DP MP Elda Hoti stated at a meeting of the Assembly Bureau that Parliament no longer belongs to the citizens, but has become a shield for criminal interests that have seized the state.

The MP made accusations, saying that being expelled from Parliament by a gang of thieves is a medal of honor for anyone who refuses to remain silent, who refuses to become an accomplice to corruption and crime, and fights against them for a free and democratic Albania.

She warns the majority that the exclusion will not stop them and they will receive the answer on January 24th.

"My colleagues and I have been expelled from Parliament for 30 days, just as we were expelled for months last term."

Why were we expelled for 30 days because we protested that Belinda Balluku was taken as a defendant by SPAK and, instead of bearing political responsibility, you took her under your protection.

In every democratic country, an official accused by the judiciary resigns.

Why were we excluded because we denounced organized crime, rampant corruption, and a system built on the plunder of public property?

Why were we excluded because we dared to mention names, affairs, dubious tenders, connections of power with oligarchs and the economic mafia?

Today, it's enough to mention Rama or Balluk and your speech will be interrupted and you will be punished with exclusions.

This Parliament no longer belongs to the citizens, but has become a shield for Ergys, for Belinda, and for the criminal interests that have seized the state.

In fact, our expulsion from Parliament by a gang of thieves like you is a medal of honor for anyone who refuses to remain silent, who refuses to become an accomplice to corruption and crime, and fights alongside you for a free and democratic Albania.

We will continue to denounce, inside and outside Parliament. Your political orders cannot stop us.

Therefore, get used to this reality, your illegal exclusions do not stop us and you will receive the answer on the 24th at 17:00", declares Hoti./ CNA
