Today Prime Minister Edi Rama signed the petition, launched by his own party, to support the vetting in one of the tents set up by the party organization throughout Tirana. The Prime Minister answered a few questions from the journalist present at this occasion.
In response to an answer about the installation of a caretaker government, the main demand of the opposition, Prime Minister Rama responded:
We are ready to listen to concrete proposals of the opposition as well. There’s only one thing that we cannot discuss. We can discuss it but it’s not up to us to decide something that is the right of the sovereign [people]. The sovereign decides who is in the government, and who in the opposition. This work is divided, and we are implementing a contract that is not yet finished.
Moreover, the Prime Minister claimed that the protest of the opposition was actually an opposition to the implementation of the vetting law:
[The opposition] can stay in the tent for other reasons but not for the vetting. In any case no one can stop the vetting. I guarantee you that. The time for vetting and judicial reform has come and no one can stop it.
