Periskopi(8 years ago)
(8 years ago)A fierce pre-night debate and the failure of the National Theatre's collapse law prompted Diasporas Minister Pandeli Majko to address Prime Minister Edi Rama's office Friday morning. Sources told Top Channel that Majko tendered the prime minister's resignation, but that he is taught [...]
Majko used a call to leave the hall on Thursday evening just before the vote began on the law paving the way for the collapse of the National Theatre. This was just the epilogue of a tone and gestures between him and Prime Minister Rama, both of whom seemed quite irritated.
Their distance from cameras makes it impossible to hear conversations, but according to Democratic Party deputies sitting next to the government cabinet post, Rama has addressed Majko with the words: “Don't give me numbers, if you don't want to vote, go home! ” After that, Majko looks on sight as he gets his cell phone, opens a phone call and leaves the Parliament hall without participating in the vote.
During Friday Majko did not respond to Top Channel's interest in explaining what happened in Parliament and his stance on the National Theatre.
For the same building, Pandeli Majko has had another clash with Edi Rama when, in 2002, Mayor Rama sought to break down the theatre, naming Violet Manush's underwear museum “Majko was then prime minister of the country and rejected Rama's plan.
16 years later, the Democrats asked Pandeli Majko to show the same consistency. But opposition leader Basha's public appeal, Majko responded with a Twitter post, which he likes to remind himself that he was twice the country's prime minister. His answer more than political was an art critic's comment giving advice on the artistic calendar.
On Thursday's parliamentary session, Majko was one of the ministers who stayed longer than everyone in the hall, but did not say a word about the theatre. /ToopChannel/
