The High Prosecutorial Council announced today the postponement of the interviews for the selection of the new head of SPAK, one of the most important processes of the new justice system. The meeting, scheduled for December 4, was postponed to December 11, with the argument that one of the members of the KLP has health problems.
But the KLP's announcement raises more questions than it provides clarifications. All the missing facts should be part of the minimal transparency that this institution owes to the public. In fact, the KLP has not even announced the name of the sick member.
When a key process such as the election of the head of SPAK is postponed, the public should know who the unable member is and what impact his absence has on decision-making. Transparency is an obligation, not a will.
The questions that the KLP must answer immediately are:
– Who is the sick member?
– What is his health condition?
– Is there a medical guarantee that he will be ready on December 11 or will there be another postponement?
– Why was online participation not considered?
– Why is such an important process postponed with just one sentence without any explanatory details?
The election of the head of SPAK is not a routine meeting.
It requires seriousness, transparency and full explanations. Until the KLP provides an answer, this remains a postponement without sufficient argumentation and a first bad signal for a process that should have been an example of transparency.
