"The truth of the control of SPAK", Nikolla: the institutions will
The Speaker of the Parliament, Lindita Nikolla

The Speaker of the Assembly, Lindita Nikolla, clarified the role of the Assembly in relation to the institutions of new justice, rejecting the claims that the majority wants to control SPAK.

In an interview given to the director of Information of Top Channel, Robert Rakipllari, Nikola called on the opposition and the majority to reflect after 3 months of blocking the parliamentary sessions. She said that the opposition has a chance to restore the demands for investigative commissions after the entry into force of the new law.

The head of parliament also underlined that the Parliament is not in crisis and that all this anomaly created in the plenary sessions by the democratic deputies has come as a result of the impasse in which the Democratic Party is.

Full interview:

Rakipllari: Lady Speaker of the Parliament! The Albanian parliament since the beginning of October 2023 and until now continues in a prolonged crisis, let's say, one of the most serious of these 33 years. So the parliamentary sessions do not take place, there are whistles, noisemakers, exceptions, etc. Why did this crisis happen in your opinion and that it continues?

Nikolla: I would like to say that it has not turned into a parliamentary crisis, because a parliamentary crisis would mean that the Assembly of Albania does not function and does not exercise its constitutional duty to make decisions, we are not in these conditions. We are definitely in a situation where the normality, the development of the parliamentary sessions is not in accordance with the regulation of the Assembly, where the members of the opposition violate the regulation and the Code of Ethics. And where, let's say healthy political debate for the adoption of draft laws is excluded. Let me tell you that since the start of this legislature and until the moment we speak, there has been a deep crisis in the Democratic Party - since September 2021, which is being outlined and is trying to be posed as a parliamentary crisis. It is an internal crisis of the Democratic Party. The opposition has every right to use every democratic and constitutional means to exercise its functions, but in no way to bring the street to Parliament, or the alley to Parliament, or to block the work of other deputies who do not think the same as them. So even as far as the most serious crisis is concerned. The Parliament has also recognized crises in the Parliament. A serious crisis has also been the vacating of mandates in the bloc to the entire opposition. I do not believe that we are in an institutional crisis, but it is still a moment where each of us requires calmness, patience, and prudence to overcome. But above all, it requires courage from the opposition to overcome itself or for the interests of a person and to live up to the expectations of the opposition people who voted for them to be in Parliament, to speak about laws, to speak about problems and concerns of citizens.

Rakipllari: The crisis within the opposition is clear because of the representation of the parties that demand it, but why do you as Parliament and you as the leader of the Parliament leave this thing in abeyance and do not make a decision to determine to whom the head of the group belongs parliamentary or all the institutions that depend on the Assembly?

Nikola: I understood you, I have not left anything pending. In this position, I am the first among equals, I am not even a leader of a political formation, and as such I have no right to decide more than who is the chairman of the parliamentary group of a political party. It is the prerogative of the political parties with their internal rules to set the parliamentary conditions, such as parliamentary group elections, who will be their political leader. And definitely the self-declaration of every deputy in the Parliament of Albania. So that in this sense of both the regulation of the Assembly and the constitution, the ball is not in the court of the President of the Assembly. The ball is in the court of the democratic party, they are in conflict. They have addressed the court. They have to resolve this deadlock with their internal rules and then the President of the Assembly has the obligation to notify the Assembly and all other structures.

Rakipllari: Komisionet hetimore parlamentare domethënë në traditën e tij Parlamenti, kanë qenë një e drejtë e opozitës dhe pavarësisht debateve që ka pasur për to përgjithësisht janë dhënë. Dhe opozita këtu e ka ushtruar të drejtën e komisioneve parlamentare. Pse përgjatë këtij sesioni, duke filluar që nga vjet, këto komisione parlamentare nuk jepen, pra janë tetë komisione të rrëzuar parlamentare dhe në qoftë se opozita nuk mund të bëj dot detyrën e vetë për kontrollin e institucioneve të qeverisë apo të institucioneve te tjera që varen nga Parlamenti për çfarë është opozita këtu?

