The real victim is the Albanian state

The press has published five months late an event which raises strong questions about the integrity of high officials of the Albanian state. Minister Delina Ibrahimi's husband has physically confronted the director of an Agency under his wife, after he called him to go to his business to "clarify".

I am not going into the details of the cutting tool, nor of the closure of the case by justice, but what remains open is the integrity of those who govern.

I wouldn't have reacted if I hadn't read the reasoning of Delina Ibrahimi, who treats the case as if her ex-official went to her husband's business for a fight and let it be understood that her husband didn't call her.

In fact, she was called by her own husband, and a minister's husband calling her officials to informal meetings is a big problem for the government and governance.

Secondly, what is even more serious in her statement is the fact that she says that neither she nor her successor has removed her from the directorship for several months.

Now, if this director of the Credit Handling Agency went to the minister's husband's business and had a physical fight, then at least he should have been dismissed from office that day and brought to justice.

The fact that they took it well until they closed the case and then threw it on the street is full proof of the fact that the minister's husband is responsible in that conflict and regardless of the degree of physical injury, he has seriously violated the integrity of the Albanian administration .

What Ms. Ibrahimi mentions as arguments in her favor are actually against her. At the time the conflict happened she should have reported it to the government and should have behaved like a minister, and not like the wife of a street brawler. Either she dismissed the subordinate official, or took responsibility for her husband's act.

This story, which I did not dismiss, is very serious.

Even more serious is the fact that her husband calls former officials to meetings to "clarify" himself as the strongman of the neighborhood. Shkëlzen Berisha has a private office in power, where he called the people of the state and gave them tasks. Now it is too much to have ministerial men to give you wood, or posts.

The others do not matter, if he shot him with a knife, if he was not stabbed, or if they were beaten with fists.

I don't know how much the victim of the minister's husband or the minister's husband himself was hurt by that banality, but the state is clearly wounded. / Theme
