The government head attended the presentation of the newly-appointed State Police chief and the Rama and the new directors of the Police Supervision Agency, and the National Inspectorate for the Protection of the Territory (IKMT).

Speaking about the tragic event, PM Rama said “that wicked and unscrupulous individual and his deadly jet ski is not the embodiment of the State Police today. Neither he, nor other individuals currently being under investigation by the Police Supervision Agency that checks, arrests and hands them over to the justice system, are not the image of the State Police,” he stated.

“They are just the remains of a body that is being transformed, but where the wicked individuals might be still there, but who are being fought more than ever before, although certain wicked and unscrupulous individuals seem to have taken ground within the State Police ranks, Their wrongdoings should be stopped immediately through the power of law and the military discipline,” Rama said.

“I haven’t forgotten the tragic event in Himara, where the innocent little girl died after being fatally hit by the jet ski on the beach. And with the huge wave of reactions over the newly-opened wound now receding, but also because we are here precisely at the Ministry of Interior at a moment of change at the State Police, I would like to share a reflection with the public and with you, the highest police and Ministry of Interior officials,” he added.

“That tragedy is inconsolable, because nobody would be able to console parents of a perished child. However, one should state that at the height of their extreme pain, that ordinary family showed incredible self-restraint, appealing to everyone not to politicize the tragic event. I would like to humbly show the deepest of respect for them,” PM Rama said.

Commenting on the protests in the wake of the child’s death, the government head said: “Not only have I understood them, but I have also silently and respectfully congratulated those boys and girls who took to a peaceful protest.”
