The court can insist like a mule that its decisions are "final and binding", but stop beg that there is a gap. There is a court, but there is also a Parliament.
The Constitutional Court, the final arbiter of justice, is the source of inspiration for a comedy where the main character is the Parliament. Today, on July 10, 2024, the Court announced that: its decision of January 23, 2023, has not yet been implemented by the Assembly!
Think back to Socrates, the Greek philosopher who was condemned to drink the cup of poison. He was told to leave the cell, but chose to comply with the decision.
Parliament has taken on the role of the Athenian jury, only this time the victim is not a philosopher, but the authority of the court. Unlike Socrates, the Constitutional Court is not drinking poison, but is trying to implement the decision it made 18 months ago.
In "The Process" by Franz Kafka, Joseph K. finds himself in an endless labyrinth of bureaucratic absurdity. Now imagine the Constitutional Court making decisions that are treated by Parliament as if they were municipal police fines or restaurant waiter tips. Kafka would be proud.
Why the hell should MPs implement court decisions? Is it not enough that the majority has approved the justice reform? What do judges want most?
The court can insist like a mule that its decisions are "final and binding", but stop beg that there is a gap. There is a court, but there is also a Parliament.
The Court's insistence on the rule of law is admirable, but perhaps it is time to acknowledge the absurdity and arrogance of the majority who should be thanked for reforming the judiciary and have not yet thought of setting up a parliamentary committee to take a closer look how is the justice reform going in the Constitutional Court!
Imagine a match where the referee awards a penalty but the players decide it's the end of the game. What's happening? Chaos guaranteed. The fans rebel. The referee's authority on the field is there to ensure justice and order. Without respecting the decisions of the referee, the game goes out of play!
For example, for the Albanian parliament, the English judge should have given a penalty for Germany in the match against Spain. The fact that he didn't give it means nothing. For our Parliament, Germany, not Spain, made it to the European finals.
