Fail and be doomed if you do not betray or mistreat your wife page 3 Against businesses with power BY GAZMEND LEVONJA The high official, the seventh of its kind, ended up as one of the wealthiest officials in Albania. Before questions could be put to him in the commission, he was already being counted among four marital violations, joined by possessions and suspicions. But it seems that the bride from the city and society. It seems that the evening fault from the media and the whole battle has now spilled over into the way the state applied the blame to him, taking into account his high public standing. It is not to be believed; it is not surprising that a “verification of figures” can be carried out in Albania. Especially in a country where party and state have been as “brotherly” as they have been tainted, senior officials have stood above the law and successive governments. Transitional Albania is the place where people with connections and money manage to exploit and buy everything, while political power has been mixed with business in every form, taking into account the high level of corruption. Thus, even before being applied, it, like a mask on the moral face, will be easier to bypass in a reality where important names have found new shelters. It is now clear that the newly created commission will not deal only with those who were collaborators of the former security service, but also with those who are found to have seriously violated moral character. It should be understood that in this category there have been many, including ministers, deputies or senior administrators. The project constitutes a strong public shock for a country where adultery, divorce, domestic violence, or even the way property has been divided after divorce, can become part of the dossier on the “purity” of politicians. Without doubt, this will also have the aspect of a moral sanction, as presented by the commission, but it will be just as much a powerful political instrument to strike opponents. If the criteria are applied honestly, as strongly as they have been on paper, then the list of people who may remain outside the institutions will be long. That is why public attention has focused on how the accusations will be proven, who will verify them, and whether the standard will be equal for all. Albania has plenty of such stories, but rarely have they been handled by the state in a uniform manner. In the end, the issue is not only whether an official has violated moral character, but whether this standard will be used to clean up politics or to select unwanted opponents. That is precisely where it will become clear whether the project is an institutional tool or a political weapon.

The constitutional commission continues the row over the council of the assembly Majko: The rule of law is putting pressure on us, but we have 107 votes in parliament The Constitutional Commission is sending out serious signals right from the start of its work, and even more so from the very beginning of its work, because the governing majority is aiming to dismantle this Constitution. In the parliamentary session with a group of Socialist deputies, who have presented variants for establishing the council of the assembly over the influence of the assembly, as an institutional directive and not as an alternative for administrative functioning and action. There may be an error here, but not unlawful politics. Such behavior shows how important the rule is and what cohesion will be in this parliament. The clash over the council of the assembly has become a new constitutional test in Albania. Opposition representatives have called it a dangerous intervention, while the majority, fearing accusations of conservatism, is on the move to secure the mechanisms. The Constitutional Commission is one of the most important links in decision-making, since it determines the basic rules and structures of state organization. Any deviation from it in the service of short-term political interests undermines public trust and makes the path toward institutional consolidation uncertain.
