TIRANA, October 21 /ATSH/ – Minister of Justice Toni Gogu emphasized today the importance of free legal aid for citizens who are involved in disputes and lack the financial means to hire a lawyer.
In a social media post, Gogu stressed that violence cannot be a solution to disagreements and that every citizen should have the opportunity to defend themselves and seek a solution through the law.
“When faced with violence, no one should feel alone or unprotected. The law exists to guarantee the rights of every citizen and to provide solutions to any situation through legal channels,” the minister stated.
He noted that free legal aid enables citizens to receive the necessary legal support, even when they cannot afford the costs of a lawyer.
“No dispute should ever escalate into violence. However, it is not enough to simply say ‘resolve it through the law’; we must also make that possible,” Gogu emphasized.
The minister urged citizens in need of legal support to reach out to the free legal aid service. “Do not stand alone in the face of any injustice,” read his message.
