In fact, the Assembly has only increased the scores of the heads of justice institutions, especially Altin Dumani.
The debate in the Assembly with the heads of justice institutions proved that the country's parliament is not only unclear about its role in relation to other powers, but, even worse, it behaves towards them as a representative of the personal troubles of the deputies and not as a representative of the problems of Albanian society.
The opposition MPs all lined up with ready-made questions, given by Sali Berisha, questioning Altin Dumani about banal things, which, if there had been a slightly more liberated prosecutor, could have turned the session into a humorous scene with them.
The Socialists, on the other hand, traumatized by the arrests and news of new investigations, were like scared chickens trying not to make eye contact with the prosecution. Thankfully, Altin Dumani keeps his head down when he speaks.
Even worse, when the report of the ILD, which is the institution that should control justice, was heard, there was a consensus from both sides to say nothing, since the report also said nothing.
Today I heard Sali Berisha bragging that they had "nailed" Altin Dumani or that they had made the heads of justice institutions non-existent.
In fact, the Assembly has only increased the scores of the heads of the justice institutions, especially Altin Dumani. The questions asked of him were like questions from reporters who want to find out who is being investigated and why, or even worse, Chinese flashcards like: "What are you doing about the behavior of comrade Filan?".
Altin Dumani and anyone else in his place could entertain themselves with such questions for a whole week in the Assembly without worrying. They are not questions that have to do with how the prosecution or SPAK functions, but with the daily agenda of the deputies. And the Assembly is not the SPAK cadre directorate.
MPs should be concerned about fundamental issues in the work of SPAK, which relate to its compliance with the Code of Criminal Procedure, binding decisions of the Constitutional Court or the Supreme Court on detentions, searches of homes, preliminary arrests or interference with personal data - issues that are causing serious drama for the standards of fundamental freedoms of citizens.
They should debate with SPAK on how to improve investigation practices, how to return to normal the visits of high-ranking political figures to SPAK, how to stop the mentality of "people's trials" through leaks of information to the press in a non-transparent manner.
Only in Albania can it be news for three days whether or not Belinda Balluku will go to SPAK to be questioned, while this procedure is a normal routine. Albania will be a normal country when the going of high political figures to SPAK is routine news. But SPAK's public relations style, to spread the news illegally and not to confirm it officially, just to create public pressure, is a dimension of "popular trials".
The members of the Albanian Parliament are there to ascertain and correct these defects, which have to do with SPAK's legal violations, and not with their daily work.
Whom SPAK summons for investigation, how many hours it holds them, how often it summons them, and what files it investigates, is not the subject of the Assembly's work. The Assembly cannot dictate the order of the files under investigation, nor their intensity. It can only dictate and impose respect for the laws of the Albanian state by SPAK and other justice institutions.
None of the questions from opposition or ruling party MPs had anything to do with this, but they were filled with curiosity about news from SPAK, as if they were competing with Klodiana Lala and Karamuço.
In this regard, the most comfortable people in Albania are precisely the heads of the justice institutions, as they sell the idiotic noise of the deputies in the Assembly, or the critical articles of the press against them, as political pressure, which does not touch at all the legal deformations in their work. On the other hand, they sell as professionalism the results achieved through the deformation of the law, and those in the hall applaud them.
Under these conditions, the power of justice, if we can call it that, has defeated the power of the sovereign in the Assembly, due to the stupidity of the Assembly and not due to the work of justice.
The Republic of Prosecutors and Judges of Albania has nowhere to report on the excesses or violations of its power. The Assembly of the Republic of Albania neither understands its duty, nor does it understand the duties of the Republic of Prosecutors and Judges, nor does it intend to establish a balance between powers in Albania. They simply behave like scared people, because they know what they have done.
And when a country's parliament falls and the sovereign's power becomes trivial, don't expect the rule of law or respect for the rights of its citizens. They have lost those rights since they voted for a parliament that bows to other informal powers in the country, due to their own troubles.
