Bamir Topi has doubts about Berisha's bodyguards
Former president Bamir Topi declared today that the beating of the president of PD, Sali Berisha during the protest by 31-year-old Gert Shehu, left a bad taste in public opinion.
Topi said that such an event constitutes a dangerous precedent in terms of society's approach to political leaders.
"I say it is heavy and ugly at the same time. Fortunately, it stayed there. In such a situation, even a physically young, strong person could have a very bad time. It left a very bitter, bad taste. This shows that in this society of ours, regardless of what is being said about the personality of the man who hit Berisha, many things in society are perverted", said Topi in the show "Frontline".
For the former president, such an event should be thoroughly investigated by the relevant bodies. Topi also had a criticism for the former prime minister's bodyguards.
According to him, in cases of protests, the bodyguards of political leaders must be alert at all times to avoid such cases.
"The people surrounding Berisha, the bodyguards were almost oblivious. I will not describe the qualities of people who surround a leader and protect a political leader. Those who defend the leader must be very professional. A serious act of violence and ugly at the same time. Fortunately, no consequences. Of course, everyone has their own physique. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed. Man is a biological being. When we have seen trained boxers who fall in the ring", Topi said.
"I condemn the violence. In the specific case, even more. It is about a former president, former prime minister, a man who, beyond his career, has years on his shoulders. Violence is punishable, but we are used to saying leave it to the authorities to investigate. A detailed investigation is needed into this situation. Indeed, politics has had difficult situations, it seems a dangerous precedent. We passed the years 97' and 98'. There have also been acts like the killing of the leader of the 90' movement", concluded Topi.
