During a public consultation with a representative body of parents who lead the Parents’ Councils and members of the councils in various schools in Tirana, PM Rama said that the idea of ​​these two platforms, which are considered the most problematic, has been discussed for a long time.

“The idea of ​​banning TikTok and/or SnapChat as two platforms that are problematic – as a matter of fact all platforms are problematic, but these two are problematic for specific reasons – is an idea that we have discussed for a long time, not today. On this occasion, we thought we would put it forward for a broader discussion because it is not so black and white, it is not the solution to the problems, but it is an element that could lead us to significantly narrow the space that stimulates, inspires, encourages violence, bullying and stupidity in general”, said PM Rama.

The prime minister asked for suggestions of the parents or teachers, who have their own points of view on the situation. /a.f/p.s./

During a briefing after meeting at the Central Electoral Commision with the US ambassador Yuri Kim, Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi and representatives from the Parliamentary political parties, Gjiknuri stated that it was discussed, “about the measures that must be taken by Albanian politics, Albanian institutions and political parties in general to prevent any kind of illegal financing, I would even call it dangerous for national interests”.

Gjiknuri added that, “Albania has a very good legal framework. We hope that all parties will set up their own mechanisms to prevent every kind of act that some have already made public”.

When asked if it was discussed that the financing of political parties should be 100% public financing, Gjiknuri said that, “It was not a technical conversation or what concrete measures will be taken. This is up to the political parties, the Assembly of Albania, the Albanian institutions. The concern was also expressed based on the last report. And it was discussed with the main parties that these concerns are real and the main parties must take measures so that these things do not happen again in the future”./p.s./
