Journalist Klodiana Lala, invited to the show "This Week" on News24 , commented on the latest developments regarding the investigations against Belinda Balluku.
According to Lala, SPAK is actively pursuing investigative procedures, while Balluku is already an official defendant. In addition to the main case, the special institution is also reviewing a series of tender procedures where her role is being investigated.
Lala emphasized that the communications seized during the investigation, including those extracted from the cell phones of the former director of the Albanian Road Traffic Agency, Evis Berberi, have been challenged in court by Berberi himself, who requests that they not be recognized as evidence. From the data of these devices, according to the journalist, a considerable number of other investigative cases and potential defendants have arisen. “When you see such communications, it is understandable how tenders over the years have been awarded with preferences. Not only are millions of euros in damages suspected, but serious problems with the quality of the roads also appear,” she said.
Another point that Lala addressed was the possible influence of political language on SPAK. She recalled that the case is ongoing and that it cannot be predicted how it will end. Meanwhile, the Constitutional Court has postponed the consideration of the request for the Balluku case, initially scheduled for December 4.
The request in question comes from Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has opposed the GJKKO decision to suspend Balluku from office, arguing that this decision violates the attributes of the Prime Minister, the Assembly and the President in their powers for executive appointments. In addition to lifting the suspension, Rama also requests a constitutional interpretation for a specific article.
According to Lala, the case was initially reviewed by a panel of judges, who decided to refer it to a full Constitutional Court session for a decision. This means that all members will decide whether or not to review the request, and whether to uphold the decision of the Constitutional Court. While it was scheduled to be held on December 4, some judges have requested additional time due to the volume and sensitivity of the file.
Lala expressed her hope that the Constitutional Court will make a fair and impartial decision. According to her, the GJKKO's decision to suspend Balluk was "fair and well-founded."
She added that Balluku's parliamentary mandate has not been affected, as she was elected as an MP, while the positions of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister are appointable functions and as such, according to her, are suspendable. Lala also emphasized that a minister, regardless of the executive function, enjoys the rights of an MP even in cases of austerity measures.
Regarding the Prime Minister's public appearance in defense of Balluk, Lala said that he "may be trying to create a defense for himself," adding that he may be afraid of a possible action by SPAK against him. "The Prime Minister has the legitimate right to address the Constitutional Court, but it is important that the court remains independent," the journalist concluded.
