The barbaric violence of the members of the Rraja tribe seems to have been the filling and spilling of the cup, which prompted Prime Minister Edi Rama to dismiss Bledi Çuçi from the post of Minister of the Interior.
In his place, Rama decided to appoint Taulant Balla, a name that has been rumored earlier for this position.
But Çuçi's two years in the Ministry of Interior have not been so successful. He replaced Sandër Lleshajn in this position in December 2020, and took over the leadership of the ministry during the mass protests in Tirana for the killing of the young Klodian Rasha by a police officer.
It seems that this bad luck would follow Çuç even further, although a year later he would dismiss the first director of the State Police, Ardi Veliu .
The death of 7-year-old Jonada Avdia , on the beach in Himarë, was another serious event that shocked public opinion. The minor was hit by the propeller of a police chief's boat in Himare.
Not much time would pass from another serious event, the death of the young Lear Kurti , who consumed a quantity of drugs while being chased by the police. Kurti was kept at the police premises of Lapraka until he lost consciousness and was not taken to the hospital in time.
This time too, all the calls were for the removal of Çuçi. Criminal events would break out in the country, where among the most serious was the " Don Bosco Massacre ", with one killed and four injured, the execution of police officer Çaush Saliasi by his colleague inside the police station in Tirana, the assassination of Aleksandër Sadikaj as well as the assassination of Brilant Martinaj and his two friends Diklen Vata and Besmir Hoxha .
Chuchi apparently found the easiest solution to relieve himself of the responsibility. He dismissed the second chief, the head of the State Police Gladis Nano .
Zhdukja e Ervis Martinajt do të ishte një moment tjetër dështimi për autoritetet e Ministrisë së Brendshme, megjithëse si Rama dhe Çuçi do t’i vendosnin policisë afat për zbardhjen e saj, asnjë rezultat nuk pasoi.
Krimi do t’i merrte jetën një qytetareje të pafajshme jo shumë kohë më parë. Nga një atentat i dështuar në Don Bosko, që dyshohet për hakmarrje mes grupit të Martinajt dhe armiqve të tij, do të humbiste jetën banakierja Mimoza Pajo.
Çuçi do të akuzohej nga opozita, ndër të tjera edhe për kontrollin e javëve të fundit të Policisë së Shtetit në kampin me Muxhahedinëve në Manëz, aksioni dyshohet se la një iranian të vdekur, ndonëse Çuçi i doli në krah bluve duke e mohuar një gjë të tillë.
But it was the violence of the Kruja Region that prematurely cut short his career as Minister of the Interior. The footage was as brutal as it was ugly, and implicated both politics and the blues of Kruja. The police had not taken any measures for months, allowing the conflict to degenerate into violence, while the perpetrators were relatives of the socialist deputy.
That was enough for Prime Minister Edi Rama to return after a long time to the iron hand of dismissals, while the "Balla era" is already starting in the Ministry of the Interior.
