"He took responsibility for the brutality", former SP MP: We should

Former Socialist Party MP, Marjana Koceku, has reacted harshly after episodes of police violence against students, describing them as unacceptable and demanding the resignation of Interior Minister, Ervin Demo.

In her reaction, Koceku states that the violence exercised has crossed all limits, while raising serious accusations against some of the police officers, who, according to her, were recruited from the ranks of crime.

Focusing on students, the former MP emphasizes that they represent one of the most vulnerable segments of society and that the way they have been treated during the protest is, according to her, brutal.

Koceku links political responsibility for the event to the Minister of Interior, Ervin Demo, who he claims was placed in that position to undertake such a level of brutality.

At the end of her reaction, the former SP MP demands that the minister's resignation be requested immediately, considering this a responsibility that must be borne after the reported episodes of violence against students.

Veton Surroi: The crisis in Albania in seven points

One solution would be to create the legal and political conditions for free and fair elections next year. For the elections to produce a way out of the crisis, a special package of electoral guarantees should be prepared that, among other things, would limit in advance the influence of illicit money, the misuse of state resources, and inequality in access to the media.
