In today’s session in the Constitutional Court where the request for the dismissal of the President of the Republic, Ilir Meta is being reviewed, the defense presented itself in court with a voluminous file of 140 pages.
In his speech, the legal representative, Bledar Dervishaj said that after receiving questions from the Court, the Presidency has prepared all the necessary answers on the issue.
Meta’s demands remain the same as those in the first hearing against him, which was held on February 1. The President’s defense stressed that no single act of Meta has been discovered, where the head of state can be implicated in constitutional violations.
Also, according to Dervishaj, the principle of the rule of law and impartiality has been violated.
According to him, the Law Commission violated the Constitution by not respecting any deadline. He stated that the decision to dismiss the President was made in a transitional period of the Assembly, further emphasizing that the Commission of Inquiry was set up in the absence of an available facility and the Assembly has intervened in the powers of the head of state.
“If an investigative activity has started, pursuant to the law on Investigative Commissions, they have the duty to terminate it, at the moment when they are in the election period.“, Argued Dervishaj.
He accused the Assembly of trying to interfere in the way the President has exercised his function and for this reason, according to him, the Assembly has violated the principle of separation of powers.
“We started fictitious. The violations are obviously serious and flagrant and should be repealed by the Constitutional Court. The Assembly attempted to go directly into the way the President exercises his powers. The Assembly deliberately violated the principle of separation of powers. The Assembly tried to delegitimize and limit the activity of the President, conveying to the public that it is the Assembly that has the roles and exclusivity of the right“, Declared Dervishaj.
The defense of the President of the Republic, listing as after their weight a series of arguments, analyzes that the whole issue was done for the purpose of revenge.
“This course of action, without object and subject, has failed to identify a serious action or act, moreover clearly showing that the process is politically initiated, taking revenge on the President, limiting his role and avoiding attention from all problems of the electoral process“, He said.
Afterwards, Dervishaj continued to elaborate the case, formulating accusations on the government of the past four years.
From the very beginning, the legal representative of the institution of the President, citing the OSCE report on the 2017 general elections, stressed that the OSCE, had pointed out problems with vote theft and its purchase. He did not forget to bring to the table the withdrawal of the opposition from the Parliament and the burning of mandates, underlining that the parliamentary groups no longer represented the opposition.
Dervishaj stressed that the dismissal of the President came from these parliamentary groups, which did not represent the opposition.
“For this reason, it is an invalid decision“, He said.
In the first session held on February 1, after 11 hours of debate, the Constitution decided to postpone the session until Thursday.
On June 9, with 104 votes in favor, the Assembly of the previous Legislature decided to dismiss the President, and now a constitutional decision is needed for Meta to be dismissed.
Before the seven-member panel of the Court, representatives of the Assembly and the President defended their views expressed throughout this time.
The representatives of the majority, Taulant Balla and Klotilda Bushka, stated that the President should be dismissed for serious violations of the Constitution, not standing on the parties before and during the campaign, endangering the lives of citizens with strong statements and calls and damaging relations. with international partners.
On the other hand, the representatives of the President, Bledar Dervishi and Katrin Treska, stated their claims on the members of the Constitution, the legitimacy of the Assembly and the rejection of the issue.
