Former Director of the State Police, Gledis Nano, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on Vizion Plus, spoke about the police's management of the protest. 

Nano expressed some criticism regarding the avoidance of protocol in some cases, while saying that the Police appeared "disorganized". 

Studio conversation: 

Gedis Nano: I have followed the situation, I want to say that it is a slightly complicated situation. Crowd management requires commitment and professionalism. I do not agree with the use of violence, as it does not justify the demands of the protesters, but I must mention the role or duties of the State Police in managing the protests. I have seen some videos, I do not want to be harsh, to come to a decision, as they must be seen in complexity, I have noticed that the police forces have had a kind of discord, or have not been so organized in such situations. Even the situation makes you perhaps make mistakes on the ground, but we claim to have police according to EU standards, which have been trained by various international colleagues. We cannot accept such cases that we have seen. 

Klodiana Lala: Today, in one of the second-tier banks, there was an intervention and the police had to come 10 minutes late, even though they were 30 meters from the scene. Yesterday, the police were at the Cathedral, it took 15 minutes to intervene. Either they are implementing a scenario or they are incompetent. How did you, as a former police chief, see it? Now there was a state of siege, for example, but this did not happen yesterday. It looked like the police are being used by politics, to give Rama a reason to say that these are vandals. 

Gledis Nano: We should not generalize the student protest with violent protesters. It is unacceptable that businesses are being destroyed, that perhaps the families who created them have suffered and have their investments in them. Many have called me and asked me what to do. The police must apply a certain standard. 

Klodiana Lala: The police have been used as cannon fodder. You are one of those thrown out on the street because the prime minister didn't like you. You have to say that we have a destroyed police force. 

Gledis Nano: In the videos I have seen, I cannot accept that the police break the protocol. We have a "riot unit", which are FNSH, dedicated and trained, who manage activities from cultural ones to violent protests. I cannot accept that a group of police officers break the protocol and chase people with sticks in their hands, it does not leave a good professional taste. We cannot generalize the entire work of the state police. These people need to be analyzed, some have even been suspended. Why don't the police intervene? In the conditions I am in today, I cannot say whether it is version one or two. Is the police obliged to receive information before these activities take place? Was there? I don't know. 

Andi Tela: You're blaming the directors. If you were the director, how would you behave? 

Gledis Nano: I did not blame any police chief, but I said that if there are specific cases where the police have shown a lack of professionalism, abuse of power, these police officers should be held accountable.
