Socialist MP Erion Braçe spoke in parliament about the serious accident on Sunday in Durrës, where a drunk driver killed two children in the former Këneta area.

Braçe emphasizes that it was not an accident or a normal situation, but an intentional murder.

Braçe asks MPs to commit to changes in the Criminal Code, so that such cases are considered the same as murder, because according to him, whoever enters the street drunk is entering to kill.

"Two families passed away today. 1/3 was in a battle for life and now in rehabilitation from a serious trauma. The result of a serious crime on a neighborhood street, intentional homicide and never an accident or violation of traffic rules.

A repeated incident on national roads but also neighborhood streets. I published a video of the accident as it happened, to reject the normalization of such a crime.

The code we have normalizes such a crime. A drunk person, not just drunk, who drives a car is sent to detention. In any case, he is released after two days, the proceedings continue at liberty.

If you have money, you immediately pay double the fine and nothing happens.

He is being investigated for violating traffic rules, leaving the scene of an accident. This is normalizing the accident.

Meanwhile, residents who have the profile of a strongman who rules the neighborhood. This is not a traffic violation, it is murder.

"The first thing we need to do is reformulate the new changes to the Criminal Code as intentional murder. A drunk driver enters the road to kill and intentionally kill," he said.
