The meeting of the Council of Mandates continues amid debates, which is considering the DP's request for the removal of the mandate of Olta Xhaçka, who, according to this political force, is using state property for profitable activities.
The parties in the council have clashed, as PD members insist that Xhaçka has won from the coastal property, but for the socialists, the demand of the democrats is not based on facts and evidence and that it is not true that Xhaçka has won.
Excerpts from the debates:
White:I don't believe that he suffers from eyesight, take note of the sentence, that "deputies cannot carry out any profitable activity from the state's wealth". I read you the decision, which bears Rama's signature, and which transfers the coastal property for use to the minister's husband for 30 years. In this sense, deputy Xhaçka has benefited from 50% of the property. We can't make the property disappear, we can't put it in our pocket, we can't wash it away, even though it is close to sea water. To go further, to avoid how much lek he earned, not the decision no. 7 that you cite, because that decision that was put before him is not related to a specific case, the fact that the MP earned with state property is enough, he is within the prohibition field. In fact, lest Ms. Ferhati laugh, the conflict of interest law is clear. You should have been alarmed at how an MP ignores the law. The minister is categorically prohibited from using state property. The ban is absolute. This is the law, this is the Constitution.
Bushka:I give up the questions, because I understand from the answers that a fictional story will be drawn, which is not within the competence of this council. In this particular case, according to the evidence that you brought, the deputy does not appear to have public property in use, it does not appear that the deputy does any activity on this public property. You cannot do here, and I know you know you are wrong, to refer wrongly to matters other than those for which this council is assembled. Tell me where Mrs. Xhaçka has state wealth and where she earns state wealth? And not only does the Constitution foresee this, but also the decision of the Constitutional Court, that you know very well and that you are not sincere about this request, which you are misinterpreting, which says that "when the deputy himself carries out profitable activities from the property of the state". This is the only decision that would move us. You draw me a map. What is that map? Olta Xhaçka is nowhere to be found in the documents presented by you.
You don't even have the attributes of the Constitution. I laughed, because you Mr. White, you know what I'm saying. You have made this forced request and you make the conflict of interest a big deal, because if you say it like that, I would not laugh, but all the constitutionalists in the country would laugh. You have an abusive request and you know it. To be honest, we will have to be clear about one thing, I am not dealing with your political rhetoric at all, in the Council of Mandates we strictly adhere to the regulations. The debates that I consider stilted do not belong to this council, they can belong to the pulpits of the parties, but this council sees only these elements that I addressed. As long as this council does not have the power to decide, we cannot speak here. I ask questions, you stretch it and make it up, because you have no answer to justify what you say.
White:I listened carefully to Ferhat, he told us that a man's wealth does not belong to a woman. I have quoted the articles of the Constitution. It has been tied by the Constitutional Court, it has nothing to do with you and me. That society consists as if it is registered in the name of the official, that is, the deputy. The law has also provided the basic method of treatment and settlement of interest. Unlike those in the case that you told us, I am quoting the decision that "It is the duty of the deputy to take the appropriate measures to complete the data not only for himself, but also for his family members". In the statement, the minister has fulfilled the related obligations. A part of you was also at the wedding. Taulant, you were at his wedding. If you've been, you know that fortunes are shared. Laws are public and are mandatory for implementation. We have no competence, neither the council nor the Assembly, but we have only one obligation, as the motion is, together with the evidence, by the decision of the session after the meeting of this council, to forward the case to the Constitutional Court. Then, that he puts the money in his pocket, but gives half to his wife, but this does not appear, it is the competence of the Constitutional Court.
