Rama warns of legal intervention after Constitutional Court's indecision: Constitutional functions cannot be suspended
Prime Minister Edi Rama has made public three conclusions from the meeting of the Socialist Parliamentary Group and warned of interference in legislation regarding the fact that the Constitutional Court failed to reach a decision on his appeal regarding the suspension of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku.
In his statement, Rama emphasizes that constitutional functions are inviolable and that the suspension of an official does not only affect the individual, but paralyzes the institution itself.
"Constitutional non-delegable functions cannot be suspended by anyone, because suspension paralyzes the function, that is, the institution that he/she leads ," the Prime Minister said.
He also refers to the public statement of the Constitutional Court, emphasizing that its members are unanimous on the existence of the problem, but divided on the way to solve it. In this context, Rama announces that the majority will intervene through legal amendments.
"The socialist parliamentary group will be committed to the solution through intervention in legislation," he declares.
According to Rama, the only party not affected by the reinstatement of the suspension is SPAK, which can continue its investigations normally.
The Prime Minister's full reaction on the X network
3 conclusions from the Parliamentary Group meeting after the Constitutional Court's indecision and the reinstatement of the minister's suspension from:
1. Non-delegable constitutional functions, from that of a member of the government to that of the President of the Republic and beyond, cannot be suspended by anyone based on a specific name, because suspension paralyzes the function, that is, the institution that he/she heads.
2. Based on the reading of the public statement of the Constitutional Court, where all members of the body appear unanimous regarding the problem, but are divided on the solution, the socialist parliamentary group will engage in a solution through intervention in legislation.
3. The only party satisfied by the reinstatement of the suspension is SPAK, which under the conditions of the suspension can continue the relevant investigation quite calmly, while until the legal resolution is addressed, there is no urgency to address the request that SPAK made after the suspension measure was lifted.
An addition from my side:
SPAK is not affected, only supported. The freedom and right of every prosecutor to investigate any matter are not affected, only guaranteed. The constitutional independence of the legislative and executive branches are also not affected. Only guaranteed.
