Berisha: Balluku’s Suspension Does Not Paralyze the Government, this Is a Banal Deception and a Public Self-Humiliation

Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha reacted to repeated claims by Prime Minister Edi Rama that the suspension of Belinda Balluku has blocked the work of the government. Berisha said this is not only a banal deception, but also a public act of self-humiliation.

FULL STATEMENT

Rama: The suspension of “Harpy” has paralyzed the government.

A banal lie and a public self-humiliation.

Rama and his “Harpy” do not dare to enter Parliament.

Dear friends, yesterday the opposition MPs spent the entire day in Parliament holding a public trial of the Rama–Balluku duo for the proven theft of €50 million at the Llogara Tunnel and for Rama’s protection of “Harpya”, in fact, of himself, all the way to the obstruction of justice. In this theft, Rama is the primary culprit, and Balluku will not be abandoned.

A coward and a weak man, he lacked the courage to face the opposition in Parliament over his theft in cooperation with Balluku and the terrible pressure he is exerting by every means on the Constitutional Court. Instead, he chose to respond from his office with ordinary lies and the image of a miserable man. To defend Balluku, in reality, to defend himself, Rama launched the big and banal lie that without Balluku’s signature the state is half-paralyzed, even claiming that an airline route with Canada is being delayed for this reason. This is a banal, self-humiliating lie.

In truth, this is a fabricated and intentional paralysis created by the fellow thieves Rama–Balluku in order to use it as a shield and a line of defense before the Constitutional Court, even though this is the first case in the world where a prime minister turns into the lawyer of his own corrupt minister simply because he himself is the chief thief.

The Constitution and Law No. 9000 on the functioning of the Council of Ministers grant the prime minister the right to personally sign every government decision and act, while the deputy prime minister cannot sign a single act on behalf of the government unless explicitly authorized in writing by the prime minister.

Likewise, the Constitution and the law grant a minister the right, when unable to act personally, to delegate his or her signature to a deputy minister for ministerial acts. (Among other things, according to the “digital citizen,” five ministers have currently delegated their signatures to their deputies.)

Finally, Law No. 9000 on the organization of the Council of Ministers, Article 6, Paragraph 1, states that: “The minister… also performs other duties assigned by the Council of Ministers or by the Prime Minister.”

Therefore, there is absolutely no legal or constitutional obstacle to the functioning of the government due to Balluku’s suspension.

The panel of the Constitutional Court, under sweeping pressure from “Ramaduro,” who unconstitutionally rejected the request of 30 Democratic Party MPs to review the unconstitutional decision of SPAK to restrict my personal movement during the investigation, on the absurd claim that 30 MPs lacked standing, is now set, by an unconstitutional standard, to rule on December 12 on Edi Rama’s request to annul Belinda Balluku’s suspension, in blatant conflict with the law, thus delivering a coup de grâce to the institution meant to guarantee the Constitution.
