EP fact-finding mission to Albania, Boçi: Confirms concerns about

The Vice President of the Democratic Party, Luciano Boçi, commented on the decision to send a fact-finding mission to Albania by the European Parliament, which will closely verify the concerns raised, including allegations about the influence of organized crime on the electoral process and political life in the country.

Speaking on SYRI TV, Boçi said that the opposition's concerns about the political and electoral situation in Albania have now been confirmed at the international level. According to him, it has been clearly established that organized crime in Albania is the determining factor that seals the political balance or that decides where the political victory will lean.

Boçi : The important thing is that there is a fundamental concern despite the media's constant spin around Rama. There are also very important decisions. The voice of the opposition has reached there and even the positions were based on facts beyond those sent by the opposition. The sending of a fact-finding mission has been approved, as the European popular parties do, now the European Parliament is also in the same line.

There is a mission that will soon come to Albania to collect the facts and concerns presented by the Foreign Affairs Committee and the relevant Commissioner, who has clearly stated that the elections in Albania have not been violated, but elections in Albania in the terms he has presented do not exist, because votes were obtained through pressure, they were obtained through the forgiveness of fines, they were obtained through pensioner bonuses.

As is also the most important, it has been clearly established that organized crime in Albania is the determining factor that seals the political balance or that decides where the political victory will lean and this is a great concern of the EP, which confronts organized crime for the role it plays in Albania, but now also in that very large specific role that it plays in their countries, becoming a very worrying element because it has been extremely empowered and is an entity that affects social life but apparently even beyond social life.

Meanwhile, in Albania it decides political destinies. It is an entity that has been closely merged with the majority over the years. Previously, it also had its direct representatives in politics in Albania at the levels of local and central government. It has changed practice because it now sends representatives not so directly connected, but directly appointed by them who protect their interests and most of all this was manifested in its most complete form, in the elections of May 11. The important thing is that these reactions are evident, tangible and we have a very strong reaction.
