Interior Minister Ervin Demo has reacted for the second time after the protest held in Tirana, condemning the violence and emphasizing that every action of the Police officers will be analyzed.

In his reaction, he expressed concern for the people injured during the clashes, including students, citizens, journalists and police officers, while in his first reaction he only mentioned police officers. 

Demo underlines that the right to protest is guaranteed, but cannot be used as a justification for violence or damage to property.

The Minister emphasizes that the police have the obligation to guarantee public order and security, but at the same time, any intervention must be in accordance with the law.

For this reason, according to him, allegations of unlawful or disproportionate use of force must be examined impartially.

Demo demands that the footage and testimonies from the protest be verified, so that responsibilities can be determined based on evidence and not conjecture.

"Dear citizens,

Today, in Luxembourg, Albania received another assessment of its progress towards the European Union, temporarily closing another chapter of negotiations. This progress charges us with the responsibility to implement European standards, including in the way our institutions deal with any opposition and protect the rights of citizens.

Today's events in front of the Ministry of Education are disturbing. I express my concern for every injured person, be it a student, citizen, journalist or police officer, and I wish everyone a speedy recovery. The responsible institutions will publish a full and verified balance sheet of the injured.

I condemn without any reservation the attacks on police officers, the damage to public and private property. Peaceful protest is a democratic right that our state fully guarantees. Violence against people and institutions cannot be justified in the name of this fundamental right.

The State Police has the obligation to protect citizens, institutions and public safety. The officers deserve support for exercising their duties within the law and have the duty to be protected from any attack against them.

At the same time, any action by the Police must be lawful, necessary and proportionate. The competent authorities will impartially examine any allegation of unlawful or disproportionate use of force, without prejudice to any investigative conclusions. Any footage and evidence that helps to shed light on any possible detail must be preserved and verified.

The law should be applied equally to everyone.

Responsibilities must be determined individually, based on evidence. Participation in the same protest does not make anyone responsible for the actions of another person alongside them.

I have asked the responsible structures to take measures to reduce tensions and prevent further clashes, while guaranteeing public safety and the right to peaceful protest. Journalists must be able to carry out their work in safety.

The European standard requires a state that guarantees order, respects freedoms and is accountable for its actions. This is the responsibility that we must fulfill even after today's events.

"Thank you," Demos' response reads.
