Today's parliamentary session, where five heads of independent institutions are scheduled to report and the debate has been agreed to last over 12 hours, is again in danger of being disrupted.
The reason is the procedure that will be followed for the debate on each report of independent institutions.
The Speaker of the Assembly, Niko Peleshi, said that based on the manual for reporting institutions to the Assembly, MPs should submit questions before the start of the session and then, during the reporting, the head of the independent institution reads the question and provides the answer.
According to Pelesh, this is a practice followed since 2016, but not implemented in the last two years.
The leader of the SP group, Taulant Balla, was also on the same line.
"There is a rule, questions are filed before the session. Even when you want to ask the prime minister questions, the questions are filed before and the prime minister reads the question that the deputy has given him. You have 5 hours to speak, maybe he (Berisha) there doesn't want you to speak. It's his job," said Balla.
But according to the opposition, this is an attempt to silence the opposition and disrupt the parliamentary session.
"This is a mockery of the regulations and the Constitution and the right to speech, but also a mockery of the leaders of justice institutions, because they are neither spokespersons nor secretaries of the deputies. Why do you want to take away the right to ask questions from the deputies?" said Belind Këlliçi.
For the Socialists, the fact that opposition MPs want to ask questions in the session is a trial they want to put to independent institutions.
"Oral questions put the prosecutor in difficulty and put pressure on him," said Toni Gogu.
Meanwhile, for Sali Berisha, both the leaders of independent institutions and the majority MPs are sinners and have agreed not to allow MPs' questions.
