Socialist MP Erion Braçe has accused the head of the SP group, Taulant Balla, of ordering the blocking of the amendment that protects the farmer in relation to the trader. He says that Balla also ordered the vote against a small and concrete aid for livestock farmers.
Braçe ironizes Balla by emphasizing that his attitude came after he discovered that he is against the government and the Socialist Party. He calls Balla's order to vote against, an act that reflects ignorance, malice and pride.
In the end, he raises a question about what a deputy should do to protect workers in the agricultural sector. He adds that he should just look for another job.
Erion Brace's post
It's good that you are with the merchants, but what do you have with the farmers?! Since June of this year, I have submitted to the Assembly an amendment to the law which establishes order in the market; guarantees the farmers for the money of their goods. There are millions of euros that the collectors of 6-9-12 months and more do not pay to the farmers; they have bought products from farmers and for so long they have not given them the money! Think of a farmer who has worked from 4-5 months in the shortest cycle, up to 9-12 months in the longest cycle, to have the income from his production, have sold the product and, it has been more than a year since they don't get the money! I have proposed a deadline of 50 days to pay the money to the farmer.
In the law today, we only have a deadline to protect traders, the relationship between them, nothing for the farmer in relation to the trader. Since June, the legal proposal I made has been blocked; 5 weeks ago the proposal was on the calendar to be discussed in the committees of the plenary session; But again it was blocked illegally outside any parliamentary procedure, by the chairman of the parliamentary group of the Socialist Party! Why? Because exactly he has discovered that I am against the government of the Socialist Party and that the law contradicts its policies!!!!!!!
So, without any effect on the state budget, to propose that farmers receive the money for the goods sold to collectors, within 50 days, is it against the government and the Socialist Party?! This is it! On Thursday, he ordered a vote against a small, concrete help for cattle farmers, their work, simply because it was my proposal; an order that reflects ignorance-ignorance, malice, pride, which are heard among those who consider the order an instrument of power, power. It has blocked for months an arrangement that helps and guarantees farmers to receive the money for their work and effort; completely illegally.
At this point I have a question: What should a deputy do to do his job, to protect the workers of the wider sector of the national economy, agriculture? I tell them myself: He must look for another job! Air!
