A change to the agenda in Parliament, requested by the Socialist Party, sparked a clash between the majority and the opposition. According to the official version of the session, discussion of the draft law on SHEB was postponed until Thursday, while the chamber quickly descended into political tension and mutual accusations.
SP postpones discussion of the draft law on SHEB
Parliament approved the change to the agenda following a request made by the Socialist Party, moving discussion of the draft law on SHEB to another session.
The procedural move, although formally approved in the chamber, immediately became the subject of political confrontation, drawing strong reactions from the opposition.
Berisha turns the debate into a political accusation against Peleshi
During the debate, Sali Berisha addressed Niko Peleshi with harsh political accusations, calling him “Edi Rama’s most disgusting vassal” and “an enemy of the Constitution.”
The clash once again showed that procedural decisions in Parliament often turn into direct political conflict, especially when the opposition reads them as one-sided control of the parliamentary agenda by the majority.
Peleshi warns of interruptions and measures for violations of the rules
For his part, Niko Peleshi responded by calling for ethics in communication and warning that speaking time would be interrupted whenever, in his view, the rules are violated.
He said he would take measures against those who use language that, according to him, does not belong in the parliamentary chamber.
The session once again highlighted the heated parliamentary climate
Beyond the latest episode, the clash after the agenda change highlighted the continuing tension between the opposition and the majority in Parliament.
At its core, the debate did not remain only about the procedure for the draft law on SHEB, but turned into another confrontation over how the pace and content of parliamentary proceedings are controlled.
Monday’s parliamentary event shows that even procedural changes, when they come from the majority, continue to be viewed with distrust by the opposition.
As for the discussion of the draft law on SHEB, it now remains to be seen what will happen in Thursday’s session and whether the political tension will ease or deepen further.
