"SPAK debunked the myth that the powerful are not investigated"/ The Washington Post: Courage to exercise accountability through the law
The American newspaper "The Washington Post" has dedicated...

Lawyer Ylli Manjani has expressed his position regarding recent political developments, emphasizing that today's decision issued by the Special Court is leaving Albanians without a government.
Through an opinion written by him, Manjani states that members of the government are protected by the same immunity as elected officials and that this case could become a precedent.
"Of course, the judiciary has the right to suspend public officials, but not elected officials. Members of the government are protected by the same immunity as elected officials, except for the fact that Ms. Ballulu is also elected."
But the GJKKO did not suspend Balluk today, but the government.
First of all, the deputy prime minister is the prime minister. He does not make any proposals for cabinet changes, he does everything else. In a situation where the Prime Minister is physically unable to be in office and the deputy prime minister is suspended, the country is without a government. This is the goal of justice, to leave the country without a government?!
No power has the right to leave the country without a government.
Secondly, with this precedent, the judiciary has given itself a mandate to change the government whenever it wants. Because tomorrow, with an anonymous letter, it can open an investigation into the Prime Minister or the entire government (or they haven't gotten their hands on this structured criminal group) and the GJKKO suspends them for destroying evidence.
Oh?
Why does justice choose governments?!
That's why I say that this judicial intervention over the executive is a coup.
Immunity was invented as a concept not to protect the office holder, but to protect and guarantee the independence of one power from another.
Justice today has brutally intervened in the executive branch. And this is unacceptable.
We don't have generals and an army to carry out a coup, but we have prosecutors who feel like the owners of the Republic. They feel like they are acting as superiors to other powers that emerge from the vote.
Even those military men, when they stage a coup, say things like our SPAK: "we are fighting corruption"....
It's a coup d'état of the republic of prosecutors, what's the deal with it!
That's why the laws prohibit the suspension of elected officials from office. Precisely to prevent the coup d'état of the appointed.
It would have been completely normal, within the anomaly they have created, to request a prison sentence for Mr. Balluku, or to apply another measure. That way, the measure would be individualized and there would be no reason to confuse it with the functioning of the government.
But the suspension in this case is a coup.
The Constitutional Court is paid for by this state, for this day.
That's it.

The popular and populist discussions about impunity and "palloša" and "Belinda" are another topic and I can agree with many of the findings.
But the coup deserves primary attention!
Personally, I feel good that things have come to this point because when I spoke, no one believed me... But I have been, am and will be with the state and state order.
"Any association that attempts to link my positions with individuals is inappropriate and disgusting," Manjani writes. /CNA
