Edi Rama's aggressive statements towards SPAK and signals for legal intervention have alarmed the European Union. The German minister's urgent visit to Tirana conveyed the message that Berlin will not allow any political move that violates the independence of the judiciary and the EU integration process.
A day after Edi Rama's aggressive statement against SPAK, which he telegraphed using the Trump family as a cover, the European Union was immediately alarmed.
German Chancellor Merz has urgently sent his Minister for Europe, Gunther Krichbaum, to Tirana on a special mission. The latter immediately held meetings in Parliament with Taulant Balla and Jorida Tabaku, making it clear that no so-called legal reform that aims to block or stop the hand of the Special Prosecution Office will be supported.
The mission came after signals that a secret draft for amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code is being prepared in the Parliament, which imposes strong restrictions on SPAK, especially in relation to senior officials. As it is learned, the attempt aimed to separate the administrative management of SPAK from the criminal one, which would mean that the head of the prosecution would no longer have an active role in building criminal files, but would be reduced to a formal coordinator of the institution.
Such a move would create the ground for an administrative court to suspend the head of SPAK at the request of an interested party, directly affecting the functioning of the special prosecution office.
On the other hand, yesterday's statement by Edi Rama, who has issued a stream of accusations against SPAK, has been considered political aggression and has openly alarmed the European Union. For this reason, the German minister has urgently arrived in Tirana to announce that Berlin will not tolerate any political act by the executive or the majority against the special prosecutors.
In parallel, a report published two weeks ago by a British agency emphasized that Edi Rama's unlimited power in Albania has turned the country into a state where democratic mechanisms of balance and control are truly lacking. The report, drafted by renowned academics, underlines that Rama's absolute power has become an institutional risk.
In this context, the German Minister for Europe also met with Edi Rama, conveying his boss's political ultimatum. According to the official press release, the Minister of State for Europe in the Federal Foreign Office, Gunther Krichbaum, held political talks in Tirana with Prime Minister Edi Rama, the Minister of State for Public Administration and Anti-Corruption Adea Pirdeni, Deputy Foreign Minister Megi Fino, the co-chairs of the National Council for European Integration Taulant Balla and Jorida Tabaku, the chairman of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party Gazment Bardhi, as well as the head of the Special Prosecution Office SPAK, Klodian Braho.
The focus of these talks was Albania's accession process to the European Union, strengthening the rule of law, and the fight against corruption and organized crime.
At the end of the meetings, Minister Krichbaum stated that Germany wants to see Albania in the EU, being at the same time a friend, supporter and critic on its European path. He emphasized that Albania is at a crucial moment, where the path towards the EU must decisively advance reforms, especially in the field of the rule of law and the fight against organized crime and corruption, through the constructive interaction of all institutional actors in accordance with constitutional responsibilities. / Pamphlet/
