After a period of silent coexistence with the new judiciary, the synchronized attacks of the majority and the opposition against SPAK show the efforts to reformat the institution in November, with a new leader who does not bother anyone...
For months, there has been a silent balance between the opposition led by Sali Berisha and the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK). Berisha and the group of “resistanceists” have continuously attacked the institution, while the “moderate” wing has collaborated with it as whistleblowers or witnesses. This situation has brought the opposition a certain political comfort and, consequently, a direct access to information or indirect influence on specific files.
On the other hand, SPAK itself has wanted to maintain balance so as not to be perceived as an extension of the majority. Investigations against several important figures of the SP have been initiated or supported by denunciations from the opposition. In this way, SPAK has maintained the image of an institution above the parties, engaged in the fight against corruption everywhere.
But everything changed after Sali Berisha was declared a defendant by prosecutor Arben Kraja, with the co-signature of Altin Dumani. After his house arrest, the tension between Berisha and SPAK increased significantly, but did not take the form of an open clash. The opposition continued to seek cooperation with the new judiciary, especially during the battle for the party seal, which strengthened the formal legitimacy of Berisha's leadership.
During this period, communication corridors with SPAK remained functional, and several figures close to the former prime minister had repeated contacts with prosecutors. However, the result did not bring what was expected: Berisha remained under arrest, while Ilir Meta faced an intensification of investigations for unjustified assets.
This has brought about a clear change of strategy from Berisha, who is attempting a tougher line towards SPAK. But this change, according to political sources, is not just an emotional reaction: it is part of a coordinated move with Edi Rama, which seeks to isolate SPAK from any form of opposition support and strip it of the bipartisan legitimacy that has protected it until now.
This scheme was clearly demonstrated in the attack on Belind Këlliç, one of the figures who has quietly had contacts with the new judiciary. The attack was not only individual, but a signal that the opposition is abandoning any cooperation with SPAK.
According to Pamflet's sources, Edi Rama has prepared a survey to be published in September, which will claim that SPAK's popularity stems from government support. A clear narrative to create the ground for change.
This will culminate in November, when Altin Dumani's term ends. Confidential sources confirm that a new compromise name is being prepared, which does not bother either the majority or the traditional opposition. His appointment is expected to take place in a calmer climate, when the successive attacks of the SP and the DP have weakened the institution and prepared the public for a "necessary change".
In this dangerous game, more than any political figure, the new justice system itself has to lose. If SPAK is isolated, attacked from all sides, and left without international support, it could lose not only public trust, but also the power to act.
This is why the attack on Belind Këlliç, seen in the current context, is not simply a political vendetta, but part of a larger strategy to neutralize SPAK./ Pamphlet
