TIRANA, May 26 /ATA/ The vice-chair of the Democratic Party, Jorida Tabaku, stated on Friday that the Constitutional Court decision is crystal clear and in defense of the pockets of Albanians who pay more for oil, therefore there is no logical and legal reason for the board of oligarchs to be in place.
According to her, the Constitutional Court has ruled that the Food Board and the Fuel Board, apart from being unconstitutional, have performed their functions.
“In a complete violation of competition, in an unprecedented case in the world, big businesses sat down at the table with the government and set prices to the detriment of citizens’ pockets! Due to this violation of the Constitution, the citizens have paid an extra 600 million to the businesses that sat at the table to fix the price,” said Tabaku.
She went on saying that although the Food Board has not been legally dissolved, de facto it does not meet.
Meanwhile, the Fuel Board continues the old story of setting prices for oil at the expense of Albanians.
“Such a thing continues to happen, despite the CC decision, although the situation is no longer an emergency and the prices of oil and gas in the international market have stabilized. The decision of the CC is crystal clear and in defense of the pockets of Albanians who pay more for oil, therefore there is no logical and legal reason for the board of oligarchs to be in power. It is up to the government to act, but I also understand its hesitation since it is a partner in the high price setting by the board. Therefore, I call on the parliament to put in a request for the dissolution of this board,” Tabaku said.
