Sara Demushi

During a tense moment at the recent protest, I reacted publicly and denounced two MPs in a tense and emotionally charged situation, not only for me, but I believe for every journalist present. As a journalist, aware of the weight of public speech, I feel obliged to clarify that I did not intend to instigate any investigation.

This is not a retreat, but an honest reflection to defend the values ​​I represent: professionalism, objectivity and responsibility. Mistakes happen. It is important to admit them and correct them with dignity. I also want to clarify that I have no claims against Klevis Balliu, who came at that moment to calm the situation.

The Tirana Police has referred the materials on the complaint to the Special Prosecution Office against DP MP Edi Paloka and candidate Klevis Balliu, for the criminal offense of intimidation due to duty.

According to the police, they prevented the media from interviewing them, especially the journalist in question, who then filed a complaint with the Tirana Police.

Due to jurisdiction, the file has been forwarded to SPAK for further action. Preliminary actions were carried out by Police Station No. 3, which also has under its jurisdiction the square where the DP protest, which claims vote theft by the majority on May 11, took place.

This criminal proceeding comes immediately after the incident that occurred during the protest on Friday (May 16), where Paloka and Balliu attacked journalists.
