Premier Edi Rama’s ally Spartak Ngjela said in an interview in “Dritare” on Vision Plus it was the Prime Minister in person that allowed the drugs cultivation in Albania.

According to Ngjela, Rama allowed the drugs for a major reason, to save the country from the degradation.

“In the last two years, the government was in an embargo. The government was in decadence, it could be save or probably not. Then, they put cannabis on the market and liberated it. Putting it on the market and just leaving it in the air are two different things. If you put it on the market, the state earns money. After putting it on the market, they spread it in many hands and we felt the effect”, Ngjela said.

“It would have been impossible without the farmers. By putting it on the market, the government had no more need for money, because could take it in other forms of corruption. They put it on the market for the state’s good”, said Ngjela, adding that these things happen because the courts of law do not function in Albania.
