TIRANA - the Minister of Agriculture and Food loudly declares that order and peace will not be disturbed! An interview that asks: Where are the weapons of the bandits with power, the criminals of the government? Will they all be handed over in handcuffs? Or are they being classified? Let this government not be disgraced with classified gangs and with deputies! Why do those who armed the gangs in Fier, Vlorë, Berat and everywhere else not take responsibility? Why are they not being subjected to the law? These questions arise from today's reality and from the alarm that has gripped public opinion. Following this denunciation, we find that it is essential to carry out complete and honest disarmament, not selective disarmament. Otherwise, political privileges and criminal immunities will be created. There are those who seek to hide documents and drag out the investigations. This cannot be accepted. Every citizen must be equal before the law.
