Lekaj: Peci is threatening opposition to hide abuses

Lekaj said the minister's stance, which includes harsh warnings and vocabulary of the opposition, is an attempt to avoid responsibility for mistakes made in managing subsidies.

Minister Peci's “s approach is a clear attempt to avoid responsibility for mismanaging hundreds of thousands of euros in subsidies, which have been shamelessly distributed to members of his party,” said Lekaj. “

Lekaj stressed that Minister Peci has no right to attack the opposition, when he himself is involved in practices that harm the interests of farmers and citizens.

He described this situation as a clear example of capture of the state, where the state budget is used to strengthen the party base instead of helping those who really need it.

“Citizens expect no threats from the minister, but answers to his abuses and the removal of corrupt practices from public institutions --” added Lekaj.

He concluded by saying that a government that protects such actions shows that it has lost all ties to public interest and that citizens are willing to punish those involved in such abuses.

The citizens expect no threats from the minister, but answers to his abuses and the removal of corrupt practices from public institutions. A government protecting such shameful acts shows that it has lost all ties to public interest and that it is preparing for the punishment deserved by citizens!”, Lekaj told Blic newspaper.
