PHOTO+VIDEO/ Tensions at Maliq Municipal Council meeting as socialists walk out! Elderly man ‘threatens’ to hit them with his cane

On Thursday morning, Maliq Municipal Council’s meeting on the Territorial Reform was marked by tensions and heated debates, as the left-wing councillors walked out of the chamber.

The meeting, called by the opposition, began at around 10:00 a.m. and lasted approximately 20 minutes. The agenda included approval of the official position of the Maliq Municipal Council, which would then be forwarded to Parliament as part of the process of reviewing the administrative-territorial division.

The group of left-wing councillors said they would not take a decision on the proposal that was to be sent to Parliament.

Following this, the chairman of the Municipal Council declared the meeting closed, prompting reactions from opposition councillors and the citizens present.

Meanwhile, an elderly man can be seen angered by the closure of the meeting, addressing one of those present and pointing his cane at him.

“Who is closing the meeting? Sit down there. Sit down quickly,” the elderly man says.

It should be recalled that, under the draft proposed by the Socialists for the Territorial Reform, the Municipality of Maliq would be merged with that of Korçë.
