Despite Prime Minister Edi Rama's public statements that he has requested the resignation of all directors of the administration, the heads of public institutions are continuing their duties as normal, turning this initiative into a "game" without official consequences.
The most recent administrative clash was recorded during the budget discussion, where Democratic Party MP Isuf Çela asked the General Director of Prisons, Sadleva Bodo, about her official status:
"Did the prime minister accept your resignation? He asked all the directors. I want to know if you will be the ones to execute the 2027 budget that you are asking for."
For her part, the Chief Director of Prisons completely stepped outside the political narrative of mass resignations, responding briefly and coldly:
"I have been appointed by decision of the Council of Ministers. For any changes to this decision, please consult the QBZ (Centre for Official Publications)."
Her response reveals the legal uncertainty of political statements about "collected resignations": as long as there is no new decision in the Official Publications Center, the directors who are being asked to leave continue to protect and execute state budgets with full powers.
