The National Association of Judges reacts to Rama's criticism of Judge

A reaction has come from the National Association of Judges following Prime Minister Edi Rama's public criticism of judge Marko Boshku.

In a public statement, the National Association of Judges says that this is an unprecedented and unacceptable attack on a judge, while emphasizing that they call on the Supreme Court of Justice to take a clearer position in defense of judges.

“The National Association of Judges of the Republic of Albania notes with outrage that once again the head of the Albanian executive, in a completely unprecedented and unacceptable manner, has attacked another judge of the Administrative Court of First Instance of Tirana, Mr. Marko Boshku. First, the Association expresses its full support to Judge Boshku, as a judge with integrity and a model in his work. Second, it urges the High Judicial Council to take a clearer position in defense of the judicial power in general and certain judges in particular. Third, it calls on all our international partners to support without reservations the reformed justice system, which is primarily the product of their unstinting assistance, and to make it possible for their voice in this regard to be heard by those who have lost this sense in relation to domestic actors. Fourth, it reminds the highest representative of the executive branch that any derogatory statement towards judges constitutes interference in their activity and "that, referring to Article 145, point 3, of the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, such an action entails liability under the law," the statement says.

The association says in a statement that posts and comments like the one against Judge Boshku border on a criminal offense. The National Association of Judges also states that “the attack on judges constitutes an attack on the entire judicial power and this, without a doubt, is not only an attempt to usurp this power but may have consequences for the process of integration into the European Union.”

“The Association guarantees to all judges of the Republic of Albania that it will not tolerate any offensive or humiliating action, performance or comment committed by high-ranking state officials, regardless of the power they may hold. This Association will not stop at making statements condemning such behavior or expressing solidarity with judges, but will, as the case may be, exercise any other legal means. Posts and comments such as the one made against Judge Marko Boshku are on the verge of a criminal offense and, as such, will be monitored by this Association, deciding on the steps to be taken in each case. The attack on individual judges constitutes an attack on the entire judicial power and this, without a doubt, is not only an attempt to usurp this power but may have consequences in the process of integration into the European Union. The principle of separation of powers is one of the features that distinguishes a state of law from a dictatorial state and "This separation of powers begins with a culture of accepting the existence of spheres of competence that do not belong to one. Attacking another power not only undermines this cornerstone principle of our Constitution but is an expression of a mentality that belongs to another regime," the statement said.
