Berisha at the EPP meeting: Albania is fighting dictatorship, we are grateful

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, participated in a meeting of the EPP group held in Strasbourg.

In his speech, Berisha presented the current situation in Albania, which is being governed by a dictatorship that seeks to suppress the opposition. The chief democrat brought up examples of the arrests and imprisonment of Fredi Beleri and Ervin Salianji, among others.

Berisha said that Albanians are fighting a dictatorship as he asked for help from the EPP.

Berisha: To secure a fourth term, Edi Rama, who came to this institution and gave a speech that was very reminiscent of Hoxha or Gaddafi, decided to arrest three leaders of the main opposition parties for his fourth term. He arrested the chairman of the Democratic Party, placed the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, under house arrest for 330 days on false charges after an investigation that lasted four years. He was accused of having given 400 meters of public land to his son-in-law, while the land had never been public. According to official documents, it was private land that belonged to his grandparents. He was one of half a million people who got back their properties confiscated by the communist regime. Violating every law and every constitution, he was blocked from communicating with lawyers.

But a few months ago, he arrested the leader of the second opposition party, Ilir Meta, as a person under investigation. He was arrested, mistreated in the street, dragged, beaten, without being shown any arrest warrant. The third, the leader of the third opposition party, Fatmir Mediu, a former defense minister, is in criminal proceedings for a case that was tried 15 years ago and there are no new facts.

The regime takes away the opposition's mandates. Edi Rama took away his mandate and arrested Fredi Beleri. He is currently a member of the European Parliament. He was arrested with false testimony, and although he was elected, he was never allowed to take the oath, because Rama wanted at all costs that Beleri not become mayor of Himara. This is because, for mafia interests, Edi Rama had participated in a public property, treating it as his property, while it was not. Thus, Beleri spent a year and a half in prison, was not allowed to take the oath and lost his mandate as mayor.

A young MP, named Ervin Salianji, had the courage to publish a wiretap by a brave journalist, which revealed the facts that the brother of the Minister of the Interior, Fatmir Xhafaj, was wanted in Italy because he had been sentenced to eight years as the leader of a cocaine trafficking ring in Bologna, and who directed the traffic from Vlora to Italy. The next day, they transferred the minister’s brother to Italy, but for five years they did everything they could to imprison MP Salianji, accusing him of false testimony, although he had never submitted any official documents or evidence.

Now, if you look at Albania, it is a country where the principle of presumption of innocence no longer exists. 67% of detainees are in prison without trial. They simply arrest and imprison citizens. This is the truth in this country. Torture is common. Deaths in Albanian prisons are common. Now, if you look at Albania, it is a country where the presumption of innocence no longer exists. 67 percent of those arrested are in pretrial detention.

They just arrest them and throw them in jail. This is the truth in this country. Torture is common, deaths in Albanian prisons are common.

Ladies and gentlemen, Albania is emerging as a country with drug cartels and organized crime.

The Albanian Prime Minister himself hosted in his office a coordinator of all these criminal organizations and his name is very well known.

Rama offers them, they control all the construction permits in the country. Whoever comes to Tirana can see many towers rising. But investigative journalists have discovered that only 20 percent of the money comes from the banking system, the rest comes from underground.

Murderers, traffickers, serial killers make the law in elections. The political justice controlled by Edi Rama does not deal with this crime.

...

We must fight, fight, fight.

In a dictatorship, you have no other option. But whatever help this institution can provide, we are very grateful.

In two days, the European Parliament's foreign affairs committee will organize a hearing on Albania.

This exchange is a good message that we send to Albanians for your great interest.
