TIRANA, Oct. 21 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama met banking sector executives on Wednesday, expressing the government’s solidarity following violent attacks during protests and stressing that institutions would continue working to address citizens’ concerns.
“I am here to express our solidarity with you at this very important and critical moment we are going through. I am here to tell you that this will pass, but we will not forget,” Rama said.
The prime minister said the government had a duty to address the concerns of people taking part in peaceful protests, as well as those supporting them, but not acts of violence.
He singled out the stone-throwing attack on the Bank of Albania, describing it as a serious incident and comparing it with the situation in 1997.
“The Bank of Albania was not attacked even in 1997, because there were no other banks. The Bank of Albania was not touched even in 1997, and today it has been pelted with stones,” the prime minister said.
