The Democratic Party has reacted to the scandal that occurred at the Security Academy, where 64 students were poisoned by food.

Through a statement to the media, member of the DP leadership, Grigels Muçollari, stated that this institution, which should provide insurance, suffers from basic things. According to Muçollari, this is not an isolated case.

declaration
This behind me is the Security Academy. An institution that, in its name, promises security. An institution that should prepare those who will guarantee the security of citizens. But it is precisely here that the most basic security is missing: food security.
Within just two months, we have had two mass poisonings of students, who ended up in the hospital for medical help. After the first case, investigations and measures were promised. But the fact that the same event was repeated shows that either no measures were taken, or they were completely ineffective.

If a safe meal cannot be guaranteed for students at the Security Academy, what kind of safety can citizens expect in schools, hospitals, dormitories, or any other public institution? What trust can they have in a state that fails even in its most basic obligations?

This is not an isolated incident. It is the consequence of a governance model that has lost its priorities. A governance that is no longer focused on solving citizens' problems, but on maintaining power.

While students are poisoned and citizens are faced with degrading public services every day, the government's energy is spent attacking protesters, delegitimizing critical voices, and shielding itself from accountability.

That's why protests don't arise from anyone's propaganda. They arise from the accumulation of daily failures. From citizens who see that the state fails to guarantee even the most basic standards, but always finds the time and energy to deal with those who protest.

Today, this government is focused on preserving the seat of power, while leaving the seats of institutions empty. Institutions no longer function as guarantees for citizens, but as a facade. And the cost of this is paid by citizens every day.

Food security is not a luxury. It is an obligation. Just like the safety, health, and dignity of every citizen.

Albania needs a government that governs and holds itself accountable. Change is necessary, and the citizen reaction proves this.

Therefore, the civic protest must continue and every citizen who believes in functional institutions and a state that protects people must join in. Change will come, dear citizens, because each of you is rejecting failure and demanding a better Albania.
