The operation of the police and the police itself are subject only to the law, not to the minister, with all his will.”

He keeps companies. What is this thing?”. In a direct message to the current Commissioner, he said: “Continue to stand your ground and lead the police, I’m sure that in the end the truth will win.”

At the end of his speech, he noted that “at the end, when you ask why there is no personal security here and why there is no governance here – it is not because the police are not working properly. It is because there are not enough police officers and not enough budgets, and no other ministry participates in this national mission, but only the police. The fact that you want to be commissioner will not solve the matter if you do not bring standards and budgets. National security consists of many things. This is the Prime Minister of National Security.”
