Vice Chair of the Democratic Party (DP), Luciano Boçi has criticized Tuesday the State Police for choosing to block citizens who gathered to protest in Elbasan city against the record fuel price hike. 

On a social media statement, the Democrat also accused the law enforcement of displaying an insulting and unprofessional behavior, as he held Prime Minister Edi Rama responsible for Albanians' money.

"Today, we started the protests from Elbasan.

I sincerely thank all the citizens and drivers who, beyond all their commitments, were today on the boulevard of Elbasan, to protest against the increase in the price of fuel. 

I strongly condemn the insulting and unprofessional behavior of the Elbasan Police who, beyond the interest of the citizens to protest, chose to obey political orders to block the protesters from joining the peaceful assembly! 

Edi Rama must be prepared for any form of reaction from the citizens! They will be more and more. No one will forgive Edi Rama for putting his hand in their pocket, to take their sweat and children's money", stated Boçi.
