"Open the land!"/ Rama: There is no reflection on the horizon of

Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke at length at today's meeting of the Socialist Party's parliamentary group on the situation with judges, with whom there have been recent clashes.

According to Rama, so far there has been no reflective step by the judiciary, as it focused on demands for salary increases, but also on the decision on commissions.

Rama said that the pressure mentioned by the judges in their statements is nothing more than an attempt to forget their actions during the 'Berisha' government.

"With the decision of a preliminary hearing unheard of in the history of the world. The attempt of the association of representatives of the judiciary to increase the salary by court. How can it be that in a republic with 3 branches of power, the judiciary determines the salaries and taxes of a country? What is but an intervention of the Constitutional Court's decision as the President has decided to divide the parliamentary committees. Open the door! Our opinion is that this phase is temporary. On the contrary, we neither have an independent and professional judiciary, nor a functional state. An administration without fear of making a decision, even for the purchase of toilet paper. It is part of a kilometer-long chain of ideas created by fear. I repeat, these are lessons that other countries have issued with certain delays. Albania does not have this luxury, therefore they should be taken into consideration by everyone, as long as they have not touched the marrow. There are thousands of studies and doctorates on this topic. But I have hope and I am waiting for it "I will continue in this spirit, despite the brutality of prosecutors and judges. When a sentence even greater than that of the first-level court is given, these are terrible facts. But there is no reflection on the horizon of the judicial power. When I raise such concerns, they stick me like a postage stamp, like drums do on wedding days. Essentially, I raise serious problems. The writers of those useless statements, when they write the word 'pressure', it is good to remember where they were hiding when my predecessor was there", - said Rama./CNA
