PDK, Government: KPM Law, take him to Venice Commission, if not we take him to the Constitutional Court.

MP Isak Shabani's PDK has said that the Project on Independent Media Commission, there are many possibilities for interpretations that undermine media freedom. He has asked power to send him to the Venice Commission. If not, he says the PDK will send this bill to Constitution.

I am pleased that one of the EC's demands has been to draft a bill on media freedom.

But with the current law proposed in principle, many concerns have been raised these days. From organisations including civil society and the media. The bill leaves many opportunities for interpretations that curtail media freedom.

The PDK's request is for this bill to be submitted for assessment to the Venice Commission.

To be a law not to change every time someone comes to power, I believe it will not be a major obstacle to receiving recognition from the Venice Commission.

Therefore, the requirement will be to submit to the Venice Commission, if that is not required by you, we will ask that we send it to the Constitutional Court to get the assessment of whether it is a good law, are they giving too much competence to the KPM, or media freedom is violated”, he said.. /Periscopi
