While SPAK handcuffed the last accused for corruption with the Fier incinerator, Prime Minister Edi Rama and his deputy Arben Ahmetaj, appeared seemingly unperturbed in Kavaja.
Inaugurating homes in a public signal that for them, Tuesday was a “business as usual” day. But after a while it was proved that it was not so. SPAK asked a socialist MP to put him behind bars. As a collaborator of Lefter Koka!
Lefter Koka, former Minister of Environment, in December last year proved the coldness of the handcuffs of SPAK with accusations of corruption, abuse of office and money laundering for the incinerator of Elbasan. This Tuesday morning, SPAK requests that Koka be joined in the cell by Alqi Bllako, a former close associate of Lefter Koka, who for four years has held the position of Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment. Being a deputy has prevented for the moment, the immediate arrest of Alqi Bllako, but with the signature of the prosecutor Dritan Premçi, the assembly is asked to strip the deputy of his immunity.
In the request of SPAK addressed to Lindita Nikolla, Speaker of the Assembly, are listed all the correspondences of the Ministry of Environment and the actions of Alqi Bllako, as Secretary General, in creating conditions for the construction and operation of the incinerator in Fier.
But the Socialists, unlike the Tahiri case, seem to be wasting no time.
The Speaker of the Assembly Lindita Nikolla convenes on Wednesday afternoon at 18:00, the Council for Regulation, Mandates and Immunity.
The lifting of parliamentary immunity, which paves the way for arrest, seems inevitable.
The leader of the socialist parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, showed the red line, implying that Blako already has accounts closed with his own.
As of today he is alone in facing justice.
“SP is not a law firm… open the archives and see how SP has acted in similar cases“, Said Taulant Balla.
Not the most similar case, but the latest, is that of Saimir Tahiri. The majority, although it said it would not defend it, resisted prosecutors for several days. In the end it was Tahiri himself, who also handed over the mandate of the deputy, stripping himself of any defense before justice. But so far, this does not seem to be the case with Alqi Bllako. He even during the Commission of Inquiry gave signals that he would defend his truth. Thus, with the lifting of Alqi Bllako’s immunity, Edi Rama’s socialist majority is left with one less deputy, as Bllako, according to Article 71 of the constitution, loses his mandate only if he is convicted by a final decision of the court. A similar process, that of Saimir Tahiri, after several steps in the courts, went four years.
Alqi Bllako quickly climbed the steps of the political chair. An employee of Lefter Koka’s ministry, he was catapulted directly to the Presidency, where he worked closely with Ilir Meta, as its general secretary. But suddenly he leaves the Presidency in November 2018, at the height of the breakdown of its relations with the government, being appointed as the head of the national water company. Then comes the victory of the mandate for deputy on April 25. But his name had been rumored for two years publicly and on political tables, as involved in the incinerators affair.
The fact that he was being investigated by SPAK was confirmed by him to the Commission of Inquiry.
Blako was the favorite of the socialist list in Tirana, more than Majko or Kodheli. But his star shone a little in the pink sky. Today, difficult and lonely days await him, in the perspective of isolation in prison and under the serious charge of corruption.
