Former Constitutional Court Judge Kadri Kryeziu has voiced strong disapproval of public understandings of the Constitution that neglect specific legal provisions. He describes these interpretations as “legal fables,” highlighting the need for a rigorous, professional methodology. Speaking on the “Përballje Podcast,” Kryeziu underscored that constitutional norms demand a careful and direct reference to articles and chapters within the document.
He emphatically stated, “If interpretation is done without articles, without chapters, it’s a legal fable.”
The judge stressed that legal interpretation must be grounded in law, not subjective or political viewpoints. He asserted that lawyers have a responsibility to utilize articles, provisions, and chapters when undertaking such interpretations. Kryeziu cautioned against unprofessional approaches, warning that they can lead to significant confusion and potential harm.
He emphasized the importance of a legally sound basis for any constitutional analysis. Ultimately, the former judge’s message is clear: a proper legal understanding requires a commitment to referencing the Constitution’s specific textual elements, and not relying on interpretations without those foundational elements.
