The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, attacked the government for the new draft of the penal code, presented last week, saying that it "mercilessly hits citizens" and "treats officials with maximum leniency."

"From 1992 until today, Albania has drafted laws based on the best standards and assisted by competent European institutions. In 1995, the first penal code was adopted. In 2014, with the help of Euralius, the penal code that is in force today was drafted. And without turning 10 years old or fixed at 10 years, another new text of the penal code emerges from the mafia caves, without any consultation, from the offices of Edi Rama," Berisha said in a press conference.

" Once again, the codes are supplemented with the criminal offenses that are created, with the practices that must be implemented, but changing the code every 10 years means that very sharp interests force you to take such an act. And when you undertake this in an almost secret manner, without any prior consultation with the main factors, with lawyers, with judges, with prosecutors, with civil society, with the media, with MPs, but you come out as if you took it out of the cave and presented it, it shows that you have nothing in common there with the interests of the rule of law, nor of the citizen, the protection of the lives and properties of citizens, but on the contrary you have the interests of the narco-state, the mafia state, the drug cartels that impose you to take such a step in complete secrecy ."
