Prime Minister Edi Rama reacts after the Constitutional Court reviewed his appeal against the suspension of Belinda Balluku from office, a decision that was made by the GJKKO, after the official was named as a defendant in the Llogara tunnel case. 

Reaction: 

Many words are nonsense, find a second case in the world where a prosecutor and a judge - moreover, a first-instance judge - suspend a member of the government from office!

Telling me that this is so normal, even though it has never been seen, anywhere, in the democratic world, is the same as telling me that justice is only normal in Albania! Well, despite the fact that from day 1 I have been, am and will be the most unwavering supporter of the Reform and Independence of Justice, this world innovation of our new justice, I cannot call it anything other than one of those falls of a child when he has just learned to walk.

With the difference that when a real child falls, he only hurts himself, while when justice slips like this time, it violates constitutional principles, disrupts the balance between independent powers and brutally interferes in the governing process. Let us be clear: The high goal of the fight against corruption does not justify the use of any wrong means, and the history of countries that have previously gone down this necessary path teaches us that justifying wrong means for the sake of a greater goal turns the cure with such means into an even greater evil than the disease itself that these means are said to be curing. This lesson should never be forgotten. By anyone.
