KLP, who will replace Alfred Balla after the KPA "bomb", here is the name of the contender who has the majority of votes in the Council

In Albania, the chairman of the High Council of Prosecution (KLP) Alfred Balla will no longer be part of the justice system for the next 15 years, and as a result "no judge or prosecutor of any level can be appointed as a member of the Council of the High Judicial Council or the High Prosecution Council, High Inspector of Justice or General Prosecutor". The decision was taken on Tuesday by the Special Appeal Board (KPA), the highest structure of the process of re-evaluation of judges and prosecutors, as it had worked until 2017, when the new Justice Reform laws came into force. as a legal advisor in the Supreme Court. But who will be the name that will replace Balla? As the Assembly has restarted the procedure of selecting candidates from the ranks of the legal profession and civil society to fill the vacancies in the High Judicial Council and the vacancies in the High Prosecution Council, the "SOT" newspaper has learned that the name of the contender who is expected to replace Balla it's Arta Mandro. It is said that she has the majority of votes in the KLP because at the time when Altin Dumani was elected as the head of the Special Prosecutor's Office, the vote of Arta Mandros was decisive. It was Mandro who chose the man of the Americans at the head of SPAK, unlike Alfred Balla, who voted for Edvin Kondil, the majority's preference. The newspaper reported that at that time there was a strong clash between Rama and the Americans, but that in the end the USA showed the country by placing their man. In the case of the KLP, this time the American preference is Mandro to replace Balla, while the socialists want to catapult Erind Merkur.

Alibeajt accusations

Two days ago, the deputy of the Democratic Party, Enkelejd Alibeaj, in the Laws Committee, while discussing the establishment of the sub-committee for the vacancies of the KLP and the KLJ, accused the majority of trying to appoint its own people to the judiciary with the aim of caught SPAK. "The General Secretary of the Assembly has disqualified 6 candidates. At first glance, there is one thing: either the Ombudsman has failed to assess the criteria and conditions of the documentation, or the general secretary of the Assembly, a subordinate of the majority, has acted politically in a very short time. From the analysis of how the parliament has approached the judicial system, this is a politically oriented movement that has been executed by the Secretary General. This shows what your approach is with the stand-alone system. The same story continues to catch the justice authorities. Through the General Secretary, those who are not in the court of the majority are cleared and those who are not in the court of the majority are left. 4 of the candidates that the People's Advocate has ranked above have been disqualified. You want to appoint your people to capture the head of SPAK", Alibeaj said. We remind you that the Laws Commission voted to set up a sub-committee for the vacancies of the KLP and KLJ, with socialist members Klotilda Bushka, Damian Gjiknuri and Klevis Xhoxhi, while from the ranks of the opposition Gazment Bardhi and Dhurata Çupi. However, the established subcommittee has the right to reinstate the candidates disqualified by the Secretary General of the Assembly with 4 votes. When there is no consensus, the names from the list are chosen by lot and if the Assembly fails in 3 consecutive votes to elect the new members of the KLJ and KLP with 84 votes, those who have been chosen by lot for the third round are automatically called appointed. .
