The plenary session faced significant disruptions this week, with no dedicated time allotted for a recess intended to restore procedural normalcy. Early in the proceedings, deputies from the PD formed a physical barrier near the speaker’s area, effectively blocking the session and preventing Minister Ferit Hoxha from addressing the chamber. Following this, Peleshi formally requested a 15-minute recess and a meeting of the respective group leaders.
The session was subsequently interrupted for a second time due to tensions within the Parliament, as the PD deputies did not vacate the area surrounding the speaker’s rostrum. Later in the day, the opposition raised a demand to include several draft laws on the agenda. These proposed bills were understood to align with demands for the repeal of the protected zones law.
However, the majority faction rejected the request to alter the established agenda. The political tension escalated as Sali Berisha, the head of the PD, engaged in several sharp exchanges with the leader of the PS group. The inability to schedule a restorative recess, combined with the procedural deadlock over the agenda, marked the session.
The actions of the opposition deputies continued to impede the normal flow of parliamentary business, focusing debate on legislative overhauls rather than standard procedure.

It seems like the political tensions in Parliament are making it difficult for any normal proceedings to take place.
