The 4-4 decision of the Constitutional Court regarding the suspension of Belinda Balluku from office rejected the request submitted by the Prime Minister on a matter of high political and institutional importance, but also showed the fear of justice to give a clear decision when faced with power.

The 4-4 vote was widely commented on, among others by former senior socialist official Ermelinda Meksi, who defines it as the product of a "balance of fear" and as a serious alarm for justice reform, emphasizing that the cost of indecision is paid by the system and public trust.

This analysis, however elegant in theory, is belated and truncated in essence. Therefore, more than one question arises.
Why did Ms. Meksi and her ilk remain silent when signs of the distortion of justice reform and the spread of corruption in government became apparent and required public reaction?
Why don't they talk about the misuse of public money?
Why don't they react when someone pays high costs due to injustice and selective attacks by the government?

When Mrs. Meksi was in power, there were debates within the party and the government. There was open talk about abuses and violations. Today, criticism and debate have disappeared, denouncing scandals and the misuse of public money has no voice, due to fear or vested interests.

Turning to the 4-4 Constitutional Court decision, Ms. Meksi talks about “rational actors” and “balances of fear,” but in reality it is about concrete people, about judges chosen by politics, to do justice in this country. Those Constitutional Court judges with real experience, who recognize justice as a profession and not as an appointment, voted against theft and corruption. The other half, with no judicial history and no real decision-making on their CV, chose to defend the power and immunity of the defendant for abuse of public money.

And while they vote like this, the country is collapsing. Not figuratively, but really. Newly built roads are being torn down one after another, despite the staggering costs, among the highest in Europe and the Balkans. Millions of euros burned, failed projects, no one responsible, no resignations, no punishment.
In Europe, for a plane ticket paid for by the state budget, they resign. In the time of Mrs. Meksi, resignations were given for various violations. Today, not only do they not resign, but violators find public, institutional and legal protection. Defenders of violators know that tomorrow may be their turn. Therefore, they neutralize the law, delay and hold hostage its implementation within the institutions that should actually do justice.

Now it is the turn of the Assembly, which must consider SPAK's request to lift the immunity of MP Belinda Balluku. The lifting of her immunity, despite the majority's efforts to delay and drag it out, is an inevitable act, as was her removal from executive functions as Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure.

Despite the political battle and the influence that Balluku has exerted on institutions, including efforts to extend his hand over constitutional and parliamentary decision-making, in the end, justice, although it may be delayed and encounter obstacles, cannot be stopped by power, corruption, or the silence of opportunists, the irresponsible, and the corrupt.
Justice will find its way!
