The clash in parliament has moved from tension in the chamber to an official request for political punishment. The Socialist Party is seeking the expulsion of 20 Democratic Party MPs, holding them responsible for blocking the lectern and for the incidents that accompanied the plenary session of October 22, 2026.
The Socialist Party request for 60-day and 10-day expulsions
According to the request filed by Socialist MPs, a 60-day expulsion is being sought for Flamur Noka, Belind Këlliçi, Fidel Kreka, Luçiano Boçi, Edi Paloka and Besart Xhaferri.
The majority is also seeking a 10-day expulsion for 14 other opposition MPs: Gjin Gjoni, Bardh Spahia, Albana Vokshi, Elda Hoti, Xhelal Mziu, Gent Strazimiri, Enno Bozdo, Kastriot Piroli, Kliti Hoti, Flamur Hoxha, Arjan Ndoja, Ivi Kaso, Zija Ismaili and Blendi Himçi.
What is claimed in the majority’s document
In the majority’s official version, the incidents began at the very start of the session, during the reading of the agenda. The Socialist Party claims that MP Flamur Noka approached the lectern, struck it, damaged the microphone and used insulting language toward those chairing the session.
The same request says the actions were also supported by other opposition MPs. According to the Socialist Party, during the vote on the parliament’s calendar and program, Belind Këlliçi took an opposing position on behalf of the Democratic Party group while the lectern was blocked.
Allegations of physical attack and damage to equipment
The majority also claims that Këlliçi did not leave the lectern, but tore out the equipment and continued striking it. It goes on to say that Flamur Noka physically attacked Socialist Party MPs with water bottles when Taulant Balla began to speak.
The document also mentions MPs Ervin Hoxha, Arkend Balla, Fadil Nasufi, Agron Malaj and Bujar Rexha as people who, according to the Socialist Party, were attacked and insulted during the voting process. The majority says these claims are supported by filmed footage and videos attached to the request.
Blockage of the lectern turns into a disciplinary battle
As for the 14 other opposition MPs, the Socialist Party claims they took part in blocking the lectern and obstructed the normal conduct of the plenary session. In its argument, the majority describes this behavior as a serious violation of parliamentary ethics and discipline.
Beyond the harsh language used in the request, the matter now moves to parliament’s internal mechanisms, where the majority is seeking to turn a political clash into a formal sanction against the opposition.
The Socialist Party’s request places at the center not only the behavior of MPs in the chamber, but also the way disciplinary procedures are used in a heated political climate.
At this stage, the accusations remain part of the version presented by the majority in parliament.
