The session for the election of Albulena Haxhiu as parliamentary speaker is

The Vetevendosje Movement has called for a political agreement to be reached for the election of the Speaker of the Parliament, writes A2 CNN. The elected MP, also the deputy chairman of the LVV, Glauk Konjufca, said that they are once again proposing MP Albulena Haxhiu for the Speaker of the Parliament. However, since she did not receive the votes in the previous session, he said that her election without a political agreement should not be put to a vote again.

After this, the chairman of the session, Avni Dehari, adjourned today's session and it was decided that the session would continue on Wednesday at 10:00.

VV representative Glauk Konjufca has not proposed a candidate for Speaker of the Assembly from the ranks of this party because they do not have enough votes. Konjufca requested additional time, saying that this situation cannot be resolved except with a political agreement.

"VV, undoubtedly has the same name, Albulena Haxhiu as the proposed one. Since we have seen that all political entities had already announced yesterday that they will have the same position, I think that in this political situation it cannot be resolved except with a political agreement... Without the creation of a majority here in the Assembly for the Speaker of the Assembly, the Assembly itself will not be able to be established. The same logic applies to the deputy speakers... Then we, Mr. Speaker, request additional time so that the same situation that we had three times in a row in the Assembly does not repeat itself", said Konjufca.

Acting Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, on behalf of the Vetëvendosje Movement, accused the opposition of blocking the constitution of the Assembly. He said that all subjects should vote for the VV proposal for the Speaker of the Assembly. Murati said that Albulena Haxhiu is the name proposed by Vetëvendosje and added that they cannot become part of the games for the proposed names. Murati said that he hopes that the opposition will reflect and vote for the Speaker of the Assembly. He said that he aims to avoid elections, but also for this issue the Assembly should be constituted.

PDK Chairman Memli Krasniqi stated that the Vetevendosje Movement should change its candidate for Speaker of the Parliament as they have 47 other MPs since Albulena Haxhiu will not pass. He said that Haxhiu is a symbol of the failure of Albin Kurti's Government. He said there is no need for a political agreement to elect the Speaker of the Parliament. Krasniqi added that the Parliament cannot be held hostage because of Albulena Haxhiu.

Hykmete Bajrami from LDK said that Vetëvendosje's request for additional time for a political agreement when they say they will not change the candidate's name and insist that it is their right does not show a willingness for a possible political agreement. She added that LDK does not have a vote "for" either Albulena Haxhiu or any other candidate from VV for parliamentary speaker. She said that LDK is not asking for any other name and that any possible invitation from VV will be decided by the party structures. Bajrami accused VV of blocking the constitution. (A2 Televizion)
