What will happen to Meta? The Constitutional Court decides on an hour break, the parties return at 12:00 for the final showdown!

At the same time when the lawyers of the head of state will be before the constitutional judges, a few meters further from Ilir Meta from his office will publicly read the answers to the 72 questions asked by the members of the court.

The president has chosen not to physically participate in the ongoing trial against him, leaving the defense to lawyers.

Today, with the start of the session, the representative of the President Bledar Dervishaj said that he has brought new evidence and facts for the trial panel.

Dervishaj has submitted a new request to the court. The assembly documents were distributed to members of the trial panel and a copy was sent to the president.

Dervishaj asks for laptop in session: To display the facts

Bushka: We want to understand what this request is about, whether it is about answering questions, or something else.

Tusha: We can make the court laptop available to you depending on the process.

Dervishaj: I got the working laptop and it loves me help to explain, I bring new evidence and facts.

Dervishaj: We also have the materials in flash and we will use the certified court laptop.

Dervishaj: We are in the third session of this issue. The presidency presented its answers. The Assembly also submitted them in writing. Did not respond within 2 hours. That was impossible. We have drafted the answers in writing. I file before the court the written answers of the president. Focusing on some new evidence that has come from the Assembly and the president. I want to anathema the truth of the evidence from the Assembly, it came on Friday urgently, while we were working on the questions. It is done to refute the claims of the president. This is urgency, we understand. But the assembly can not interfere with the evidence, its authenticity.

On February 4, the Court sent us a letter from the Assembly. Since July 1, we have referred to the number of the chairman 06.05.2021 and not 05.05.2021 as forwarded by the Assembly. It is in the format with the signature of the chairman.

The 7th date for the meeting of the Assembly could not be set because the report had not been formed.

If we compare item 20 of the chairman’s order with item 20 of the agenda, the title also changes.

This casts strong doubt on the veracity of the evidence brought. The biggest mistake is the urgency of how this proof of the Assembly was brought, which is not true, but aims to refute what the president claims.

President’s interference in the election. The president communicated in writing with the state commissioner, requesting that the entire president’s cabinet participate in election observation. Celibashi informed the president that he and his cabinet could take part in election observation. Therefore the president’s intervention in overseeing the laws was legitimate.

Vitore Tusha: The Assembly made the answers to the questions available to us

Meanwhile, in court, the president’s representatives showed 3 videos, which are part of the statements of Prime Minister Rama when he spoke on the issue of patronage.

“Take the bad guys, they know who you are and we will come after you and on April 25 you will know who we are”, was a part transmitted by Rama’s speech.

According to Dervishaj, these are proofs of the prime minister’s attacks on the president, the patronage scandal and the president’s reckoning as a participant in the elections.

Vitore Tusha- Dervishajt: We have invited you to give us answers. We have heard so far only about the analysis of some evidence.

Dervishaj- We have submitted the answer in writing.

Tusha- Judgment is oral, we want to hear it.

Dervishaj- We have sent in writing to the court to take the necessary time to review this is my request.

Tusha- You choose not to read? Then who will take on the role of reading in the hall?

Dervishaj- We do not intend to block. We came, we received 72 questions, we asked for 48 hours for their drafting in writing and we came and deposited them as the Assembly did. We chose this path, we responded in writing.

Tusha- You think this stage is exhausted? I want to fix it in the minutes.

Dervishaj- Madam President, I want you to record it in the minutes that we have filed, the court must review the answers together with the evidence.

Bushka: We have nothing, Madam President, after the clarifications are made regarding the evidence, we will seek to end it and move on to the conclusions.

Bushka: It is not in the role of the President to behave as a representative of political parties and leave the constitutional role. The president’s evidence says nothing.

Meta’s advisor, Bledar Dervishaj

Dervishaj: The president has played a role over the parties, to maintain peace and political balance

Dervishaj- In 2019, the President formally notifies the president where he has the right to be heard before the law committee. In 2021, this standard has been uprooted and the Assembly itself has accepted this fact. The same commission, the same chairman, the same rapporteur, but different standards.

The president has played a role over the parties after the country got into a state of emergency as a result of covid. To maintain political calm and balance, the President designed a platform of cooperation that I offer to the parties to overcome political crises.

Apart from the president, no other party undertook to follow him as a platform. He has followed constitutional laws where the president aims to maintain political balance and calm.

Presidency: Meta was summoned to the Commission of Inquiry by order! Assembly: The President refused, he called us legitimate

Meanwhile, Mimoza Arbi, Director of the legal service, said that there are two standards between 2019 and 2021.

Arbi: There is no double standard, even in 2021 they have informed the president about the right to speak and be heard. It is the invitation where the president is invited to participate in the hearing and we also have the president’s answers with his answers like: “I do not know you”, “deal with other issues” etc. For the videos of Prime Minister Rama. Rama is a political entity and in the elections he uses the statements that he considers reasonable. It is not in the role of the president to behave like a political representative and step out of his constitutional role. Therefore, the president’s claims can not be called accurate. The reports of 4 or 5, are deliberate confusion and are not presented as presented by the president’s representative. They are administrative matters of the Assembly. After the speech, I ask for the trial to begin.

Bushka: We had the same standards as in 2019 as in 2021. The first time you were ready to participate in the process, the second time you refused and refused to recognize the process by calling the assembly illegitimate.

‘We want time’ / Tusha: An hour break to prepare the president’s representative

Tusha– All evidence has been reviewed and administered if there is other evidence you can make available to us.

Tusha- We move on to the next step related to the final discussions of the parties in the process, do you need time or are you prepared?

Dervishaj- Maybe 1 hour time

Tusha- The court withdraws for an hour break to give the parties the opportunity to prepare for the final hearing, the hearing starts at 12 o’clock.

Vijon…
