Violence against protesting students, Taulant Balla defends police: They fulfilled their duty

The head of the Socialist Party’s Parliamentary Group, Taulant Balla, has sided with the police, which in recent days has used violence against students protesting for Edi Rama’s removal.

In his speech in Parliament, Balla stressed that the police were acting in accordance with the duties and powers assigned to them by law.

“No statement justifies violence. The police are fulfilling their duty in accordance with the provisions governing them,” Balla said in Parliament, while his speech was interrupted by Democratic lawmakers.
