Minister: We will not allow any defiance of the law. They will be punished Qenrë "Sines", SHIK-u TV and Kryesneta The Albanian state continues to suffer from the lack of functioning institutions. This must especially be taken into account by political leaders, all the more so when the abuse that the lack of state functioning produces makes justice falter, especially under the kind of conditions our country is living in. In this situation, the outrage over the events that took place on Saturday in the village of Shkallnuer in Vlora is even more serious. Only thanks to a lot of effort did they begin, with the intention of spreading the version that there are 21 victims and a TV, and that the TV killed, since it was executed amid the exchange of two bullets. But later, contradicting that version, it can be said that there is other information, unconstitutional censorship. The operation against loan sharks cannot be stopped for any reason. It is necessary not only for healing the Albanian economy, but also for the health of politics. The concerns of the country and of Kosovo about the reappearance of banditry and explosives have turned into a heavy test for the state institutions and for public order itself. In this heated climate, paths of restraint must be found, but not mercy for those who dare to raise arms against the state police. If there is no decisive response to these acts, then the authority of the law and of the state will be seriously undermined.