Nikolla: Pyetja juaj është e drejtë. Në fakt ka patur një komision Hetimor nga opozita, unë dua të them edhe në përgjigje të kësaj pyetjeje, që drejtuesi i Kuvendit nuk është drejtuesi i asnjë grupimi politik apo force politike në Kuvend. Ai është drejtuesi i institucionit dhe seancave plenare, si i tillë kujdeset që të krijojë të gjitha kushtet administrative dhe infrastrukturore, dhe procedurat e rregullores së Kuvendit, në mënyrë që të gjithë deputetët të kenë mundësi të ushtrojnë detyrat e tyre kushtetuese. Dhe në këtë kuptim është detyrë patjetër. Kryetarja e Kuvendit nuk ka vendimmarrje politike për t’u shprehur, dhe në këtë kuptim, janë grupet parlamentare ato, forcat politike, të cilat lexojnë kushtetutën dhe vendimet e Gjykatës Kushtetuese, gjykojnë mbi këto vendime dhe marrin vendimet e tyre. Ndërkohë që një gjë e tillë është bërë, është publikuar edhe nga mazhoranca se kush janë arsyet se pse kanë çuar më votimin: Jo. Ndërkohë opozita nuk ka zgjedhur rrugën t’i drejtohej institucioneve, Gjykatës Kushtetuese përshembull. Por ka zgjedhur rrugën e bllokimit të gjithë atyre, veprimtarisë së Kuvendit dhe debatit në Kuvendin e Shqipërisë. Edhe pse lexojnë të njëjtën kushtetutë dhe vendime të Gjykatës Kushtetuese. Në momentin që flasim ne kemi një ligj të ri për komisionet hetimore që ka të pasqyruar edhe vendimet e Gjykatës Kushtetuese. Dhe besoj ndoshta është një moment reflektimi për të vijuar më tej me komisionet hetimore nga ana e opozitës.

Rakipllari: Opozita i kërkon komisionet hetimore nisur nga e drejta e saj kushtetuese, që 1/4 e deputetëve mund të ngrenë një…automatikisht një komision hetimor. Dhe nga kjo pikëpamje ajo kërkon të drejtën e saj. Nga ana tjetër ju thatë që është interpretim i kushtetutës apo i vendimit të Gjykatës Kushtetuese por përgjigja nga ana e mazhorancës përveç përjashtimit, përveç mosdhënies të së drejtës të komisioneve hetimore ka qenë dhe dënimi apo ndëshkimi i deputetëve të opozitës. Herën e fundit u ndëshkuan 19 deputet të opozitës. Kjo do të jete dhe përgjigja? Nuk do të ketë një rrugëzgjidhje tjetër? Ju si kryetare e kuvendit, ndërmerrni një…që si të themi…që t’i jepni rolit tuaj diçka më tepër për ta zgjidhur këtë krizë?

Nikolla: Undoubtedly... So far, I have tried my best both in the hall and outside the hall to offer prudence, communication, to offer citizenship and ethics. And...I did not respond in the same currency as it usually happens in plenary sessions, labels to...and insults to the Speaker of the Assembly. I made all the efforts with meetings... the door of the Speaker of the Assembly is an open door for all political groups, for every individual member of parliament. And in this perspective, everyone should definitely make efforts, but the rules of the Assembly cannot be passed easily. When we have those sad scenes in the Parliament of Albania, where fire is set, flares, whistles, insults and so on, definitely in these conditions the rules of the Assembly will act as it did with the rising... at the request of a group of deputies and with the decision-making of the committee's secretariat for procedures, regulation and ethics.

Rakipllari: Do you see a solution or will the parliament continue to have this anomaly that you are calling?

Nikolla: I believe there will definitely be a moment of reflection by the opposition to understand that this is not the solution. This path they have followed has not led them anywhere

Rakipllari: Do you expect a reflection from the majority?

Nikolla: The majority definitely requires reflection for all parties, but the majority has...said its objections and has done its duties as far as the arguments given to the investigative commissions are concerned, and in the future it is on top of the task to learn the functioning of the parliamentary committees and the session...however, there is room for everyone to reflect.

Rakipllari: The parliament or the SP parliamentary group has taken an initiative to give the assembly a new monitoring or controlling role, as you consider it, in relation to independent institutions. And the institutions of new justice are included here. What is the truth here and where does it consist?

Nikolla: I could say that... all this is a story made up in the media. There is no truth to the change in the role of the assembly from...that originates from any communication within the parliament. The role of parliament, this...this discussion; the constitution concluded by establishing the role of the Parliament in a parliamentary republic as the most important institution where the will of the people that represents and sovereignty is directly developed and in this perspective it is undoubtedly Article 80 of the Constitution of the Assembly point 3, where the institutions of others have the obligation to inform and report on certain issues when requested in the Assembly. And all this interaction operates in accordance with the principle expressed in Article 7 of the constitution "check and balance", so there is neither nor can there be a nosebleed, I would say this in the internal affairs of institutions independent from the assembly of Albania.
