DP demands the election of the People's Advocate, Balla: You don't

The opposition has requested that the election of the People's Advocate be on the agenda in today's session in the Parliament, a request repeated by both the leader of the Democratic Party (DP) Sali Berisha and the Secretary General of the DP, Flamur Noka.

The Minister of State for Parliamentary Relations, Taulant Balla, has stated that a procedure that has always been followed for this issue should be followed, which is the expression of four candidacies by the opposition.

Part of the discussion:
Taulant Balla: You cannot say here either this or I fell and died, we have told you, come and let's build a process. There is a consolidated model in the Assembly where you bring 4 candidacies, the majority removes two and then the vote goes to the two remaining candidacies. To elect the Ombudsman, 84 votes are needed, which you do not have in this legislature or in the next. If you wake up from your sleep, Peleshi was very clear.

Noka: Talking about unrelated things is easy. There is no written agreement, but there was a communication code between us for independent institutions. The Ombudsman belongs to the opposition and you cannot say the opposite.
We have concluded with the name, there was no objection from the SP group, it was only said that his election should be postponed until after the elections. Tell me what procedure or stage has not been exhausted so far. The candidacies have been sleeping in your drawers for four years. Is this extreme arrogance or taking hostage the rights of the opposition?
