Balluku is a defendant and suspended, Rama: The case is in the CC because it is an institutional battle!

Prime Minister Edi Rama has once again reacted to the issue of Belinda Balluku's suspension due to abuses and corruption affairs with the Llogara tunnel and the Great Ring Road.
In his podcast, the head of government said that the matter has been taken to the Constitutional Court, as he says it is an institutional battle to protect the boundaries between powers.
Rama insists that taking this matter to the Constitutional Court is not pressure.
The Prime Minister brought up the example of two of Balluk's subordinates, the head of ARRSH and KESH, who are under house arrest. According to him, two other key institutions for the country have also been left without a head.
"For example, the director of ARRSH and the director of KESH have been placed under house arrest. It doesn't matter what I think about the reasons for these detentions, because yes, this is the job of the prosecutor and the judge - as long as, as the authorities of the Council of Europe have noted with concern more than once, detentions and house arrests without trial have become "bread and cheese" in Albania. But the fact is that they are not investigated while free, and so what is the consequence? The consequence is that two other key institutions for the country are left without a head, which cover the national road infrastructure and the national energy infrastructure. However, why is this consequence now directly linked to the suspension and why is this consequence now becoming irreparable, as long as the suspension, not only antidemocratic, but also illogical, of a cabinet member makes it impossible to replace them, since the law does not give anyone else, except the exclusive authority of the minister, the right to these "It's that simple why the minister cannot be suspended as if he were a public official of any other level," Rama said.
Once again, I would like to reiterate my position regarding the necessity of not undermining the fundamental principle of maintaining the balance between constitutional powers in the Republic of Albania.
Once again, I want to emphasize that the appeal I have filed with the Constitutional Court is not a political battle, it is not an infringement of justice, it is not a pressure on anyone, including these explanations, which are necessary for those who have entrusted me with the privilege of leading this country, but it is an institutional battle, a fundamental battle to protect the boundaries between powers and to prevent the taking over of the exclusive powers of the prime minister, government and parliament by a prosecutor and a judge, a precedent threatening democracy, in the most direct sense of the word and completely unknown in Europe and the entire democratic world.
This action, which is “de jure” called suspension, but “de facto” is a brutal subjugation of the executive, brings consequences after consequences every day. The reason why I share some examples with the public is to fully understand what has happened, what we are going through and what we are trying and am trying to do, by addressing this surprising and surprising issue in the Constitutional Court, and to share, not only the consequences, but also the damages that can become incalculable.
For example, the director of ARRSH and the director of KESH have been placed under house arrest. It doesn't matter what I think about the reasons for these detentions, because yes, this is the job of the prosecutor and the judge – for as long as, as the authorities of the Council of Europe have noted with concern more than once, detentions and house arrests without trial have become "bread and cheese" in Albania. But the fact is that they are not investigated while free, and so what is the consequence? The consequence is that two other key institutions for the country, which cover the national road infrastructure and the national energy infrastructure, are left without a head. However, why is this consequence now directly linked to the suspension and why does this consequence now become irreparable, since the suspension, not only undemocratic, but also illogical, of a cabinet member makes it impossible to replace them, since the law does not give anyone else, except the exclusive authority of the minister, the right to these designations. It is as simple as that why a minister cannot be suspended as if he were a public official of any other level
There is a motto, we have followed it as a postulate: Do not interfere in the affairs of justice. But, on the other hand, this brutal intervention in the body of the government is an alarm bell, which must be heard to the end, so that it never repeats itself. And so, by helping each other and restoring each other to their constitutional positions, we help Albania, we help the consolidation and modernization of the Albanian state.
