PM Rama Urges Parliament to Vote for Dismissal of President Meta

Prime Minister Edi Rama has emphasized this Wednesday that Parliament must discharge the President of the Republic, Ilir Meta, who according to him has violated the Constitution. 

For PM Rama, Ilir Meta has completely and finally lost all the changes that have been generously given to him repeatedly to return to the rails of moral and legal reason and that Albania can no longer support Ilir Meta.

"Ilir Meta has betrayed the mission of the President of the Republic of Albania. Ilir Meta has humiliated the Constitution of the Republic of Albania. Ilir Meta has demolished the institution of the guarantor of national unity. Ilir Meta has violated the vital border of the separation of powers in our parliamentary democracy. Ilir Meta has shamed Albania and the Albanian people in a very special relationship with the USA. 

Ilir Meta has scratched the face of the Albanian state in relation to the representations of the international democratic community in Albania. Ilir Meta has completely and finally lost all the chances that have been generously given to him repeatedly to return to the rails of moral and legal reason. Albania can no longer support Ilir Meta.

Therefore, this parliament must exercise without hesitation the will of more than 90% of the Albanian people to dismiss Ilir Meta from office. Sorry for our former friend Ilir, but today's Meta can never have the high status given to him by parliament. Ilir Meta has finished work with the role he took from the parliament and the words about him as president are over. Now let the parliament speak with a vote", said Rama.
