Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama held a meeting with the socialist assemblies of several units in the capital this afternoon.

During his speech, Socialist leader Rama stated that the Socialist Party is the first political force that has taken power's hands off justice.

Rama says their goal was an independent judiciary that would also fight the thieves within them. However, Rama says they want European justice, not like in Russia.

"We are the political party and the first force with power that has taken political power's hands off justice because we wanted Albania to enter the test of an independent justice system and to have an independent justice system that can fight the thieves within us as well. Our goal has not been to hold on to power and cover up the same history for each other. Our goal is to make history by making Albania a member of the EU and giving the generations that come after a chance at an independent justice system. For 5 years, I, the first, and everyone else, have gritted our teeth because independence has been the main thing. But it is not only independence, it is also professionalism. We want European justice, not like in Russia," Rama said.

The Prime Minister adds that they do not want justice through detention without trial, saying that this is a battle they have the burden of fighting by guaranteeing the independence and inviolability of the new justice institutions.

"We do not want justice with detention without trial. This is a battle that we have the burden of fighting. By guaranteeing the independence and inviolability of the new justice institutions. A party like ours that has governed alone for 2 terms, that says to justice "here you have me and eat my body", it is important that all are equal before the law and as if you bite by mistake. Wrong bites of justice are a tragedy. However, there is no other way. The burden of proof belongs to the one who accuses and not to the one who is accused and the principle is that everyone is innocent until someone is proven guilty.

It is not the principle that everyone is guilty and let me prove them innocent that has been done here "everyone is a thief and a criminal" because they have no other way to defeat us. Today, all kinds of swamp owls scream that "we are threatening SPAK" and the swamp owl continues to bring denunciations to SPAK. If justice is a sword and with the sword, the prosecution has the main role, but justice is not only a sword, it is also a scale. This lady of justice has her eyes bandaged because justice should be blind, in the sense that she should not see who is taller and who is shorter, who is the accuser or the accused. Justice should be impartial and the evidence is put on the scales. Today, justice has a sword because we gave it to it", said Rama.
