Revolt begins in the camp of Albanian lawyers

Complaint to the Constitutional Court Revolt begins in the camp of Albanian lawyers Lawyers sent by the coalition are blocking all court proceedings. Motive: 'No to training' TIRANA - The lawyers of Tirana are requesting, through a complaint sent to the Constitutional Court, the annulment of the decision of the Council of Ministers to postpone judicial activity. According to them, this decision undermines the rule of law, the independence of the judiciary and the right of citizens to be heard by a court. In their denunciation, Albanian lawyers state that this move is undertaken without any constitutional basis and that the courts cannot suspend their activity by an administrative order. The lawyers of Tirana are also requesting the immediate suspension of the decision until the case is definitively examined. In their view, the blocking of court proceedings paralyzes the justice system, harms the interests of citizens and creates a dangerous precedent. SHKODËR - In another public reaction, the Lawyers’ Association expresses its opposition to the measures taken in the name of the state of emergency. They consider that the courts should continue to function normally and that any restriction must be based on law and not on political interpretations. Furthermore, the lawyers warn that they will pursue all legal avenues to defend the profession and the rights of citizens. The Tirana College of Lawyers
