The majority and the opposition clashed violently in the Assembly on Thursday, mainly over the arrest of Mayor Erion Veliaj. The situation degenerated into physical confrontation in two episodes, one when Flamur Noka threw a guard to the ground and threw a bottle at Taulant Balla, and the other when Petrit Doda appeared to remove his belt to hit the socialists.
In fact, Doda had snatched the microphone from the podium, attempting to hit the ministers sitting in the hall, such as Taulant Balla and others.
When asked about this episode, he explained why he felt outraged, and even took off his belt live in the studio and placed it on the table during the entire conversation. "Minister Manja, I'm sorry that he's also from Dibrani, he said that you're stupid," Doda said. "I was offended first of all because a minister said it, and a Dibrani from me... That was the reason. We were in a very calm situation. We were also waiting to pass the electoral code...".
Asked why he pulled the microphone, he replied: "Not to pull the microphone... It is a very, very difficult moment for us who are in Parliament. The other person also makes a fool of you. Not only does he steal, blackmail, but he also makes a fool of you in the middle of Parliament. I express my revolt... He deserves it differently, but that's enough for today. The people did not vote for us to make trouble and fuss. We did not go there to fight." (A2 Televizion)
