TIRANA, June 9 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today in the Parliament that, “Ilir Meta has done with the role he took over from the Parliament and the words about him as President are over; now let the Parliament have its say with a vote”.
In the plenary session for voting on the report for dismissal of the President from office, PM Rama said that, “Ilir Meta has betrayed the mission of the President of the Republic of Albania”.
“Ilir Meta has humiliated the Constitution of the Republic of Albania. Ilir Meta has demolished the institution of the guarantor of national unity. Ilir Meta has violated the vital limit of separation of powers in our Parliamentary democracy. Ilir Meta has put shame on Albania and the Albanian people in the very special relationship with the USA. Ilir Meta has scratched the face of the Albanian state in relations with the representations of the international democratic community in Albania”, said Rama.
The prime minister said that, “Ilir Meta has completely and repeatedly and finally lost all the chances that were generously given to him to get back into the rails of moral and legal reason”.
Rama said that Albania can no longer support Ilir Meta by becoming an object of ridicule of the world in the eyes of its friends and its own citizens.
“Therefore, this Parliament today must exercise without hesitation the will of more than 90% of the Albanian people to dismiss Ilir Meta from office. We regret for our former friend Ilir, but today Meta cannot have the high status given to him by the Parliament”, said Rama./p.s./
