In Albania, despite the fact that the investigations of the Special Prosecutor's Office have involved high-level officials and also high-ranking representatives of the Socialist Party in power, Prime Minister Edi Rama says that he is calm and determined that the battle against impunity will continue.
"This question has been asked to me since SPAK has started to operate and it always surprises me, because it could be asked persistently if I were a person caught unawares in front of the products or results of a reform made by others . Yes, I am not a person found suddenly and the reform in justice was done by me at the head and the Socialist Party all in support of this reform. So, of course, I do not feel good in the human and personal aspect for people I know, with whom I have worked, with whom I have collaborated from afar or closely, but when it comes to the task I have, when it comes to the mission that he leads, when it comes to the fact that this is a painful process, through which Albania will finally become the state that never was and thanks to which impunity in Albania is now not a myth, but is a fallen monument, and for the first time in the history of Albania, since the declaration of statehood in 1912, there are individuals connected to political power, whether in the ranks of the majority that governs or in the ranks of the majority that has governed, then here it is surprising to anyone's surprise, but I personally feel absolutely calm, clear and determined, even more determined, that this battle will continue and there will be no compromise", says Rama for VOA.
When asked whether the involvement in the investigations of Erion Veliaj harms the image of the SP or not, Rama answered: "I do not comment on individual cases, I have never done so, except when there was a final court decision, as was the case of a repeated defamation . But I can only say that the fact that anyone is under investigation does not make anyone guilty, and on the other hand, trials are not held in the media, but trials are held in legal and constitutional processes".
