Socialist Party parliamentary group leader Taulant Balla said Prime Minister Edi Rama remained open to dialogue with students. He ruled out the possibility of Rama resigning.
Speaking to reporters after a party group meeting, Balla said students had legitimate concerns to raise. He said the government provides financial support to high-achieving students and those from families in need. According to Balla, high-achieving students receive $600 per month. Students from low-income families receive exemptions from fees and €100 per month in state support.
On the proposed legislation on public assemblies, Balla said dialogue remained open to all issues, although students had not yet presented a concrete list of demands. He said the government would initiate the legislation through a normative act approved by the Council of Ministers before submitting it to the Assembly for approval.
Balla also rejected opposition claims that laws related to European Union integration were passing through accelerated procedures. He said the Assembly had reviewed them for weeks or, in some cases, years. He called on opposition lawmakers to abandon what he described as a destructive approach to parliamentary proceedings.
