The Guard approaches, Bardhi gets angry: Who gives you the right? Peleshi: Parliament is not a gladiators’ arena

Moments of tension between the head of the Democratic Party’s parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, and the Speaker of the Assembly, Niko Peleshi. This after the head of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, approached the rostrum where Socialist Party MP Arbjan Mazniku was speaking. As soon as Bardhi approached, Guard employees surrounded the rostrum.

The Democrat was outraged and began to argue with the Speaker of the Assembly, Niko Peleshi, who meanwhile asked Mazniku to give up his place to Bardhi. Peleshi further declared that parliament is not a gladiators’ arena.

Bardhi: By what right do the Guard employees stop me from speaking from the rostrum of parliament? Where are we here? You sit there and stay silent. Peleshi: I am not silent. I cleared the rostrum for you. Bardhi: Who gives you the right to bring the Guard to block my rostrum? Peleshi: The law. Parliament is not a gladiators’ arena. Bardhi: Take them out! Peleshi: Go on, speak. You are at the rostrum without the Guard. There is no one there, you are alone.
