Prime Minister Edi Rama has once again reacted regarding the justice institutions in the country. Through a post on the social network “X,” Rama expressed his support for SPAK and the GJKKO but emphasized that it is the government’s duty to prevent any violation of democratic standards.

Rama added that the Socialist Party will share with the public any concerning issues when prosecutors use state security methods to treat someone as guilty.

The Socialist leader stressed that on May 11, Albanians must vote against those who want to dismantle SPAK, referring to the major opposition parties.

He added that if SPAK and the GJKKO fail to remain independent, then it will be the biggest failure for him and the Socialist government in achieving an independent justice system for the first time since 1912.

Rama:
“To be absolutely clear: If SPAK and the GJKKO fail to be independent while ensuring democratic standards, this would not only be our failure, the failure of the Socialist Party, and my personal failure—since we have embarked on this path with full readiness to bear all moral and political costs, along with the mud from the political-media swamp. This would be a major failure for Albania, one that would ‘justify’ all those who, from 1912 until we initiated justice reform, never dared to embark on this journey and never gave justice its independence.

These new institutions are the cornerstone of a historic turning point, and now that their independence is 100% proven—only the notarized idiots of Švejk and the two-legged malignancies of the opposition swamp can still claim that we control them—it is our duty to ensure that the lack of standards and individual abuses of independence do not wash away these foundational stones, aborting the historic mission of fighting corruption.

Likewise, it is our duty to lead to defeat on May 11 those who seek to dissolve SPAK and throw the baby out with the dirty water. We will continue to support SPAK and the GJKKO unwaveringly, but we will also use the sunlight to expose to the public all concerning issues or any case where someone abuses their duty and the trust of the people, taking us back to the times of State Security.

Those who have engaged in corruption should fear justice. Those who do their job should not be afraid of mistakes, and no one should dare to treat them as guilty, pressure them, or seize their phones, and so on. Accusing is easy, proving is difficult—that is why special prosecutors and judges are the highest-paid in this republic, and their institutions are supported by this government like no other.

SPAK has demonstrated that it has the strength to investigate and expose corruption, and we will always support it for this reason. But history has also shown us that the risk of targeting democracy, the state, and the economy in the name of anti-corruption must never be overlooked. And we will not overlook it. That’s all I know. The rest is up to the political-media swamp—you just have to choose: either with justice and democracy or with the swamp and without justice.”
