"President", Duma: We had to propose them in the names and criteria

The majority should have left the proposal of criteria and names for the new President to the opposition. This was stated by the Democratic MP Grida Duma at the meeting of the Conference of Presidents.

The Duma further added that the process for the election of the President is going towards a farce and according to her, this process is simply procedural and bureaucratic. The Democratic MP stated that the minority should be respected before the majority.

 "One thing is certain today. It is not starting today from the point of view of the spirit for starting the process for the election of the President. PS has started the process. You have started the process with sealed envelopes. If we were talking about not utopia but a constructive democracy, I would see it as a gesture of political nobility for the majority to first take the baton to the opposition, to the DP and say: Start the proposals, let's leave to the DP proposals.

It is very likely that the DP would bring in political or apolitical individuals remains a prejudice. We can also bring a proposal that is not political and that represents the unification of Albanians. The second element is the criteria.

The constitution has generalists for this reason, so that politics finds the unification of criteria based on the political situation. These criteria are the reason why we started the discussion by saying Transparency and why we are not proceduralist.

But also to the criteria. I believe we should have discussed the criteria in 15 days. You made the call on April 29 after closing the process with envelopes, which is not a transparent and unifying process. It should have been appropriate to pass the baton to the opposition precisely because the minority is respected in front of the majority when power is there. If it were not for the purely procedural and bureaucratic process. These deadlines in spirit are violated because the process without criteria risks going to a farce. "It looks like he's going after your sealed envelopes." - said Duma.
