Iseni Rebuts Ademi: The Police Officer Was Not Promoted, You Are Misleading the Public

Astrit Iseni, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs from the VLEN coalition, has responded to allegations made by former DUI MP Arbër Ademi. Ademi claimed that the police officer who demonstratively removed the Albanian flag in Kumanovo years ago had been promoted, while his two sons had been employed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In his public response, Iseni dismissed the claims as false and insisted that the police officer in question had not been promoted.

Addressing Ademi, he said the former MP, whom he called “the party’s favorite,” had enjoyed the privileges of power for years without daring to resolve the real problems facing Albanians, while now, according to Iseni, he has turned lies into his only form of opposition activity.

The deputy minister firmly reiterated that Ademi’s main claim was unfounded, stating: “The police officer Arbër Ademi is talking about has not been promoted. Period.”

According to Iseni, the opposition is resorting to manipulation because it has no political alternative to offer citizens. He added that Albanians are not naive and that everyone in Kumanovo knows one another, so citizens know the truth very well. In conclusion, Iseni stressed that a lie does not become the truth even if it is repeated a hundred times.
