The Democratic Party has chosen a strategy that is more like a "correspondence boycott."
Today, during the constitution of the Special Parliamentary Commission for the second phase of the administrative-territorial reform, the seats allocated to the opposition remained completely empty. This refusal came in reaction to the fact that the Socialist Party, after dissolving the bipartisan commission, approved the new administrative map alone — a move that the opposition considers a direct betrayal of the consensual process.
However, this "betrayal" of the past does not seem to pose any obstacle or problem for the DP when it comes to electoral reform.
Just 30 minutes later, the opposition representatives normally enter the table to sit "knee-to-knee" with the representatives of Edi Rama's majority.
While at the Territorial Assembly they chose to be absent in protest, at the Electoral Assembly the opposition appeared ready for dialogue with Damian Gjiknuri, thus implementing a selective stance with two standards within the same parliamentary day.
