The Socialist Movement for Integration (SMI) chairwoman Monika Kryemadhi declares that Prime Minister Edi Rama statements in defense of his former-Minister of Interior Sajmir Tahiri are indeed an attempt to protect his person.

�Edi Rama, the man that fears the justice defended while detaching at the same time himself from him Sajmir Tahiri the closest collaborators in politics criminalization,� stated Kryemadhi through a public statement on Monday.

She also declared that Rama�s advisors and trusted friends have almost convinced the Premier that he played no role in cannabis cultivation phenomenon spreading in Albania.

�On the other side they seem to forget that PM Rama�s fear is bigger than any principle or friendship. The unprecedented attack on the prosecution by someone that only a few weeks ago waved the justice reform flag is a clear sign of political acting and inaptitude to understand that neither the big nor the small fishes may escape this reform,� stated Kryemadhi.

She also stressed that PM Rama makes a mistake by listening to his advisors claims that justice reform artifices may help him escape justice.

�This superficial individual hurries to proclaim himself and his collaborators as innocent by attacking the only law enforcement institution that proves his direct ties with the crime�s world. His personal attitude and that of the Socialist parliamentary group is nothing more than a temporary escapade from the powerful truth that will lead to the criminals� dismissal from decision-making process. PM Rama is perfectly aware that opposition is no longer a matter of cards bought with crimes money but a matter of inspiration and willingness that will soon bring the gangs down from country�s ruling,� stated the SMI chairwoman.
