Not only with the list of "Nisma Shqipëria Bëhet" but also with that of PSD and SP, Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi has taken on powers that do not belong to him.
The Electoral Code, the Constitution and the Rules of Procedure of the Assembly clearly state the procedure for mandating deputies from multi-name lists. This list is fixed at the moment it is approved and printed on the ballot paper and does not change. The order of replacement, resignations and rejection of mandates are procedures that take place only in the Assembly.
The State Election Commissioner graduated as a lawyer in 1991 and he should be able to read this much on his own, without advisors. In any case, this has been reminded and made clear to him by the CEC staff. But the answer they received was: “who asks about the law.” In state administration, there is a principle that is rarely violated: “I do not exercise functions that are not my competence.”
There are very few motives why a high-ranking state official would “steal” powers that do not belong to him. Why doesn’t Celibashi ask about the law in the form he chose? Resignations could take place in the Assembly, as the law provides. The will of political parties or leaders would be implemented the same, but according to legal procedure.
What honor did Celibashi do when he "did not ask" about the law and distributed the mandates himself as he knows how? Why did he have to change the list by declaring that the mandates belonged to those who exceeded his powers? If it was not done for a personal matter, are the "honors" that Celibashi has done by exercising powers that belong to the Assembly worth anything?
What about the mess he has irresponsibly caused, at what price was he taken on? All these questions have only one answer: in violation of the law, no one in the state administration can be calm. Only if they are sure that there is a political agreement behind it. But even if there is, time has shown that even those who think they are untouchable end up as victims of these agreements.
