The parliamentary opposition has boycotted the meeting of the Law Commission where the draft law on the Electoral Code was being discussed article by article on Wednesday. This fact has been confirmed by MP Rudina Hajdari, who a little earlier invited her colleagues to boycott the table.
According to Hajdari, the meeting was abandoned because the majority does not have the positive will to carry out a major reform which can have the support of the majority of Albanians. She said the opposition will not become part of this ugly game.
“I decided to boycott today’s session because we do not see a positive will on the part of the majority to carry out that major reform for which we enjoy today the support of the majority of Albanians, that is the real full opening of the electoral lists,” Hajdari said, warning that if the majority continues on this path, coming up with drafts which do not aim at opening the lists but at deceiving the Albanians, the opposition will not become part of this ugly game. “Let them do it alone!”
Further on the Democrat MP said she knew that many citizens are probably tired of this debate, and this is probably the purpose of the old political elite- to exhaust the citizens excessively and then do what they have always done, to lie. “But what we are doing is very important not for today, but for the next 30 years. We need to restore democracy to this country as a means to increase welfare and develop the economy. We do not give up,” said Hajdari, who has become prominent with her harsh criticism of PM Edi Rama, who is also SP chairman.
In the meantime in another development President Ilir Meta said in a post on FB on Wednesday that when the electoral fever and the crazy plans to capture votes with the dirtiest pressures have started prematurely, the economic situation in Albania is marking an unstoppable regression.
The escalation of the political crisis in these conditions becomes even more threatening for the stability of the country and increases the insecurity for the citizens, the enterprises and the investors. /argumentum.al
