Today’s parliamentary session has a total of 22 items on the agenda for discussion, 7 of which are the most important and among them “anti-defamation packages”.

Most controversial in recent days is the anti-defamation package after facing numerous controversies.

For this reason the Assembly has made some changes and intervened several times to reflect them.

SP leader Taulant Balla also announced last night that he has made some changes and amendments that reflect the concerns of journalists.

Prime Minister Rama has expressed confidence that he will pass this legislative initiative to parliament today, though the law has been rejected by the European Council.

From the observation of the journalists yesterday evening again the point has not changed where the AMA has the right to receive a fine before the court decides, even after some modifications are allegedly reflected.

Meanwhile, the gathering of journalists has begun and police have been stationed around parliament to ensure the entry of MPs, while some of them have preferred to enter through the Parliament’s door to avoid journalists.

The State Budget is also a point of interest in the discussions of parliament today which has also undergone changes due to the consequences  of the 26 November earthquake.

The dismissal of Arben Malaj will be voted on in parliament today where he will have his word for about 15 minutes.

President Meta’s two decrees are also expected to be overturned also the postponement of the emergency law due to earthquake consequences will be being voted on./abcnews.al
