Following the Special Court's letter to the State Police and the Ministry of Interior requesting clarification on why no measures were taken during the gathering of supporters of Mayor Erion Veliaj in front of the GJKKO premises, Gazment Bardhi has also reacted to the situation created two days ago.
The head of the DP parliamentary group accuses Interior Minister Ervin Hoxha of lying yesterday in Parliament when he stated that the protest was unannounced and that the State Police did not intervene to disperse the crowd, as they were a group of sympathizers.
"Yesterday, the Minister of Interior lied publicly and misinformed the Albanian Parliament regarding the inaction of the State Police against the mafia attempt of the Batakçi directors of the Municipality of Tirana to physically intimidate judges and special prosecutors in the line of duty. This institutional and public deception of the Minister of Interior also proves the authorship of the political order to prevent justice from holding anyone accountable before the law, regardless of their status. Erion Veliaj is not above the law. He is a close friend and collaborator of Edi Rama, but the latter cannot misuse the state and the State Police to come to the aid of a person who is being investigated for corruption and money laundering. Edi Rama can choose to be Erion Veliaj's lawyer, but he must do this privately, not by misusing state institutions," writes Bardhi.
Bardhi further reiterates the position held by the GJKKO and SPAK, insisting that "the inaction of the State Police has put at risk the lives and health of judges, prosecutors and administrative staff on duty" and therefore cannot remain silent.
For the reasons mentioned, Bardhi demands that the Minister of Interior and the Director General of the State Police be immediately dismissed from office and criminally prosecuted.
"On the contrary, Edi Rama's inaction makes him not only directly responsible for the situation, but is also a coup d'état of the executive branch against the judicial branch, applying the mafia principle that if the court and prosecution convict and investigate without permission, then they will be alone and without the protection of the state. This would not only be unprecedented, but CRIMINAL!", Bardhi further writes. (A2 Televizion)
