Democratic leader Sali Berisha, against whom SPAK has filed corruption charges and whose file is in the GJKKO, considered the justice reform as an extreme experiment that was applied in Albania on Tuesday.
Berisha said that the justice reform in Albania was secretly designed in a secret document of the Open Society Foundation.
" This foundation had drafted a strategy in which it defined profound changes, constitutional reform, justice system reform, and electoral reform.
I will not stop here now on the 10-year history, but it is normal and we have asked for the help of our friends, the Adenauer Foundation, to study this reality, so that it is not accepted as a taboo, because taboos are typical phenomena for dictatorships and autocracies.
For a free and democratic system, reforms are its constant.
But, if we take a 10-year balance sheet of this reform carried out by the extreme left, what is it?
The first is the denial of the right of Albanians, not by law, but by facts and reality, to have a fair legal process.
Albanians, ever since the 1990s until this process was implemented, have not had a perfect legal process, but they have had an acceptable legal process.
This acceptable legal process has enabled Albania to join the Council of Europe, sign the Stabilization and Association Agreement, sign the visa liberalization agreement, receive the EC recommendation for candidate status, and become a full member of NATO.
"Anyone who reads the EC reports, which I have always appreciated, these reports, for a country to progress, had two major requirements, a functioning rule of law, a functioning market economy ," Berisha said.
According to him, another dramatic, anti-democratic, unconstitutional aspect of it is the prosecutor's police-like control over the judge who hands over the file.
Berisha said that this was not even the case during the dictatorship.
"How can it be claimed in a free country to put the judge under surveillance of the prosecutor, who sends him the files, there is no more evil mind than the extreme left, which seeks at all costs to seek justice with anti-constitutional mechanisms, can impose such a law. And you see what kind of protection they are giving this system with propaganda. So the head of the special prosecution comes out and says that the judge will almost certainly do what we tell him. Of course, because segments of the recordings they make of the judges are distributed everywhere, even to my phone as a digital citizen. Then let's remove it, why have judges, we have the prosecutor and that's it. This is an unimaginable police control", said Berisha.
