PDK brings Konjufca's decision to Constitution for the session, where the law on minimum wage was passed
(3 years ago)The chief of the PDK Parliamentary Group, Abelard Tahiri, has indicated that on behalf of the party, the decision by Kosovo's Parliamentary Assembly chairman to appoint last week's plenary session has been brought to the Constitutional Court. Tahiri says they have sought recognition of the constitutionality of the decision on the appointment of the 13th session. [...]
Tahiri says they have sought to assess the constitutionality of the decision on the appointment of the 13 July session, with the requirement that such a decision be annulled altogether.
This, according to Tahiri, is set out contrary to the Kosovo Constitution and the Framework Rule of the Parliament and should be annulled, along with it, as Tahiri writes, even all decisions made at the session.
Full response:
On behalf of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party of Kosovo, I announce that we have disputed with the Constitutional Court, the decision to appoint Seanca Plenare last week.
As the authorised side to the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo, we have put forward the requirement for assessing the constitutionality of the decision to appoint Seanca Plenare on July 13th 2023 of the president of the Republic of Kosovo, with the same demand that the same overall be annulled.
The last plenary session of the Parliament was assigned and invited against the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo and the Framework of the Parliament, so as such, it should be annulled and shared, even with all the decisions made at this unconstitutional session.
As the forger of this case, we assess that, the Speaker of the Parliament, has committed constitutional violations in two directions: the first, in failing to meet the deadline for calling and assigning the plenary session and, second, not deciding for approval of the agenda of this session in the absence of headship consensus as a result of the lack of needed quorum, respectively, failing to hold the chairmanship.
As such, this decision has produced constitutional and legal consequences because it has resulted in maintaining the plenary session invited under an unconstitutional procedure, in which laws and bills have been adopted, as well as other decisions for selecting/accuration of carriers of constitutional institutions and independent institutions.
In addition to the request to cancel this session and the decisions made on it, we have also requested the Interim Mass, that until the Constitutional Court's final decision, the effect of all decisions resulting from this unconstitutional session is suspended.
