We are very determined not to affect the independence of justice. This is the promise that Prime Minister Edi Rama made from Athens in the meeting with immigrants at the international job fair.
In response to statements that he should leave the government because his ministers are in prison, Rama said that for the first time in history, those connected to power are not untouchable and that he should feel proud about this.
"Rama must go because all his ministers went to prison and now it's Rama's turn. What is important to share with you is that precisely because of what they say that I and we should lower our heads, we should be proud that for the first time in history since 1912, those who are connected to power are not untouchable, for the first time since 1912, our power handed over the sword of punishment to another power. Until we took office and we did not take it to warm eggs but to make Albania a member, the sword of punishment was in the hands of the powers."
Rama reiterated that he has placed the "governing body" at the disposal of justice and expressed his determination not to affect the independence of the judiciary. He said that he has taken on the mission of leading Albania towards the EU, not to find jobs.
"Today this has changed because we have handed over the sword to the power of justice and have made our body available for any case when justice seeks to intervene to remove a tumor. Only in this way can we seriously fight corruption and become equal to those who see us from a distance and are at the EU table. Justice in Albania has no tradition of independence and this will take time. We are very determined not to touch the independence of justice. We are very determined to endure the unjust pain because we have taken on the mission of leading Albania not to find jobs. Our job is not a job like all the others, but it is a mission."
