Freedom Party MP, Erisa Xhixho, invited to the studio News24, has commented on the recent political developments in the country, accusing the majority of blocking parliamentary investigative committees requested by the opposition.
According to her, the establishment of investigative committees is a constitutional right of the parliamentary minority, guaranteed through the request of a quarter of the deputies.
"Investigative committees are being held hostage. The right of ¼ of the deputies to request them is sanctioned in the Constitution and the Assembly has the obligation to establish them," said Xhixho, adding that there is also a decision of the Constitutional Court that prohibits the majority from blocking this mechanism.
She focused particularly on the investigative commission on road infrastructure, an initiative of the Freedom Party supported by the Democratic Party, which she said was unfairly dismissed.
The MP raised concerns about the way funds for roads are managed, emphasizing that over 4 billion euros have been spent on infrastructure, while according to her, numerous problems remain.
"At a time when entire areas are blocked, as happened in the southeast, and when projects like the Llogara tunnel show serious problems, there is a need for an investigation into where this money went and how the tenders were carried out," she stated.
Xhixho also criticized the refusal to establish an investigative commission on the AKSHI issue, describing it as a highly sensitive affair.
According to her, the institution that was promoted for providing online services and reducing corruption is today at the center of serious accusations related to abuses and serious violations.
"This is an issue that requires full transparency, as it is also related to the security of citizens' data," the MP said.
