The salary of judges and prosecutors multiplied during the reform is one of the reasons why the government opened the wallet for the entire administration by wearing white to blue uniforms.
In the report submitted to the assembly explaining the reasons for the changes to the law "On salaries and bonuses", a decision of the Constitutional Court of 2022 is mentioned.
It is about a constitutional decision number 23 of 2022, which after marking the increase in the salaries of magistrates, overturned the salary hierarchy in the country, turning them into the highest paid. But in the meantime, a 2006 law in which the salaries of the administration and independent institutions are ranked, the highest paid should not be them, but the President of the Republic.
This conflict between the two standards is explained in the report submitted to the Assembly on salaries in Albania
In the conditions where, thanks to the judicial reform, the level of remuneration of magistrates has increased, which cannot be reduced, it is necessary to increase the salary of the President of the Republic in order to preserve the hierarchy, it is argued among others in the relation
Another point of view is also touched upon in the relationship. Can the government or not propose legal or by-laws 4 months before the elections as defined in the Electoral Code? The answer is yes.

The government further explains that this type of practice is also known in other countries, where in a certain period before the end of the mandate, the government is prohibited from taking decisions with significant financial effects, except for those that are necessary and that bring the administration ordinary government affairs.
In conclusion, the conclusion is reached that this ban refers to the case of the general elections for the Assembly of Albania, while in this particular case it is about the local elections that will be held on May 14. Day in which Albanians will go to the boxes to express their will./ TCH
