The Mandates Council will meet on February 23, at 10:00, to review SPAK's request to lift Belinda Balluku's immunity.
Meanwhile, the SP parliamentary group also met today, where it proposed the initiative for legal changes to the Criminal Procedure Code. The proposal bears the signatures of Prime Minister Edi Rama, the chairman of the Laws Committee, Ulsi Manja, and the chairman of the SP group, Taulant Balla.
According to the proposal, seven new subjects are added to whom the security measure of suspension of office cannot be extended. These are the President, the Ombudsman, the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister, ministers, members of the Constitutional Court and the President of the High Council of State.
Prime Minister Edi Rama said that the decision to suspend a minister is scandalous and unjustifiable as it does not affect the person, but the function. According to him, the proposed legal changes do not affect the judicial power and stated that the executive power is independent in its right to make decisions.
"It is not necessary for everything to be written in the letter of the law, if the spirit of the constitution is clear, the guidelines for all those who live under that constitution are clear.
What makes it scandalous, unjustifiable and unacceptable for a prosecutor and judge to suspend a member of the government cabinet in a preliminary hearing without starting a trial is the fact that the suspension does not affect the person, who is presumed to be under investigation. The suspension affects the function. All those functions that Manja brought as part of the initiative group for this change are functions that cannot be exercised without the person. When a minister is suspended, it is not simply the suspension of an individual's work, but the suspension of the work of an institution," said Rama.
He announced that Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku has submitted her resignation to him three times, but he has not accepted it because, according to him, "there is no resignation under pressure and in violation of executive power."
The head of government stated, among other things, that this initiative and the case for immunity against Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku in the Assembly are unrelated. He emphasized that the issue of immunity will be addressed first and then the amendments will be put to a vote.
