Democratic Party MP, Ina Zhupa, has reacted sharply regarding the tragic accident in Durrës, where 2 children lost their lives while another is in serious condition.
She has criticized the way drunk driving cases are handled. In a Facebook post, Zhupa stated that these events can no longer be considered "accidents" or "negligence," but as intentional acts that endanger the lives of others.
According to her, anyone who gets behind the wheel drunk is fully aware of the consequences and the danger they create.
Zhupa called for changes to the Criminal Code, demanding that such cases be treated as serious crimes against life and not as simple violations of traffic rules.
She also expressed her condolences to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to the injured child, emphasizing that justice must be equal to their pain and provide the right response.
"Today is a black day that should shake us all.
I cannot find the right words to express my deepest condolences to the families who have lost a part of their soul, their children. I pray with all my heart for the recovery of the injured child.
This is an opportunity to reflect as legislators, we cannot continue to call "accidents" or "negligence" cases when someone gets behind the wheel drunk. This is a conscious act, where the car turns into a weapon and the risk to the lives of others is intentional.
It is time for the Criminal Code to no longer treat these people as violators of traffic rules, but as perpetrators of serious crimes against life. Anyone who drives while intoxicated does so with full knowledge of the consequences.
"Justice must be at the right height and provide true justice," Zhupa writes.
