Territorial/DP against field hearings, demands their development in the
Boçi and Mazniku

Long debates accompanied the next meeting of the Special Commission for Territorial Reform, where clashes between the majority and the opposition focused on how hearings with the actors involved in this process should be conducted.

The meeting agenda proposed by the majority, which envisages holding on-site hearings with local elected officials, municipal councilors and local administration specialists, was opposed by opposition members. According to them, the hearings should be held in the Assembly premises and not in the districts.

After a break requested by the opposition, Co-Chairman Luciano Boçi and members of the opposition unanimously argued that hearings spread over several meetings are not the best solution for discussing such an important reform. According to him, it would be more useful for the discussions to take place in the Assembly, in an extended debate involving all deputies.

On the other hand, representatives of the majority insisted that the process should be as inclusive as possible and listen directly to people working at the local level.

Arbjan Mazniku, emphasized that the purpose of the field hearings is precisely to increase the number of people who give their opinion on the reform. He argued that the commission should listen not only to the mayors, but also to the professionals who work every day to provide services to citizens.

According to him, it is necessary for the commission to listen to specialists from various fields, such as housing, cleaning or social services, as they are precisely the ones who have a clear overview of the problems encountered in practice.

"I ask that we listen to more people, not fewer. This is the third meeting according to the document we have presented and we cannot address all issues with the same attention if we do not expand the circle of hearings. It is very important that this commission also listens to the people who work every day with housing, cleaning or social services. In addition to the mayors, we must definitely listen to the opinion of those who are directly involved in providing services to citizens."

The majority also proposed an intermediate formula, where in addition to field hearings, public hearings would also be organized at the district level with the participation of citizens, municipal councilors, and representatives of local institutions. 

The majority was open to the fact that, in respect of the opposition's request, hearings could also be held in the Assembly, but in parallel, the commission will continue with meetings in the territory.

At the end of the meeting and discussions, it was agreed that the two co-chairs would meet the following day to approve a clear monthly agenda for the hearings, so that all interested stakeholders would have time to prepare and participate in the consultation process on the Territorial Reform.
