The deputy of the Socialist Party, Damian Gjiknuri, says that the Anticorruption Commission established by the majority is a consultation forum and not an instrument to fight corruption.
"The Anticorruption Commission is not going to give a solution. It is more of a consultative forum, because the responsibility for the anti-corruption policies lies mainly with the executive, it belongs to the government. The government is recognized as a partner by the European Commission. And the commission's role here can be an inter-party advisory role, as others have pointed out, and with the involvement of many experts, perhaps outside of the government's purview," said Gjiknuri in "Off the Record" with Andrea Danglili on A2 CNN.
"But not that it is the commission that will provide solutions for the fight against corruption, but it will be a necessary forum to compare the government's policies and the commitments made, with what society expects in general, because the Parliament is supposed which is representative of the wider interests, rather than just the narrow interests of the executive", he added.
Asked how he personally feels about the representatives of the majority who are under investigation or have been sentenced by the new justice system, Gjiknuri answered: "Of course, I am not happy when I see colleagues, but also politicians, that can be exposed in front of these measures, when it deserves it. But on the other hand, we have to say one thing, we fought for this system. The SP has a merit for pushing forward the justice reform, so that politicians no longer have that absolute immunity of impunity. However, we have to wait for the final decisions of the courts. Strengthening independent courts will make the system more reliable." (A2 Televizion)
