Berisha, in order to thwart the justice system reform and Albania’s further progress on its European Union accession path. The Socialist Party MPs supported Rama’s arguments, saying that the local government elections would be held on 30 June 2019.
