The Constitutional Court's decision to lift the suspension of the Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku, has only prolonged the agony. The institution that should ensure the implementation of the very fundamental document of the functioning of the state has issued a decision that is absurd, ridiculous, and even scandalous.

The security measure "suspension from duty" , given by the Special Court, was in fact a coercive measure to prevent the investigation or even the evidence, which are in the Ministry of Infrastructure or the Albanian Road Authority, from being compromised. But, to suspend the suspension, a suspension which was made to guarantee the regular judicial process, can only happen in this small country of ours!

The decision of the Special Court was not to damage the part of the investigation, since the very concept of being suspended is not to damage interests, not to violate evidence, testimonies. Justice or investigations should be left free, until the end of the journey. The decision of the Constitutional Court, dated December 12, 2025, does not have a precedent, not only in Albania, but it can hardly have one in the democratic countries where we aspire to be in the future.

The precedent set by the Constitutional Court paves the way for the government to appeal specific decisions, when its members are affected, to the Constitutional Court. It even paves the way for the defendants themselves to address the court, the "guardian" of the Constitution!

However, more than a final decision, the review of the government's appeal is only a "claim insurance" , which means that, apart from Belinda Balluku's reinstatement, nothing new has happened. The file is under investigation, its two directors, the one of ARRSH or KESH, continue to be under "house arrest". In fact, the legal status of Ms. Balluku continues to be "defendant", accused of two criminal episodes.

The Constitutional Court's decision has prolonged the agony, raised many questions and a host of absurdities. But if the suspension measure is overturned, as was the case in the "securing the lawsuit", and the Special Prosecution requests another security measure and the court approves house arrest or imprisonment, will the police enforce it?!

More than a victory, the Constitutional Court's decision is "buying time" for the majority to reform the government. The evidence is evident, the file is complete, and the Constitutional Court has only reviewed an absurd request from the government.

This time should serve the "defendant" herself or her superior, to dot the "i" . If yesterday they complained that there is no one to replace the director of ARRSH or KESH, now the "defendant " minister can order their dismissal and replacement. Then, it is up to the prime minister to dismiss and appoint the successor of Minister Balluku herself.

If Balluku or even Rama himself won this battle, maybe they will win the next battle on December 22nd, will they declare total war on the Special Prosecution? Will they turn against America or even the EU, which strongly support SPAK?!

More than a victory, the Constitutional Court seems to have fulfilled a wish of the Prime Minister himself, who, feeling obliged in the multi-hour meeting with Balluku, decided to file a counter-suit to defend him. But, time passes and as has been shown by others, for him, names are not important, but longevity in power, which with this opposition, is unlikely to leave before time or in the next mandate.
