The head of the DP Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, has sent a letter to the Speaker of the Assembly, Elisa Spiropali, regarding the conviction by the Court of Appeal of the democratic deputy, Ervin Salianji.

Subject: Request for an urgent meeting of the Council on Regulation, Mandates and Immunity

Directed by: Mrs. Elisa SPIROPALI

Ms. President of the Assembly,

With an act of political revenge, the Court of Appeal of General Jurisdiction, with a decision dated September 26, 2024, has ordered the imprisonment of a member of the Parliament of Albania, an official of the opposition, colleague Ervin Salianji, for an uncommitted crime and for a cases fabricated by certain segments of the State Police and the Prosecutor's Office. This political act, which violates the foundations of the democratic state, affects the integrity of the Assembly of Albania and violates the mandate of an opposition deputy.

Yes, in an extra legal procedure, without the authorization of the Assembly, with an inexplicable haste, the Prosecutor's Office is following the procedure for the arrest of the opposition deputy. According to Article 73, point 2, "The MP cannot be arrested or deprived of his freedom in any form, or subject to a personal or home search, without the AUTHORIZATION of the Assembly". These actions of the justice bodies, which violate the basic principles of the rule of law, have created an alarming situation of political attack on the opposition. The punishment without law and proof of the opposition deputies, disregarding the authority of the Assembly of Albania, flagrantly violating the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, not justifying the repressive measures against the opposition deputies, is an unprecedented act in a democratic state.

For this reason, in accordance with article 73, point 2 of the Constitution, and article 13 of the Regulation, we request the urgent meeting of the Council for Regulation, Mandates and Immunity, to restore the authority of the Assembly of Albania, the restraint of political acts against the deputies of the Assembly of Albania, and the restoration of constitutionality.
