Security expert Ilir Kulla has commented on the latest political and judicial developments in the country, focusing on the request of the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK) to lift the immunity of MP Belinda Balluku. Invited to the show "Të Pashoq", Kulla emphasized that we are dealing with an open battle between the executive and the justice system, where the role of the prime minister is appearing increasingly active and confrontational.
According to Kulla, Edi Rama's strong reaction to SPAK and the mention of episodes with BKH agents at the Prime Minister's Office are part of a tense climate, where the boundaries between politics and justice are becoming increasingly blurred.
- SPAK, both with the actions, but also with the latest request for lifting immunity addressed to the Albanian Parliament, the strong reaction of Prime Minister Rama not to release it this time, because as he says, it is not like other cases. On the other hand, a few days ago Rama also reminded us of an episode that happened with the agents of the National Bureau of Investigation in the clash, as he said, with the guard at the Prime Minister's Office, and others and others. A public battle, transparent to some extent, open and universally accepted between the Prime Minister, the executive and the justice, the judiciary on the other side. What is happening?
He gave a kind of description of what was happening. The point is that this day would come. We talked about that honey fable last time, if you remember. This day would come. I think that things precipitated because the Prime Minister was rushed into his battle in the Constitutional Court. And I think it would have been wiser on his part if he had shown himself to be more rational, allowing for a little while for the appeal to be consumed, and then the Supreme Court, if necessary, with the Prosecutor's Office regarding the measure that was given to Mrs. Balluku, namely the suspension.
-He won the Constitutional Court for the moment.
He did not win. He simply postponed the problem and with what he did, he opened another chapter that came with the request of the Special Prosecution Office to lift the immunity. Why? Because the way they have described the whole thing and what I have done before, and in this specific case I quote the story of two people with immunity, who have had and have problems with the Special Prosecution Office and the special courts: MP Sali Ram Berisha and MP Arben Ahmetaj, who was also the predecessor in office of Ms. Balluku. So, in a way, the prosecution had given Ms. Balluku a leniency compared to the others, maybe because she is a lady. So, it had only given her the measure of banning her from leaving the country and suspension from office. Meanwhile, in the case of Mr. Ahmetaj, he requested his arrest directly in parliament and his immunity was lifted then, if you remember, which made Ahmetaj leave. And in the case of Mr. Berisha, immunity was also lifted after Mr. Berisha refused to comply with that first request of the Special Prosecution. In both of these cases, parliament has paved the way for the prosecution of people with immunity.
The factor is now not only Ms. Balluku, who is having a personal battle with the other investigators or defendants, but also the government, which has begun a legal and constitutional battle with the justice system.
