Because in Albania, when you are investigated for abuse, your career doesn't go down, but only up.
If someone were to write a manual titled "How to become a high-ranking judge in Albania without passing the basic exams," the first chapter would undoubtedly be dedicated to Valbona Sanxhaktar.
This honorable lady, who once spectacularly failed to enter the Magistrate's School, receiving only 85 points, today appears to us as the "hope of the new justice system." So, someone who did not pass the minimum threshold is today sold to us as the "legal elite." Irony or Albanian reality? Both.
Let's also remember the spicy details: Ms. Sanxhaktari was previously under investigation by the Supreme State Audit Office for abuse of office and theft, but this, instead of disqualifying her, opened the doors to her career. From under investigation for theft, she was catapulted to legal director in the Prime Minister's office. Because in Albania, when you are investigated for abuse, your career does not go down, but only up.
Then, to complete the irony, the lady was also appointed a member of the vetting structures. And there, the Albanian miracle became law: judges and prosecutors with unjustified wealth and corruption files passed without a hitch, while honest and professional people were dismissed, of course "for the sake of reform". All according to the recipe of power: whoever is obedient, remains; whoever is fair, flies.
And now, the icing on the cake, the Supreme Court qualifies Ms. Sanxhatari for the Supreme Court. Yes, exactly the one who could not cross the threshold of the magistrate. The question is simple: does Albania need meritocracy when we have “born talents” who do not need to pass exams?
This is not just a scandal; it is a politically directed comedy. A comedy where the actors laugh at the people, while the people cry for justice. The reform that was sold as the "last hope" has turned out to be a reality show where the most corrupt always wins.
In the end, perhaps we need to get used to the new logic: in Albania it doesn't matter if you failed a test, if you were under investigation, or if you serve as a political tool.
It is important to have a "monthly subscription" to the government. With this ticket, the journey goes to the Supreme Court, and why not, maybe tomorrow to the Constitutional Court as well.
So, if anyone still thinks that justice is independent, it is enough to look at the case of Valbona Sanxhaktari. A vivid irony that shows that in Albania justice is not blind; on the contrary, it sees very well who serves the government and paves the way for them to the top.

'Kasta Politike e Tiranës' pasi rrojti poshtë e lartë, pasuritë mbi e nën tokësore të Shqipërisë, pasi e hoqi për hunde sistemin e drejtësisë dhe i dha fytyrën e vetë, votoi Reformën në Drejtësi me 140 deputet. Jo nga qejfi, por nga halli 905 e tyre. U shantazhuan. Dhe to hanin shantazhin se ndryshe do tu tregonin se sa herë kishin flirtuar me krimin dhe korrupsionin. Por zgjidhjen do ta gjenin rrugës. Vetinguesit partitë do ti përzgjidhnin. Dhe i nxorën nga fundi i 'kazanit'. KED , KLP, KLGJ, promovojnë vëllezërinë. Dështimi i Reformës në Drejtësi e ka një përgjegjës. Qeveritë Rama.
