PM Rama: “The Time When People Were Threatened with Prison in the Streets Is Long Behind Us”

During his press conference with the media, Prime Minister Edi Rama was asked whether he would ever find himself in a situation where he had to choose between resignation and prison, a question raised in the context of the recent protests.

Rama responded by saying that he is proud to have led a major effort aimed at reforming Albania’s justice system.

“The time when people were threatened with prison in the streets is a time we left far behind. I am the person who proudly led the greatest historic battle for Albanians by paving the way for justice reform and by creating a structure that is entirely independent of me and carries out its work in the service of justice.

This is once again part of speculation and manipulation. I have seen many such claims before, and they do not impress me. It is a very old movie,” he said.
