Debate with Rama about salaries, the President of the Constitutional Court reacts: We do not feel under pressure

Debate with Rama about salaries, the President of the Constitutional Court

The President of the Constitutional Court, Holta Zaçaj, spoke to the media after the remote debate between Prime Minister Edi Rama and the judges after the latter's union demanded a salary increase of 700 euros. 

She did not call the prime minister's statement pressure and emphasized that it is important for the Constitutional Court to guarantee the public that the court functions independently and impartially, which she did the day before through a statement.

" The implementation of the decisions of the Constitutional Court shows the stage of democracy. We still have work to do, but for the most part our decisions are enforceable... certain decisions for which politics takes its toll if it does not implement them, when we talk about other powers."

"The important thing is that the court is functioning. The court issued a statement yesterday that our duty is to guarantee the public that the court is functioning independently, impartially, of course with the opinions that come from all sides, sometimes even the opinions that the media gives. Basically, it is to assure the public that we are impartial regardless of how they do it... I do not believe that the statement (of Rama) is pressure, they are ordinary statements of the parties in the process, you in the media give more voice to opinions than they should," said Zaçaj.

Let us recall that through a post on X, Rama considered the request of the Union of Judges as a bitter joke, which should not be repeated.
