Elections are not a speed race.
Edi Rama, Erion Veliaj

The government has a problem: they want elections in Tirana, as soon as possible. The president has a duty: to decree the date. The Constitutional Court has a file – Erion Veliaj's lawsuit.

According to the law, as long as there is an active complaint for a dismissal, elections are not allowed. Not for Erjon, the thief of this amber paradise. Not out of anger at the government. But out of respect for the rule of law. And if one article says so, then there is another, there is double reason to convene the Court. After all, this is what we pay for.

In this mosaic, the ball is in President Begaj's court. Will he break the law under the pretext of an electoral emergency? Or will he wait for the court's decision, even though the government doesn't like it?

A hasty decree puts the country on a path of no return. A wasted date, in the face of an open judicial process, can produce elections with an expiration date. Another crisis, instead of a solution.

From a legal and administrative point of view, Tirana is not in an emergency, as declared. It can be said that it is in an unusual institutional situation. This is considered a crisis, but not necessarily an “emergency”.

The functioning of the municipality continues. The municipality administration, deputy mayors and management structures continue to function according to the law on local self-government. There is no suspension of public services: Services such as cleaning, lighting, infrastructure, etc., have not been stopped, which would be an indicator of a real emergency.

The political representation of the city has been truncated, not the functioning of the Municipality. How good for Tirana that the two highest levels of the executive, the Prime Minister himself and his deputy, have been directly involved.

Functional emergency and political and institutional impasse are two different things. The latter requires careful, not hasty, solutions.

The debate itself shows that Veliaj's legitimacy is questionable. In a normal state, we would expect justice to speak. Elections are not speed races.

The President can choose whether the clock or the Constitution is more important; to give Albania a date, or to give our fragile democracy, finally, a standard.
