Democrat Harshly Criticizes Govt for Holding Online Foreign Com. Meeting
Member of Parliament for the Democratic Party (DP), Tomor Alizoti accused Tuesday Prime Minister Edi Rama of fearing confrontation and stressed that Albania lacks parliamentary life at a time when all of the country is open, when the cafes are full, when the concerts from the Slavic world come and sing here.
This statement by Alizoti came after the Democrat MPs as in any other committee, have physically gone to attend the one on Foreign Policy, but found the hall empty when they entered the heaship of the Assembly.
According to the DP, the Chairwoman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, MP, Mimi Kodheli is leading the commission from her office and is hiding from the opposition.
“It is absurd that the Foreign Affairs Committee, in the most important point of the Albanian Nation, where Serbian tanks are on the border, where today is Vonderline's visit, in the critical situation of foreign policy, the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Policy meets online, that is, collects via phones, collects via selfie.
When all of Albania is open, when the cafes are full, when the concerts from the Slavic world come and sing in Albania, with thousands of people who also consume alcohol, Albania today and the Albanian nation that has a great challenge, where it has left Kosovo alone , where only Open Balkan is discussed, for the influences of Serbia, when the Russian influences are close to the Balkans, the Foreign commission is online. It's with phones.
We were physically and we did not have the opportunity to communicate with each other, to communicate with our colleagues, to understand the challenges of foreign policy, the challenges of this country, it is absurd, it is shameful that this Parliamentary Republic has no parliamentary feature.
This state has turned into a puppet theater. It is bad for the country, I feel very worried together with my colleagues that we do not have the opportunity to defend the interests of our country, the interests of Albania, the interests of the opposition. But the fact that the prime minister, the 'icon of Albanian fashion, is afraid of confrontation, is terrible for this country. I feel very sad that we do not have a parliamentary lifeâ€, stated Alizoti.
