Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)The Constitutional Court has held today a hearing hearing in the case of Etem Arifi vote, a case put forward by Vetevendosje that disputes the legality of the Hoti Government. Vetevendosje's representative was Blerim Saquu, while the representative of the Vetevendosje Parliamentary Group was Artan Abrashi.

Vetevendosje's representative was Blerim Saquu, while the representative of the Vetevendosje Parliamentary Group was Artan Abrashi.
On the other hand, Besnik Berisha was from Prime Minister Hoti's cabinet, while Rock Manaj represented LDK deputies.
Artan Murat, Vjosa Osman's adviser, represented the Speaker of the Assembly in an authorised way.
Discussions lasting over four hours were conveyed with constant repetition of arguments from the parties but which, however, took a very strange stream over time because of the usual confusion of practices.
The main issue discussed today was whether former MP Etem Arifi's entire mandate was invalid, which would produce even greater legal consequences than those claimed by Vetevendosje.
Constitutional judges did not hesitate to issue the question to the Parliament's authorised whether the Assembly had 119 or 120 valid mandates in case of its institution? Murati said it was 120.
But a different opinion had been made of Blerim Sa God, who in an expressly opposed the entire mandate of MP Etem Arifi from the start. That would mean that the Parliament was made up of 119 deputies when the constitution was constitutionalised, and 119 was voted into the Kurti Government, except when the Hoti Government was formed.
However, Saqu stated that the issue of validity was problematic in the absence of the institutions that decided on it.
But Besnik Berisha, representing the prime minister, indicated there could be no partial validity of MP Arifi's mandate.
Likewise, representatives were asked what should be the legal consequences of Arifi's unconstitutional vote - elections or something?
During this session, there were many technical and other irregularities. The participants often found it difficult to answer basic questions by avoiding them or by repeating earlier words. Also, on at least two occasions Artan Abrashi of the VV broke the camera link with the Constitutional Court. And Artan Murati of the Parliament was seen on many occasions until he spoke to someone else until the discussions continued. LDK's Manaj Exchange already had a big problem updating the version of “Zoom” to enable translation from Serbian. /Periscope
