"Quality" justice for those in power, but not for citizens
2026-02-26 19:57:34 / IDE
For some time now, public debate has been raising concerns about SPAK investigations and generally about criminal policies in Albania, which are considered repressive, or that they are violating fundamental human rights and freedoms with the measures that are being applied. The criticisms have mainly been directed at SPAK. Prime Minister Rama himself has recently been waging this battle. If you listen to his speech today on the Balluku case, it is a total frontal attack on the justice system with the argument that justice is independent but not qualitative, that it is violating the separation of powers and other arguments like these. A position that is totally opposite to what the majority and its leader have held so far. A position that is covered with technical arguments, but which is essentially a political position. Now the majority and Prime Minister Edi Rama have turned from propagandists of justice reform into its official and public attackers. To date, only the Democratic Party and Sali Berisha have publicly attacked SPAK. In this public battle against justice, Edi Rama has officially joined Sali Berisha.
The rhetoric of the policy for qualitative justice has been joined by a number of experts or lawyers who participate in public debates with the same arguments that the policy for qualitative justice uses. Of course, their positions on criminal policies may be right, but the fact that they remembered qualitative justice precisely when those in power are being investigated makes these arguments dubious.
In fact, the discussion about quality justice in Albania has only begun when people in power have been investigated or are being investigated. Suddenly, Albania became a country with repressive criminal justice when those in power came to its doors. No one remembered the quality of justice when ordinary citizens go to detention. No one remembered when Albanian citizens went to prison for an unpaid electricity bill.
For 35 years, Albanians have been wandering in the doors of justice and no one from politics has done anything to build a quality justice for its citizens. On the contrary, it is directly responsible for the suffering of citizens in the doors of justice. This majority has done nothing to help the justice system in accelerating judicial processes, but when it comes to investigating its members, it stands up and raises the alarm that justice is not of quality.
This whole approach is a hypocritical approach of the majority and politics in general. In fact, what politics is seeking is qualitative justice for those in power and not for the citizens. Everyone has the right to seek it, since both those in power and the citizens should have such justice, but the fact that they raise the alarm about qualitative justice only for themselves makes them untrustworthy. The power they have received from the Albanian people is their duty to use for their benefit and not to protect themselves.
The Prime Minister's speech today is a clear sign that the Socialist Party and the Democratic Party do not have any different stances regarding SPAK. Both parties remember about quality justice only when they have their own concerns and not those of Albanian citizens.
Albanian politics on both sides is no longer hiding, and has come out openly against the special structure, which warns of an alliance against it that will definitely happen, but at a high cost for Albanian citizens.
