Prime Minister Edi Rama participated in the presentation of the new director of the National Information Society Agency , Igli Tafa.
In his speech, he also focused on former director Mirlinda Karçanaj , who according to him is innocent, although the last word belongs to justice.
Rama: First of all, I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to Linda Karçanaj, who has worked for two decades and more, since we were in the Municipality of Tirana, whom I know as one of the most dedicated people to the function and public service in this country. Whom you know personally and I believe you share with me that Linda has always been the first to come to work and the last to leave. I am saddened by everything she is going through. First of all, by the unequal aggression of the portals, the verbal violence that associates her with things that have nothing to do with her.
Of course, as always, I do not go into the merits of the case in question, I am not aware of details related to the activity of these companies involved in the investigation. But I am aware of the fact that Linda is a single mother with two children. She has a career among the most excellent in public service. I am aware that with all the partners, you know better than me that AKSHI has high-level partners, Microsoft, Oracle, I have heard the most enthusiastic words and the most extraordinary impressions about you, your staff and Linda Karçanaj. I say this out of respect for a person who is today in an ordeal, where I believe with all my heart that he will come out clean, but it is not up to me to say this, it is up to justice. But this does not mean rejecting the values ??that he has created and the revolution that he has led together on this journey. This team is one of the most important assets of the Republic of Albania.
I feel sorry for those of you who have been pressured, for those who have been mistreated, who have been abused, who have been faced with unjustifiable methods of coercion in a democratic republic, but on the other hand I must tell you that we live in a phase where another revolution is taking place, like the revolution that you have been making every day, to transform Albania into an image of the digital world. A more savage, more painful, with more wounds, but necessary revolution is taking place.
The revolution of transforming the justice system from a living rot into a fair, equal and functional justice system. We are very far from the latter, but the path is of no return. Unfortunately, if in your virtual world experiments are done with algorithms and if failures are crashes, shutdowns of the program, in this world of the justice revolution these are done on the skin of people. It is not a computer that is turned off, it is a human life that is placed in a position that is not at all admirable and not at all enviable when it is innocent.
