The head of the SP Parliamentary Group, Taulant Balla, spoke about today's meeting of the Council of Mandates and Immunities to lift the immunity of Belinda Balluku, for whom SPAK is seeking her arrest.
Balla: The Assembly has taken the necessary time for this process with full reasons, after including the Constitutional Court. Today's discussion and the questions of the council members have shed light on the essential element, the presumption of innocence. No one is guilty as long as there is no final court decision. The other party did not need to be examined because they had made their decision on the position. In our case, on behalf of the 5 SP deputies, I informed the mandate council that regarding the proposal of the DP group for granting the authorization, we did not agree with the way it was proposed and we will have a discussion and information from my side at the first meeting of the SP parliamentary group. The council does not grant the authorization, but the plenary session does. At the end of this process, once my colleague Ulsi Manja has fully drafted the report on behalf of our 5 deputies, we will have two rapporteurs, Mr. Manja will draft our report while the DP will submit its report.
