Over the last two days, the Traffic Police have seized hundreds of electric skateboards in Tirana, following an order published not in an official act, but through a Facebook post by the Minister of Interior, Albana Koçiu.
This action has caused anger among citizens, who consider the seizure illegal and a violation of private property. In response, a protest has been announced for Wednesday, at 10:00, in front of the Traffic Police building.
"The seizure of skateboards through an order only on Facebook... The seizure was carried out in clear violation of the law, exposing citizens to unfair financial costs and violating their property," the protest organizers said in a statement.
Notice of protest!
Skateboard hijacking through an order only on Facebook, Wednesday at 10:00 protest in front of the Traffic Police!
Hundreds of skateboards have been seized from Tirana citizens based on an order on social media for which there is no official letter from the Ministry of Interior.
The seizure of these skateboards was done in clear violation of the law, exposing citizens to unfair financial costs and, above all, we are in conditions of violation of private property.
All vehicle owners, faced with this situation, no longer know what to do. If your vehicle has been confiscated and is being held illegally, we invite you to gather on Wednesday, at 10:00, in front of the Traffic Police Commissariat in Tirana to demand accountability for this illegal action.
