Today the first Rama-Meta confrontation at the Constitutional Court

The confrontation was scheduled for March 25th, but because of the individual infection of the Constitutional Court members was postponed and the head of government asked to be held today at 10:00, without public presence.

The object of this plenary session is to resolve the competencies dispute between the prime minister and the president.

Rama requires interpretation of Article 98 of the clause 1 for the right to appoint and sack ministers. This indictment has been filed by Rama following a clash with Meta over the failure of former foreign minister Gent Cakaj.

Meta at the time refused to decree Cakaj, who held the post of task leader while Foreign Minister by decree was Rama himself. This is the first face of two leaders in court after the 25 April elections.

The constitutional interpretation of Article 98, Article 1 of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, which reads: The minister is named and dismissed by the president of the Republic, with the prime minister's proposal, within seven days.

We remember that during the 25 April Meta and Rama election campaign they were protagonists of a Cold War.

The president promised to resign from office if Rama wins 71 mandates, he failed to keep his word, even though the SP passed that figure after securing 74 mandates on 25 April. Meta has used a harsh and offensive language against the prime minister and other SP members.

An Investigative Commission has been established to consider whether or not there were constitutional violations, as 49 Parliament deputies voted for his dismissal. / TCh
