Rama: Dialogue, but not mandate

The one at the opening of the Parliament said the opposition is seeking power at the table.

“This Parliament is the place where the majority of Albanians brought us and have given us the task of governing until 2021, and our mandate is not a card of gambling. We don't gamble with the warrant. They want what they've always wanted. Take power on the table. These seek what we cannot give them, overturn the rules of the game and transform the process into an absurd process. But perhaps this is a great evil they have done themselves, but a good for the country. It is time for Albanians to see that they are not the only solution and choice. There are others who have arrived today, there are others who will come, as many as they will come, there are others outside these walls... We're always willing to talk, our hand is extended, we're ready to dialogue about everything, but we'll never be ready to negotiate the basic rules of hours, democracy, parliamentarians and the mandate received by the overwhelming majority of citizens we don't negotiate with anyone. With the new opposition in Parliament we will push forward election reform”, Rama said. /TCh/
