Why is Edi Rama risking an embarrassing situation, which could even lead to a clash with the Constitutional Court or even with internationals, to keep Olta Xhaçka, when the mandate of the assembly ends in a few months?
The majority is resisting beyond any reason, even clashing with the Constitutional Court for the mandate of Olta Xhaçka.
The Assembly still does not give the green light to the institution that interprets the Constitution to make a decision on whether the former Minister of Defense and Foreign Affairs can still retain the mandate of the deputy.
According to all previous precedents, such as Kokëdhima or Beqja, the decision is expected to be the same, that is, to remove the mandate, since Xhaçka, namely her family, has benefited from a government benefit, such as the status of a strategic investor.
But why is Edi Rama risking an embarrassing situation, which could even lead to a clash with the Constitutional Court or even with the international community, to keep Olta Xhaçka, when the mandate of the assembly ends in a few months?
As is known, the rabbit sleeps elsewhere. Rama is afraid that the removal of the mandate will make it possible for the former minister not to have immunity protection for the issue of interception, control or arrest.
As is known, Olta Xhaçka has been called to SPAK several times after the denunciations made to him by the former commander of the Fleet Artur Meçollari, regarding the giving of army properties to some private companies.
A possible release from Bablok could have the "danger" that Xhaçka will speak and open up about all the issues, putting him at risk as well.
As has been said even after the changes in the government, Rama removed Niko Peleshi from the position of Minister of Defense, precisely because the latter refused to sign the transfer of other army properties to the private hands, or more precisely to the Prime Minister's clients. Some time ago, it was learned that NATO also received the inventory of Albanian military assets, in order to have an overview of the logistics, in a possible conflict involvement or joint combat organization.
As such, the military headquarters of the alliance has been informed about the bases that can be used by the troops or even the air and sea fleet.
Even NATO is in the verification process for the government's request to take over a part of the port of Porto Romano, which is expected to be built after the conversion of the Port of Durrës into a tourist port, from the Alabar project.
However, the Albanian army still has some "small" parts in its ownership since Enver's time, mainly in the Ion area, that are coveted by investors. The first is Sazani, who has been rumored for Trump's son-in-law project. But Sazani is still a military base, and for this to happen, the Minister of Defense must sign the transfer of ownership to the Ministry of Finance, which then passes it through the legal privatization procedures.
This is precisely why Edi Rama changed the government, it seems that he did not have faith in Niko Peleshi and Ervin Mete who could carry out these procedures easily. That's why the new ministers, who have been directors for a long time, have signatures in similar cases on their record. But Sazani is not the only military property expected to be transferred, as the Porto Palermo tunnel has just been opened and can be developed as a tourist attraction.
But if a process against Xhaçka regarding the army's properties is started with fanfare, the whole operation can be compromised, the big political and media noise that is expected to explode can blow everything up.
First, driving away investors, then other consequences. That's why Rama is holding Xhaçka's mandate hostage, so that he doesn't open the lid, at least until the new elections./ Pamphlet
