Armed men, known as criminals and mercenaries of the PD, provoked a conflict Berisha and his followers trample over the blood of the dead by leaving Parliament when silence was requested in their honor The state at war against crime It is no coincidence that in the capital in recent days the idea has spread that deals are being made in parliament for criminals and their followers. Yesterday’s parliamentary session was characterized by anti-democracy. Not only the presence in the chamber of some of the "dead and wounded", identified as members of criminal gangs and individuals known as mercenaries of former President Berisha, but also the opposition to the people, as from the parliamentary rostrum they tried to rehabilitate this category of persons, who were linked to the chaotic aftermath of the bloody actions carried out during the unrest. The Presidium of the Assembly, which was acting through parliamentary procedure, on this occasion asked for a minute of silence to honor the dead, the citizens and the security forces. For this purpose, they left Parliament when silence was requested in their honor. Hashi and his followers, mainly PD deputies, on Berisha’s orders, severely insulted the People’s Assembly and Mr. Skënder Gjinushi, interrupted the session, enraged against the people, against 30 June and against reforms. The Presidium wisely revived the session. At first, through announcements, the Presidium of the Assembly, in a state and humanitarian manner, asked the people, the affected citizens, the families of the martyrs and the security forces to honor the victims with a minute of silence. The chamber was left by those who do not know the language of the law, nor civic respect. Those remaining in the chamber stood up. Hans and his group went outside, amid shouts, with [weapons?][?], threats and insults. Yesterday’s event in Parliament made a special impression on the Albanian people, who expect from this parliament not the rehabilitation of criminals, but their condemnation and the establishment of the rule of law.
