With only two months left until the end of this parliamentary session, the Socialist Party has asked the opposition to cooperate on some initiatives that require a majority of votes, such as changes in the laws on the justice reform and the election of the Ombudsman.

The head of the SP parliamentary group Taulant Balla invited the opposition to sit at a joint table and discuss.

“We have the opportunity to talk with the opposition so that these changes, which come as suggestions from partner institutions that monitor the implementation of the justice reform, move forward. I hope and believe that we, as a majority, will have the opportunity to sit down with the opposition.”

The constant requests for legal changes from the governing bodies of the justice system, led to the creation of a joint majority-opposition working group in September of last year, with the aim of preparing a list of changes, but so far there has been no result on the matter.

The changes required by the justice system are mainly of a technical nature and have to do with allowing magistrates to work as judges in the third year of school or changes in the vetting process of magistrates, where it is proposed that only one vetting process be done before admission to the School of Magistracy.

Another issue that requires cooperation between parties is the election of the Ombudsman.

“We need an Ombudsman as defined by the Constitution, an Ombudsman who is politically impartial,” said Balla.
