One of those arrested yesterday in the drug prosecution action, VV's close relative, Qalaj: country facing high crime, corruption

PDK chairmanship member Besa Kabashi Ramaj has said this case proves that organised crime has affected the government.

“In the operation “The broken water”, a person known as the chief organiser of a drug trafficking network, and also known for his connections to the Vetevendosje Movement, even having access to former Prime Minister Kurti and the Minister of Internal Affairs. This is not just a criminal case, it's an alarm for our entire political and institutional system. It is evidence of what happens when wrong people enter decision-making, and when state structures are used for dark interests”, she said.

According to Kabashi-Ramaj, even the failure of sessions for the constitutionalisation of the Parliament and the failure of institutions is deliberate blockade, which is leaving the country vulnerable at a time when challenges do not wait -- neither in the country nor in the region.

Our “State still has no mechanisms for early prevention of modern threats, such as cyber threats, deinformation, or hybrid attacks, while these have become part of the daily reality of democratic countries. Second, gun crimes and cases of violence remain disturbing. Incidents with weapons and looting remain a real threat, especially in urban areas. Civil emergency systems are outdated and without trained and dignified personnel. Instead of strengthening the institutions of order and civil protection, the past government has dealt with the persecution of critics and political instrumentisation of security institutions. But the hardest, it's the crackdown on human security. Economic security has been threatened by irresponsible actions such as the chaotic way of liberalising the energy market, which jeopardises more than 140 thousand jobs and destroys the private sector, the only remaining pillar of economic stability”, she stressed.

Meanwhile, the deputy of The PDK, Rashit Qalaj, said that non-compliance of institutions is not random, not only due to the lack of numbers for selecting the prime minister and prime minister, but also because it would be discussed for the licensing of family companies for energy trading, misuses for the tender of animal remains and other scandals of this power.

The Vetevendosje Movement expert “Old City” is currently arrested. The man standing next to the interior minister. Svecla and then also stands close to various figures of the ruling party. And this is no coincidence. So, Shemsie Bahtiri was investigated in 2019 for the same things”, Qalaj stressed.

The PDK has called on all justice institutions to act decisively and without compromise over the case and other scandals of this government.

Our country is facing a high level of crime and corruption, negatively affecting the functioning of institutions and citizens' trust. These problems have led to continued degradation in every sector of society”, Qalaj concluded.
