TIRANA, April 3 /ATA/ The Chairperson of the Parliamentary group of the ruling Socialist Party Bledi Çuçi said today that the Special Commission for Disinformation is not a mechanism for internal political goals, therefore, according to him, “here all parties must be together”.
The Chairs Conference met today to decide on setting up of a Special Parliamentary Commission with a focus on coordinating and supervising all institutional efforts to combat disinformation and other forms of foreign interference in democratic processes in Albania.
“I am sorry that my colleagues in the opposition view every initiative of the majority with paranoia. But, this is not the case”, said Çuçi.
According to him, “Due to developments around the world, the values of Western democracy are threatened more”.
“Disinformation is one of the instruments that is being widely used to undermine democratic values. We don’t say this, but the whole Western world does. The European Parliament had a resolution and a special commission for this purpose. This is not a mechanism for our internal political goals, that’s why we have to be together on this matter”, said Çuçi.
According to him, “The setting up of this commission is necessary”.
“It will make a complete analysis of the situation. I think that if this Parliament will have a commission where we should be in sync, it is this commission where we should provide a detailed analysis of the level at which the intervention of these countries has gone. We cannot be immune when the USA or EU countries are not. It is our honor to address it as soon as possible. I am convinced that you will join this commission”, stated Çuçi./m.m/r.e/p.s./
