Socialist Party MP Erion Braçe has reacted harshly to MP Agron Shehaj, who yesterday managed to steal a secret document from the Parliament, the Albania-US military agreement, which was later approved with the votes of the Socialists.
In his response, Braçe accuses Shehaj of violating the protocols for storing classified documents, describing his action as a “crime.” He emphasizes that a deputy may be familiar with a classified document, but does not have the right to dispose of, copy, or photograph it.
Braçe also condemns the attacks on social media against the public servant responsible for preserving the document, calling them another serious violation. According to him, the source of this hate campaign is Shehaj himself.
The socialist MP also accuses Shehaj of exercising violence against the employee, claiming that he pushed and elbowed her to leave, without providing assistance after she fell down the stairs.
Erion Braçe’s full reaction:
The most important military agreement with America in 114 years of the Albanian state;
The everyday banality that makes politics ridiculous and the 36-year-old question – when will we get serious?;
Online hatred towards a public servant who proved how ridiculous politics is;
The culture of law that does not exist in this country!
In short:
The military agreement with the US is the most important agreement in this field with America in the 114 years of the Albanian state; it proves not only the level of military cooperation – not everyone has this – but the level of Albania’s relations with its vital strategic partner. The banality “they are buying the NATO Summit” and any other disinformation that comes to mind is an attack on the agreement on behalf of anyone who does not want this relationship.
Today’s act in the Assembly, in violation of the protocol for storing a classified document – the MP is familiar with it, but cannot dispose of it, it is not his as such, nor as a copy, nor as a photo – is a crime; the banality of a MP, of the banality of politics, does not relativize it as a crime, nor does it make it tolerable, on the contrary!
Online hatred towards a public servant, charged with the responsibility of safeguarding a classified document, is another crime, especially when it is practiced by women against a woman; it is horrific. He has this MP as a source – he possesses a weapon of hatred for attacking anyone and for defending his own ass; the hatred he spread this time and which becomes everyone’s at his level, sought to relativize his crime, but also the bully he is when he initially pushes her, elbows her to get away and doesn’t even turn around to help her when she breaks into pieces when she falls down those stairs!
Dealing with the images and not at all with the acts of a deputy, including violence against a woman, is of course unfair, in the context of relativizing the deputy’s crime!
