Albania's aspiration for a justice system independent of politics is now very great, but it will also be the end of a justice system dependent on international diplomacy.
The main debate in Albania now is whether the US has withdrawn its support for the new judiciary or not, and who will be their guarantor in the future, the socialists who are expected to gain a majority, or the European Union.
The fact that today this is the biggest concern of Albanian society shows that in fact we have built a justice system independent of Albanian politics, but not of ambassadors. This perception is further promoted in the public by the actors of the new justice system themselves, who appear excited in front of ambassadors, as if in front of a teacher, and arrogant in front of the leaders of the Albanian state.
Both were extreme positions. They could have behaved more professionally in front of both parties.
The truth is that not only SPAK, but the entire world has suddenly found itself faced with a new US policy in the world, which is also treating the European Union as its adversary.
It would be enough to illustrate this with two major meetings that took place today, one in Riyadh and the other in Paris.
In Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, the US and Russia agreed today on three important things. First, to work through diplomatic teams to restore functioning diplomatic teams in both countries; second, to form a high-level team to lead talks on ending the war in Ukraine; and most importantly, to begin identifying opportunities to cooperate with the Russians, both from a geopolitical and economic perspective.
On the other hand, European leaders gathered in Paris to discuss the current situation with the US, with the strengthening of the far right, now with support from the US senior administration and the lukewarm possibility of expanding the European alliance with other democratic countries like Canada.
Now, in all this global scene created by the new White House policy, in all this global uncertainty and arrogance towards the existing policies that have created the framework of world security, this debate in Albania about who will be the guarantor of SPAK and the new justice system is a bit ridiculous and completely out of focus.
Hoping that you will have an answer to this, especially from Washington, at this moment is torture in itself.
Albania, fortunately, is not at the center of this global cyclone, but it may experience the consequences of this great division, as part of the aspiration to integrate into the European Union.
The fate of Albania will also be determined by the fate of transatlantic relations between Europe and the US in the future.
While SPAK and the new justice system have only one precaution: that of independence from politics and non-interference in politics, by standardizing their decisions so that they are not selective and vindictive, and by setting themselves priorities that give justice a chance in Albania.
Albania's aspiration for a justice system independent of politics is now very great, but it will also be the end of a justice system dependent on international diplomacy.
The unexpected changes in the world themselves are a lesson in how the new Albanian justice system must stop thinking like a justice system of ambassadors and rely on its own feet, on the standards it creates, and on the seriousness with which it responds to the need for justice in Albania.
Albania has its own problems, with political pressures to influence justice, with promises to dismantle it or protect it, and it would be excessive for our justice system to now also become a conduit for crises in world diplomacy.
