"In the case of Balluk, the investigation by SPAK is not affected"/

The Chairman of the Socialist Party Parliamentary Group, Taulant Balla, spoke this evening regarding the decision to reject SPAK's request for Belinda Balluku's immunity.

Balla stated in a television show that today's decision was appropriate in terms of respecting the constitutional norm. Among other things, he emphasized that in the case of MP Balluku, the investigation is not affected by the lack of authorization.

"The wish of many people is for the justice reform to fail, but the majority, including the Socialist Party, want the reform to deepen its success. What we have made public today is a right decision, at the right time in terms of respecting the constitutional norm. In the Republic of Albania, there is no immunity for anyone. We are among the few countries that have this, we must say that the EU member states, for the most part. 3-4 days ago, a request was voted in the Czech parliament to lift the immunity of the prime minister for investigation. It can only be investigated if he is not re-elected. In the case of colleague Balluku, the investigation is not affected by the failure to grant authorization ," Balla said.

Among other things, he added that the SP has assessed that SPAK's request is not based on evidence that Balluku is tampering with evidence. Balla stressed that the Assembly is within its right not to grant the authorization on Thursday.

"The prosecution is within its right to conduct the investigation and we assess that this request is not based on evidence that Balluku is tampering with evidence. There is no risk that he could escape, he has shown correctness and above all what we have said today is the same message that we have always said. Balluku will fight the battle himself with his lawyers. Why is the SP taking a different stance? This is the first time that we are faced with such a decision for an offense that may not be punishable by arrest. The accusation must be investigated, but it does not constitute a serious accusation. The accusation is for violating equality in tenders, for all the others there was no precautionary measure of imprisonment without a court decision. The Assembly is within its right not to grant the authorization on Thursday ," said Balla. /CNA
