Former police chief Arben Hajdarmataj has spoken about the criminal situation in Shkodra.
According to Hajdarmataj, Shkodra is in this state of terror due to the government's inaction, because if the government wants to fight crime, it has all the capacity to do so.
He stated that if Edi Rama truly has the fight against crime across Albania, it is very easy to crack down on these criminal groups.
Hajdarmataj also said that "no matter how powerful these criminal groups are technologically or financially, the state is always more powerful because the mechanisms and organization of the state are superior to any type of criminal group."
"Shkodra is in this situation with this pronounced criminal activity because of politics, in that it has the practical possibility to serve crime. A group with criminal activity serves politics or whoever is in power because the opposition has no practical possibility to protect the criminal group with anything. The criminal group serves politics because it has the possibility because politics has the theoretical and practical possibility to protect it. Shkodra and Elbasan are the two cities that have been misused by politics and all these criminal groups are politically supported for certain purposes.
We have cases in Shkodra that during the elections, even the last ones, criminal groups that citizens have seen in person and voice, exerting pressure, intimidating citizens, not allowing them to go vote, and all this is what politics uses these criminal groups to achieve their political goal of getting 1 or 2 more deputies. If political decision-making and the government in this case, Edi Rama, really has the fight against crime throughout Albania, it is very easy to hit these criminal groups.
"No matter how powerful these criminal groups are technologically or financially, the state is always more powerful because the mechanisms and organization of the state are superior to any type of criminal group. If the government wants to fight it, it fights it, if it wants to leave it in such a state, it allows it," Hajdarmataj told "Syri TV".
