Internationals who don't make noise

Prime Minister Edi Rama publicly instructed the High Inspector of Justice, his subordinate, Artur Metani, to initiate the process against the GJKKO judge, Erjon Bani. The refrain that we as a majority do not comment on the decisions of the judiciary is now in the trash. But the problem is elsewhere. Partners.

When Sali Berisha attacked SPAK and the justice reform, the partners were always there to defend their investment by issuing immediate official reactions.

But Sali Berisha only has the word. When the majority comes into play, the problem becomes more complex. Because the majority has the power and the prime minister did not hide at all when he told Metan to investigate Bani and Duman to investigate how the judge gave the "Marsh Owl" the details of the "Toyota Auris" file. He even warned them not to bother him with his phone.

Will the partners react with official positions? Will the US embassy issue a statement in defense of SPAK and the judge who is being threatened by the Executive?

Will the EU's Gonzatua appear before journalists to defend the justice reform from government attacks? What about the British?

Furthermore, will the impartial sages of the KLP, KLGJ, etc., react to the open attacks against prosecutors and judges, as they reacted with zeal when Berisha made them?

Everyone is at a crossroads. Meanwhile, at the American embassy, ??someone will now be writing a statement like the following:

"We welcome the condemnation by the KLP-KLGJ of the direct and indirect attacks against SPAK and GJKKO in recent days.

We will continue to stand by the overwhelming majority of Albanian citizens who support the new justice institutions and the key role they play in Albania's democracy.

The United States stands with law enforcement professionals and will support all those who seek to end impunity.”

Or not?

They don't need to bother too much about the text because they have it ready, from previous reactions when Saliu attacked SPAK.

These are interesting times.

But in the meantime, it must be said that partners, especially the Americans, have an additional motive to react.
