Prime Minister Edi Rama stated that the violent protests were intended to provoke the police to create a situation similar to January 21. Rama said that during the protests, a drone with explosives was also neutralized, which, according to him, was targeting the Prime Minister's Office.
" They wanted to provoke another January 21, to provoke the police, by, far from it, creating a symmetrical situation with January 21. We were very aware. We also neutralized an attack with a drone with explosives on the Prime Minister's Office. With this awareness, there was a very clear red line for everyone. Even those who are wearing hoods are the children of this country. They are blind, they are manipulated, they are abandoned, maybe some even by their own family, but they are the children of this country.
And it is scary to watch how on screens people who take on the responsibility of representing public opinion accuse the State Police of disproportionate violence. In France the ratio is 1 to 2.5, in Italy the ratio is 1 to 2. Whoever complains that they were there for peace should know that they should not go after them. That the police do not enter the crowd to do ballet, but to hit those who hit them. Whoever stands around them is with them and not with peace and peaceful protest , "said Rama.
