Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted to statements from internationals, shortly after the socialist majority rejected SPAK's request for authorization to arrest MP Belinda Balluku with 82 votes.
Through an announcement on the "X" platform, the head of government welcomed the statements made by the embassies of the United Kingdom and Germany, who emphasized that one of the main principles for Albania's membership in the EU is the fight against corruption.
The Prime Minister emphasized the stance that the political force he leads and the socialist government have regarding justice and its reform.
Edi Rama's post:
I welcome the statements of the embassies of the United Kingdom and Germany, with the principles expressed in which we all very much agree, 100%.
But given that both came out today, when the Parliament rightly refused to remove the freedom of a deputy in the complete absence of conditions to take such an extreme step, and, at the same time, given that the Tirana Molotov Association has also begun to speak on behalf of Germany, I take this opportunity to emphasize:
• This governing majority has a divided mind and an unsteady compass: Albania 2030 in the European Union
• Justice reform is not being reversed, the independence of the judiciary is not affected, and support for SPAK remains unwavering.
• The real fight against corruption continues, more persistent than ever, as the updated objective overview of the European Commission clearly shows.
• Belinda Balluku is not accused of corruption and the investigation into the case should continue, undisturbed by either obstruction or the interference of SPAK, by factors outside the boundaries of independent judicial power.
• The ruling majority did today without any discussion what any democratic parliament in Europe would do, where passing the prosecution's requests not for the arrest without trial of a deputy like today's request, but for whether or not to start investigations, is nowhere like passing without any kind of border control in the Schengen area. It is a serious process, based on constitutional and legal norms, which are neither carte blanche nor closed doors for the prosecution.
Today we have fully respected those norms and whoever claims the opposite has their indisputable right, but there are not enough arguments to win the debate on the existence or not of the border between independent constitutional powers, which the Albanian parliament closed today by showing that the dignity of parliamentarians is not material for socio-political experiments, which make the cure more dangerous than the disease that must be fought!
Let's move forward, Albania has no plan B
