Rama reacts again on judges' salaries: They want increases from April 2023,

Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted again regarding the Administrative Court's decision on judges' salaries, describing it as an unusual decision-making.

In a post on the "X" platform, Rama says that the decision is not only related to the immediate 51% salary increase, but also to the request for back payments since April 2023.

According to Rama, if this request were implemented, the amount of arrears would reach around 130.5 million euros, while the Prime Minister questions the method and basis of this decision-making.

"I feel for the partial information on yesterday's indiscretion of the Administrative Court, which, through the first lawsuit in world history not to stop an act but to carry out an act, is not only demanding an immediate 51% increase in salaries for judges, but also "arrears" from April 2023, because according to them, their salaries should have been increased by then as much as they want to increase them now."

"Find in the attached table how much each judge would personally receive tomorrow as back pay, if the finance minister were to break the law and go after the berihaji of this extra-parliamentary decision-making," Rama writes.
