The head of the group of the Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi, has accused the speaker of the Assembly, Lindita Nikolla, according to which he will "armour" the parliament on Monday, when the next parliamentary session is expected to be held.
Bardhi says that the Guard of the Republic has been ordered to surround the hall of plenary sessions and the opposition deputies.
For Bardhi, this is an indication of an autocratic state of Edi Rama.
"Today we are aware of the illegal order of Lindita Nikolla to surround the hall of plenary sessions on Monday with the special forces of the Republic Guard, thus officially declaring the autocratic personal state of Edi Rama. As can be seen in the attached photo, the Guard of the Republic has been ordered to "rehearse" today how they will surround the opposition MPs during Monday's plenary session!
By strongly condemning this degradation of Edi Rama's regime, we want to ensure that there is no guard and policeman who can hinder and intimidate the opposition in the mission to restore parliamentarism and protect the constitutional rights of the opposition. A Parliament, where deputies are surrounded by security forces during their decision-making, can never be the Parliament of a democratic country, a member of NATO and a candidate country for the EU. It is an unprecedented act in 32 years of democracy, the transformation of the Assembly hall from the hall of citizens' representatives to the hall of government guards. This Parliament is the shame of Albania, just like the corrupt government of Edi Rama", writes Bardhi.
This comes after the opposition warned of a boycott because they were denied 8 Commissions of Inquiry. (A2 Televizion)
