Kryeziu: You can't ask for the opposition's votes without any agreement, then accuse him of being blocked.

As Kryeziu says, the vote for the Speaker of the Parliament is the responsibility of MPs and depends on political agreements providing the majority, not on public rhetoric.

“You can't ask for the opposition's votes without any agreement, and then accuse him of blocking, just because he doesn't vote on your proposed candidate. This is neither political responsibility nor democratic culture, it is political arrogance and ignoring the role the opposition has in a” parliamentary system, Kryeziu wrote on Facebook.

The Assembly Speaker's post is neither technical nor neutral, it is a political position of great weight and clear responsibilities within parliamentary operation. Historically, the mayor's election has always been the result of political agreements between the ruling coalitions, the parliamentary majority, not a decision or implantation of a party.

You can't ask for the opposition's votes without any agreement, and then accuse him of blocking, just because he doesn't vote on your proposed candidate. This is neither political responsibility nor democratic culture, it is political arrogance and ignoring the opposition's role in a parliamentary system.

As to arguments such as “who received more votes from citizens” or “who is the candidate and what it represents”, are without weight in this phase. The vote for the Speaker of the Parliament is the responsibility of MPs and depends on political agreements providing the majority, not on public rhetoric.
