Former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj has also spoken about the cannabisization of the country.
In his interview today, Ahmetaj said that he told Edi Rama that cannabis would criminalize the economy, but Rama did not listen.
- Did it have to be your turn to be a victim of this system for you to speak so openly and so worried about what is happening in Albania. You haven't spoken once. Over 3 billion euros are being given as a gift to a man, and you were with Endri Fuga and Arbë Mazniku and you said that we didn't eat. Yes, yes, that bread is being given to a man, whose money he is cleaning, it is not known. Don't you feel responsible that you were one of the main pillars of Rama's government and did not react?
There are two truths that should be mentioned. The first truth is that each one of us has the moral responsibility, that with our naivety and our political loyalty, we have allowed the creation of a quasi, or secret autocracy to be created, and the second is that none of us escapes moral responsibility. If this moral responsibility had punishment, from one unit to 100 units, maybe we could have many units at the expense of moral responsibility, because we are human and we have also made mistakes of naivety, trust, and loyalty. Çim Peka I have spoken through public and non-public ways. Public is the reduction of debt and deficit, setting the ceiling of 5% of last year's income for PPP. This is talk with action. To reduce the debt is to preserve the financial system and the economic balance. To maintain the deficit is to create a healthy fiscal balance to allow growth. This is the work I have done. Second, I have government meetings in Tirana, Durrës and Gjirokastër where I have spoken about the eradication of cannabis in 2014. That guy was arrested, who even went to prison on his back. Yes, they compressed it. I talked about eradicating cannabis, I said it would only empower crime.
-At the government meeting...
Arben Ahmetaj: In Durrës. I don't believe that today anyone has the guts to say that, but I heard Ben Ahmetaj say that.
- What was the Prime Minister's reaction...
It doesn't matter, ask him. Ask me did you speak or not. If I tell you how I spoke, it is verified with letters and numbers, with writing...
- If you have spoken against sewerage in a government meeting and after this opposition of this platform, the prime minister made you a minister and gave you a position, it means that he was not angry with you and thought like you, but this thing there was the minister, that guy who did prison.
It's not very important...
- It is very important for the public...
It may be important to the public, we have time to talk about the details of these in the future, if I continue to be who I am standing. You told me you didn't speak, but I did...
- Cannabis was the criminalization of the economy...
For me, I have expressed it repeatedly. Today, no one wants to say it, but Ben Ahmetaj was against it, he strongly demanded the eradication of cannabis because it will strengthen crime. That's how it happened. Today, criminal groups got their first kick from cannabis. It is not discussed. Where is Colombia? If Colombia would be the most developed country in the world.
