The majority did not accept on Monday a request of the opposition in the parliamentary Laws Committee to summon the director of the Magistrate's School, Arben Rakipi, to a hearing, after the problems encountered with the admission competition during this month.
The head of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi, requested the commitment of this commission to clarify what he called the "shadow of scandal" in the School of Magistrates, while alluding that the winning list of future magistrates included "patronageists" of the Party Socialist.
"It is not understood why there were 70 winners on the first day, 120 at dinner and 140 the next day. While you have made public the list of patron Nazis and 13 people who have won are on the list," Bardhi addressed his socialist colleagues.
"The fact that he is patronizing does not mean that he cannot make a career, but transparency is needed on what happened," he added.
Bardhi insisted that the Law Commission had the right to call director Arben Rakipi to a hearing to clarify the Assembly and the public. But his request was considered political by the socialists and an attempt to interfere in the affairs of the justice bodies.
Deputy Pandeli Majko said that the Magistrate's School does not depend on the Parliament, but on other justice structures. "Don't politicize it and say that those who have won are patronageists, this is ridiculous", said Majko, describing Bardhi's concern as fair, but outside the powers of the parliament.
The chairwoman of the Laws Commission, Klotilda Bushka, suggested that the concern about this competition be raised during the hearings with the heads of the governing bodies of justice, who are on the governing board of the Magistrate.
"We must be within our constitutional role in relation to justice," Bushka insisted, asking opposition MPs to have faith in justice, because according to her, "they have internal accountability mechanisms" and "are strictly monitored by international partners".
Other MPs of the opposition also learned about the issue, calling this an important process for the future of the justice system, since this school certifies young judges and prosecutors.
The Magistrate's School changed within a few hours the number of successful candidates in the first stage of the entrance exam for this school and then clarified that there had been a technical problem with the assessment due to the malfunction of the Scantron device.
According to the announcement, the problem was solved by re-evaluating the tests with a new Scantron device, but the process was contested by some of the unsuccessful candidates.
Despite the opposition, the School of Magistrates organized on Monday the second exam of the second stage of admission, a process that will identify the winners for the academic year 2024-2025. / BIRN
