Rama's reaction:
I welcome the statements of the embassies of the United Kingdom and Germany, with the principles expressed in which we all very much agree, 100%.
But since both came out today, when the Parliament rightly refused to deprive a deputy of her freedom in the complete absence of conditions to take such an extreme step and, at the same time, since the Tirana Molotov Association has also begun to speak on behalf of Germany, I take this opportunity to emphasize: This governing majority has a divided mind and an unwavering compass: Albania 2030 in the European Union Justice Reform does not go back, the independence of the judiciary is not affected and support for SPAK remains unwavering.
The real fight against corruption continues, more persistent than ever, as the updated objective overview of the European Commission clearly shows.
Belinda Balluku is not accused of corruption and the investigation of the case must continue, undisturbed neither by the obstruction nor by the SPAK's interference, by factors outside the boundaries of the independent judicial power. The governing majority did today without any discussion what any democratic parliament in Europe would do, where the passing of the prosecution's requests not for the arrest without trial of a deputy, but for whether or not to start investigations, is nowhere like the crossing of borders in the Schengen area without any kind of control.
It is a serious process, based on constitutional and legal norms, which are neither carte blanche nor closed doors for the prosecution. Today we have fully respected those norms and whoever claims the opposite has his indisputable right, but there are not enough arguments to win the debate on the existence or not of the border between independent constitutional powers, which the Albanian parliament closed today by showing that the dignity of parliamentarians is not material for socio-political experiments, which make the cure more dangerous than the disease it must fight! Let's move forward, Albania has no plan
