TIRANA, October 23 /ATSH/ – Minister of Justice Toni Gogu has urged dialogue and respect for institutions in response to the recent protests in Tirana.
In a social media post, Gogu emphasized that while institutions can be criticized and held accountable, violence is not the way to resolve problems.
“Instead of attacking institutions, we should engage them through constructive dialogue and debate,” the minister stated, underscoring that grievances should be transformed into solutions through communication.
In his post, Gogu also shared a message from Leopoldo—a member of the World Law Foundation and of the World Jurist Association team—who has been in Tirana over the past few days observing the protests firsthand.
While sympathizing with the students’ demands for education and jobs, he emphasized that all parties must uphold the rule of law.
“When you ask something of your government, you must also consider that it should be done in the proper manner,” the message read. Leopoldo emphasized that public institutions, including the Ministry of Justice, belong to the citizens, and that dialogue should be the response to grievances and demands for change. /e.i/a.f/p.s./
