Xhezair Zaganjori, like Bashkim Dedja earlier, failed to capitalize on the “generosity” of Edi Rama, despite bowing to the hope that the prime minister would lend a hand to the successful Wetting process.
The President of the Supreme Court is the second highest official in the justice system, after the former head of the constitution, Dedja, who is deposed in the second instance of Wetting after failing to justify his wealth through legal sources.
The Special Appeals Panel decided Friday morning to end the official career of jurist Zaganjori, thus marking the end of the Supreme Court body that was in office until the Reform of Justice was approved.
On Zaganjori, at least publicly, there has been no suspicion of involvement in corruption. Even the Special Appeals Panel, in its decision, did not raise suspicions of involvement in corruption, despite the problems found with the property.
And yet Zaganjor’s dismissal seems to have created some relief for his colleagues, but especially those already dismissed, who saw him as a conformist and servile to the government.
Xhezair Zaganjori, as President of the Supreme Court, was the representative figure of the judiciary. But in spite of his high power, he never, even once, came out in defense of the judges in the face of unprecedented, low-key and massive attacks by Prime Minister Edi Rama.
In his capacity as President of the Judicial Conference, he did not provide any alternative ideas on Justice Reform, especially Wetting, even when associations of judges approached the Constitutional Court to review certain laws.
Zaganjori, an experienced lawyer with a long career in the justice system, showed no concern when, due to the multiple-standards Wetting process, Albania was left without a Constitutional Court. He remained stoic in his job as chairman of the Supreme Court, even when the institution he headed up to Friday turned into a file warehouse, following the dismissal and dismissal of almost all of his colleagues.
With the “straw keys” in hand, Xhezair Zaganjori nevertheless found the opportunity to show servility to the government at the conclusion of one of the previous hearings at the Special Appeals Panel. He stated that he agreed with the idea of temporary members of the Supreme Court, despite the fact that this “solution” finds no support in either the Constitution or the laws.
Xhezair Zaganjori had no shyness in appointing Ardian Dvoranin, a High-Level Expert on Justice Reform, a judge with strong ties to the Socialist Party and Renaissance leaders. And, not coincidentally, only Dvorani remained in office in the Supreme Court.
Xhezair Zaganjori “upheld” Edi Rama’s idea of imprisoning all those Albanian citizens who, due to extreme poverty, were subjected to brutal electricity reform.
In his capacity as chairman of the Supreme Court’s Administrative College, Zaganjori ensured that the state always emerged victorious in litigation, even in cases where ordinary citizens lost their jobs due to government arrogance.
For all the above, but also for other arguments, the dismissal of Xhezair Zaganjori did not cause any regrets, except for himself and his family. Perhaps even his family, “oligarch” Vilma Nushi, who failed to provide confirmation on duty.
