How much was LaCivita paid? Mediu: Expenditures are transparent at the CEC

The Chairman of the Republican Party, Fatmir Mediu, spoke about the DP's electoral campaign, also focusing on its leader, Chris LaCivita.

Invited to "7pa5" on Vizion Plus, Mediu was asked how much LaCivita was paid by the opposition. He said that everything is transparent in the CEC, but that is not the focus of the debate at the moment.

"According to legal obligations, you make your declarations. If we turn the focus back to payments, it will return to the focus of political debate. Transparency is defined by law. All campaign expenses are presented to the CEC and they have a limit on how much you can spend. Edi Rama should talk about transparency? Do you know how many advisors he has? He has hired advisors from Israel, people who deal with social networks, etc. We are transparent about who we work with. Edi Rama has continuously lobbied in the US, he has done it directly and indirectly. Everything is in accordance with the law. How much the opposition spends is a matter for the opposition, not Edi Rama. If the opposition's expenses exceed the limit, this could be a matter for debate ," Mediu said.

Mediu emphasized that the US administration has begun to address issues related to deliberate sanctions by the previous administration, also referring to the Biden administration's declaration of Berisha as "persona non grata".

"We discussed the situation in Albania. His presence in terms of managing the situation and the messages he has conveyed is an added value for the opposition. "I am an American citizen," he told me, "I have this political relationship, I support the opposition, I do not come on behalf of the administration," but he is in constant communication with the administration. "I do not do anything that conflicts with the interests of President Trump," he said. The Trump administration has begun to address issues related to the deliberate sanctions by the previous administration ," Mediu said.
