Berisha after meeting with the Venice Commission: The government used the budget

The Chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, spoke after the meeting with representatives of the Venice Commission, where issues related to electoral reform and the institutions of administration of the electoral process were discussed.

Berisha said that the law on party financing was discussed at this meeting and that the opposition has raised concerns about inequalities in the use of public funds during election campaigns.

"The representatives of the Venice Commission have come and we were in a meeting with them, in which we seek the thoughts and opinions of the political forces before they express their recommendations and opinions on the law on party financing. In this meeting, we emphasized, together with my associates, that the issue of party financing is the most fundamental issue of the electoral process. Specifically, we proved with facts that in these elections in terms of financing from budget money, the difference between the two main parties, the Democratic Party and the party in government, has been a minimum of 700 to 1 thousand times. The difference in financing from budget money, between the two main political forces, ranges from 700 to 1 thousand times", declared Berisha.

Berisha stated that the ruling party acted outside the legal provisions for party financing, organizing activities during the campaign with costs ranging from several hundred euros to millions of euros, financed from the state budget.

"Totally excluding what the law determines for the financing of these parties, outside the legal definition, the ruling party organized, within the time prohibited by the law, 4,530 events with a cost ranging from a few hundred euros to 7 million euros, before the budget such as the 'Giro D'Italia', the day before the elections and on election day.

A private organization that was contracted by Edi Rama to influence voters. These 4530 activities are not in the 2.7 billion. If I said 700 mistakes, it is at least 2700 because this is budget money.

"Secondly, every pensioner was given a 100 euro gift during the electoral campaign, budget money, a gift for voting. They were forgiven two days before the elections, money that would go to the budget, 2 billion and 100 million euros. With an impact on over 2300 families, with an impact on 84 thousand active businesses ," said Berisha.
