The head of the Democratic Party Parliamentary Group, Gazment Bardhi, has demanded the resignation of Interior Minister Albana Koçiu following the murder of judge Astrit Kalaja.
Bardhi holds the government and the Ministry of Interior responsible for the low security in justice institutions.
Bardhi: Today we should have started the session with the minister's resignation. The judge should be killed in the courtroom while giving the decision, and the Minister of the Interior should lie to public opinion that she has no obligations.
First, according to the legislation, it is the duty of the State Police to guarantee security. The High Judicial Council exposed you and published the correspondence where it requested, due to threats from judges, the support of the State Police and the police refused.
This issue cannot pass as an event of the day or week. It has never happened that a judge was killed in the courtroom. The event has shocked international opinion. He explained that he is not a police officer, he has never been to court. The Prime Minister must come and give explanations. It is not the first serious event in the Court of Appeals.
