All analysts and intellectuals have spoken and insist that the 2008 amendment to the Constitution, carried out by the duo Berisha-Rama after a deal between them, led to this catastrophe of the hyper-power of these years. Let us not forget that at that time the Democratic Party was in power and Berisha was prime minister. The proposal to amend the Constitution came from the DP, but with the agreement of the SP.
Returning to the Constitution before 2008 can to a certain extent regulate democracy and the separation of powers in Albania.
Tonight Ilir Meta has reacted, indirectly targeting also the Democratic leader Berisha, who in 2008 became a partner of Edi Rama. In fact these constitutional changes of that year destroyed democracy and the hierarchy of values in the country.
Here is what former president Meta writes:
By Ilir Meta
Return to the Constitution before the 2008 amendments, to restore the separation of powers and the system of checks and balances between them, as a guarantee for the functioning of the rule of law and democracy.
100% opening of lists for electing MPs and municipal councillors, so that they receive their mandate directly from citizens and not from party leaders.
Return of the runoff for electing mayors, so that the winner has the support of the majority of citizens.
Only in this way does sovereignty return to the people, and the right is guaranteed that, alongside candidates of political parties, citizens with contributions, integrity and public support can also run and be elected as independent candidates.
Enough with MPs of party leaders and partitocracy!
Albanians deserve to choose freely and to have their voice heard loudly!
Only in this way is Albania freed from state capture, and honest socialists escape the clutches of “Rilindja”.
Only in this way can Albania become a member of the European Union.
Only in this way does sovereignty return to the Albanian people.
