Erald Kapri, an MP from the Opportunity Party, held a question-and-answer session in Parliament this Thursday with Interior Minister Besfort Lamallari, regarding the directive to ban the use of scooters and their confiscation by the State Police. According to the Opportunity Party MP, even six months after the decision to ban electric vehicles, the Interior Ministry has still not provided a solution to this issue, penalizing citizens, young men and women who choose to use scooters to reduce costs, especially when fuel prices are very high. According to Kapri, the State Police and the Government are showing force against the most vulnerable, while he stated that in front of the powerful and those with expensive cars, the blue uniforms bow their heads and are unable to demand accountability for the source of income used to afford such expensive vehicles. "Come here in front of Parliament, watch the road for half an hour, dozens of luxury cars driven by young people will pass by, who cannot justify their source of income. Tell me how many of them you have stopped with the Anti-Mafia Law, called to the Police Station, and asked to account for their source of income? None of them. So you show diligence towards the vulnerable. But towards the powerful, you bow your heads. And this is not a model you only show towards the young people with scooters, whom you still do not provide a solution for," expressed Kapri. Kapri also made a comparison, saying that teenagers with scooters are pursued by the Police as if they were cocaine dealers, and not young men and women going to work or school at a lower cost for their own and their families' pockets. "There are videos showing police officers beating teenagers as if they were cocaine dealers. Is this normal? Meanwhile, with the powerful, you bow your heads, Mr. Minister." Kapri accused the Government of having lost touch with the reality in which Albanians live every day, while recalling that his draft law submitted 4 months ago to solve the scooter issue is still sleeping in the drawers of Parliament, raising concerns that another corrupt project is being prepared, which would also benefit from electric vehicles that, besides helping young people economically in this country, are also quite environmentally friendly. "It has been 4 months since I brought the legislative initiative to Parliament, and you remain silent because apparently another project is being prepared for the next oligarch on how to capture this growing market," said Kapri.
