But in Rinas, where were the police, Mrs. Koçiu?!

There are sentences that you only need to say once and history takes care of turning them into boomerangs. The Minister of the Interior, Ms. Albana Koçiu, declared with all seriousness:
“I do not believe that there is any place in the world where a policeman stands in the kitchen to prevent a son from stabbing his father with a bread knife, or in a place in the world where a policeman stands in the kitchen of a restaurant to prevent a pizza chef from stabbing the chef.”
He said it with conviction, in the tone of someone who is about to explain the absurdity of the demand for complete security. But a few minutes later, reality dealt a cold slap to this institutional cynicism: in Rinas, yes, in Rinas! Where there should be more police than anywhere else, a mafia assassination took place in broad daylight. One killed, one wounded. At the gateway to Albania.
Instead of a policeman in the kitchen, it turns out he wasn't even at the airport! This is no longer a paradox, it's a systemic failure. Worse still: it's a failure that occurs under the accompaniment of propaganda phrases that sound like black humor. What value do conferences on "order and security" have when an assassination occurs right at the heart of national security, at the country's international airport?
National security is not just a word for institutional reports. It begins with the perception of the citizen who feels unprotected at every step on the street, in the market, at the airport. How can a citizen feel safe when an execution occurs in broad daylight in an area filled with police, cameras, and security services?
Where is the prevention that is so often talked about at conferences?
Where are the police intelligence analyses that should have signaled such a danger?
Why do the police always appear after the crime, never before it?
It is not enough to say that “we are investigating”.
The police must be preventive, not decorative. They cannot function as an apparatus that simply arrives with sirens blaring after a tragedy.
In a normal country, after such an event, there would be talk of responsibility, not excuses.
In Albania, unfortunately, there is talk of speeches.
If it doesn't make sense to be a police officer in the kitchen, fine, but it should make sense to be a police officer in Rinas. It should make sense to be in any place where guns speak freely and where gangs share territory without feeling any legal restraint.
Ms. Koçiu, Albania does not require the police to guard every knife of bread, but to not allow the knives of crime to be embedded in the body of the state.
When someone is killed in Rinas, it is no longer a matter of pizzerias or kitchens, it is a matter of national security.
It is a warning that the state is neither in the kitchen, nor on the street, nor at the airport.
It is a state that is nowhere.
