The Constitutional Court is facing a litmus test in the Balluku case. The constitutional judges must answer the questions: Is the decision of the Constitutional Court that suspended the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Infrastructure from office in accordance with the Constitution? Or is the decision an interference in the affairs of the executive, as the Prime Minister claims? Through an interim decision, the Constitutional Court decided to temporarily reinstate Balluku in office.
While in the session on January 22, it heard arguments for and against the issue. It must now announce the verdict. On Tuesday, sources said that for a few minutes, the members of the Constitutional Court met, but did not reach a decision on the issue.
Some of them asked for more time to consider the arguments. Thus, a second meeting is expected. The date and time have not yet been set. But while all eyes are on the Constitutional Court, almost the entire diplomatic corps in the country has entered and exited the latter's doors, and Balluku has likely been a topic of discussion.
The Constitutional Court has not yet said her word, while tomorrow at the Council of Mandates and Immunity the "latter of the sheets" will be opened and the contents of the 160 thousand-page SPAK file will come to light, if the session is open. As these developments occur, one thing is certain; the hours are crucial for the most powerful woman in the SP, while the Constitutional Court is in the spotlight to demonstrate decision-making that is not influenced by politics or other factors.
