Member of the Presidency of the Democratic Party, Gent Strazimiri, guest on the morning show KAFE SHQETO commented on Blinken's visit and the current political situation.

Strazimiri: The visit of the Secretary of the American State Department is always an important event for Albania. Because until now they have come and communicated with the Albanians, about the problems of the Albanians and about the fate of Albania. Mr. Blinken's visit is not prejudicial, in fact it is judged because of the agenda. The purpose of his arrival is not to dictate the problems we have, due to the fact that Albania is rolling every day at the top of the classification of corruption, leaving Albania, lack of happiness, the imposition of the government. Of a government that Albanians themselves did not choose. But as the official announcement says, it is to thank the government, not the Albanians, for hosting the Afghans. It is certainly not an issue that interests the Albanians.

However, they can thank as many times as they want. They can come once a year to thank the government for this work. The government, in fact, this is the problem it has, that instead of solving the problems of the Albanians, it makes you want any of those who are available to come and say, show us how good a government we have. From this point of view, the visit of Mr. Blinken will clearly be followed by several visits of the leaders of the Italian state to come and express their gratitude that we are giving Gjadri and all of Zadrima as a prison for illegal immigrants from Africa.

Probably, as I found out a couple of weeks ago, the chairman of the German CSU, the famous German Bavarian, who also thinks that there will be a corner in this country where he can bring some African immigrants and of course come to thank the government very gratefully and very sincerely because there is no other government in this globe that could do this to its country just to consolidate itself in power, regardless of the wrongs it does to the people.

Besides, I think Mr. Blinken's visit is already sealed. In what view. Mr. Blinken has been misused several times so far. Let me remind you not only of the fact of declaring non-grata without any evidence of the pro-American par excellence in Albania, Sali Berisha. If what we know is true, the milestones in friendship after the reconnection of relations with the USA, all bear the signature of Sali Berisha. It means that the friend par excellence of the USA is now unwelcome with Antony Blinken's firm in the USA. While the persecutor is from the 7.5 billion souls that this world has, they chose him in the 17 best who are the heroes of the fight against corruption in a country drowned in corruption. Where the anti-corruption championship has not been held, but we have Ardian Dvoran as the champion.

These are all things that, unfortunately, show the lowest level of the relationship between an American administration and the Albanian people. From this point of view, Mr. Blinken's visit is historical, but history can be written for good, it can also be written for bad. What I expect him to say is, nothing more than the reconfirmation of these mistakes that I just mentioned to you about the policy of this American administration towards Albania, towards the Albanian people.

The fact that at the lowest point of the development of democracy in Albania, a country that has been suffocated by corruption, where 87 percent of people want to leave and seek salvation elsewhere without having a plan, project or money, with this type of administration with this type of government you have the best relations, this means that the relations between Albania and America are actually at their worst point.
