LATEST NEWS/ Pact with Italy for immigrants, the Constitutional Court votes 5-4

The Constitutional Court votes 5-4 in favor of the "Rama-Meloni" agreement for the acceptance of immigrants from Africa to Albania for a certain period of time.

Sources of Top Channel said that most of the members of the Court consider the pact signed in Rome between the Albanian Prime Minister and his Italian counterpart to be in accordance with the constitution.
A few weeks ago, the group of MPs from Gazment Bardhi and Re-establishment, as well as the Democratic Party, filed two lawsuits in the Constitutional Court where they demanded its repeal as, according to them, it contradicted the fundamental law of the Albanian state.
On December 13, the Constitutional Court considered the request made by 30 deputies of the Berisha-Bardhi group regarding the Italy-Albania agreement, which was considered by them to be unconstitutional.
The consideration of the request by the Constitutional Court automatically brought the suspension of the ratification of the agreement in the Assembly, which was planned to be done in the plenary session of December 14.
The Prime Minister, Edi Rama, did not prefer to give comments, saying that such a thing is within the right of the Constitutional Court.
The draft agreement on migrants was approved by the Italian government on December 5 and sent to the Italian parliament for approval. On November 6, 2023, Prime Minister Edi Rama and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni signed in Rome the agreement for the construction in Albania of two centers for housing immigrants.
According to the agreement, the landing port will be Shengjini, while Gjadri will be the camp where their accommodation will be built. The maximum host capacity is 3 thousand beds.
