The Democratic Party Parliamentary Group has submitted to the Assembly a request for the establishment of an Investigative Commission, which aims to verify the legality of the actions of Albanian officials in relation to former FBI special agent Charles McGonigal. The purpose of this commission will be to verify the legality of the actions of Albanian officials, as well as to assess the need for legal measures that guarantee integrity and correctness in relations with foreign officials.
The proposal constitutes a commission with 11 members, where the chairman and four members belong to the Democratic Party, while six members belong to the Socialist Party. The term of activity of this commission is 6 months.
However, despite the constitutional requirement and basis that an Investigative Commission can be established upon the initiative of at least 35 MPs, the Democratic Party currently does not have the necessary votes to achieve this in the Assembly. This situation makes it impossible to approve the establishment of the Commission without the support of other parties, mainly the socialist majority.
In this context, the DP's request is more of a political move and an attempt to put pressure on the majority, rather than a guaranteed initiative to create the Investigative Commission. Moreover, when it comes to establishing a commission where the Prime Minister is rumored to be involved, the chances are that the request will not be taken into account.
