The parliamentary opposition refuses to allow the work of the electoral reform commission to continue with expert drafts, without taking the political decision to change the system earlier.
The new MPs supported the proposal of civil society for a national open-list proportional electoral system, agreeing to formalize this request in the Assembly.
The parliamentary opposition wants a proportional national electoral system with open lists.
The proposal came from civil society which, led by the “Thurje”initiative and in support of the German embassy, calls for this new system.
The parliamentary opposition is guaranteed to formally submit this proposal to the Assembly.
The opposition did not join the last meeting of the electoral reform commission, and conditioned it to start work on the political decision to change the system.
At the table of the Initiative “Thurje” there were no deputies from the majority although they were called.
The Socialists have stated that changing the system is not taboo, but have not been taken any concrete steps to prove they are ready to change the system./abcnews.al
