Balluk's suspension, Balla: The Constitution is above the Criminal

The chairman of the SP parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, spoke about the appeal that Prime Minister Edi Rama filed with the Constitutional Court regarding the clarification of whether the Court exceeded its powers with the decision to suspend the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy, Belinda Balluku.

Balla said that the Court has made a decision that exceeds the country's Constitution, as there is no law that recognizes the appointment, dismissal and suspension of the minister.

" I am telling you with deep conviction that when the decision was issued, I thought it was a slip of the tongue, because it was not in mind that there could be judges in Albania... because it referred to a law that cannot exceed the Constitution. The Constitutional Court has a clear answer, the Constitution, a deputy is not suspended and neither is a minister suspended. There is no country in the world where a minister is appointed, dismissed and suspended. If a judge has to make a decision to suspend another judge, he cannot do it himself. There is only one solution here. The Constitutional Court must say that the Constitution is also enriched with suspension, or as I see it, like the deputy, the minister is not suspended. When the act of suspension occurred, my colleague minister was also deprived of the right to delegate work to someone else. In the case we are in, the prime minister is unable to delegate anything, since he is obliged to make delegations to the deputy prime minister ," Balla said on the "Opinion" show.

Based on this statement, Balla said that even in the case of the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, whose passport was blocked, the Constitutional Court did not interpret the law. According to him, Berisha's freedom was also restricted at a time when he was a member of the Albanian Parliament.

" I am loyal to the principle that the freedom of a deputy in all its forms cannot be affected without the Parliament expressing its opinion. I am the person who filed the complaint against the person in question. But I can say that in the case in question, in my judgment, the Court did not give the best interpretation that even the removal of the passport is a restriction of freedom... ", said Balla.
