‘Minister of Interior Affairs replacement is directly related to this institution’s role in the parliamentary elections’. This declaration was made on Thursday in parliament by LIBRA’s chair, Ben Blushi. 

“The country is experiencing a crisis. The parliament is boycotted by nearly 40% of the MPs, the judicial reform stalled, negotiations with EU stopped since last December, while the elections may be boycotted by part of the opposition. What’s needed more to admit the existence of a crisis? 

The newly appointed Minister of Interior Affairs should have been present here today, illustrating his plans for the fight against cannabis cultivation. Indeed, the only reason behind Sajmir Tahiri’s replacement by Fatmir Xhafaj is related to the key role played by the State Police during the electoral process,” said Blushi.
