'Foltores' Tour in Kurbin, Berisha: With your taxes, Lubia had 300

During his speech from Kurbini, the leader of the Democrat Party, Sali Berisha, strongly denounced the highest level corruption and the systematic plunder of Albanians' assets, citing concrete cases that prove that the regime has used power for personal gain and to favor certain individuals: 'A minister, deputy prime minister, had 300 apartments at her disposal... with your money, with your taxes, with your children's school money, with the medicines of your sick.' He also denounced the government's ties to organized crime and illegal actions that violate security and justice for citizens: '28 deputies have been brought in by gangs, drug cartels, the Troplins, the Çelajs... Tens of thousands of temporary jobs, building permits, property certificates during the elections.'

Berisha : Good evening and my most heartfelt greetings and the most boundless gratitude, the greatest respect to you, the men and women of Kurbin, the boys and girls of this district, who are in this hall, which took place tonight in Kurbin, in Albania and wherever you are.
Your support for democracy, your support for Albania has had and has had an extraordinary importance.
Dear political leader of the district, deputy speaker of the assembly Agron Gjekmarkaj.
Dear chairman of the Democratic Party, dear deputies of Kurbin, Lezha and Mirdita.
Dear mayor of Mirdita, candidates for deputies.
Dear friends, I am with you today in one of the most critical moments for the country, in one of the most powerful tests of the Democratic Party in its entire existence. Today, with what you hear and what we hear, Albania is a dictatorship as corrupt as any other ever in Europe, but identical to the dictatorships that African countries suffered from 30 years ago, of the Bokasso type, of the Idi Amin type, Gedaf, or Mobutu.
Those dictatorships in decline, collapsed due to powerful movements, but showed that they had stolen billions and billions of dollars from their own nations. Perhaps those who have followed the developments with interest, read and heard that Gedaf had 6 or 8 billion deposited in Swiss banks, others in other banks, so they were not thieves of millions or hundreds, but of billions.
Imagine, dear friends, what a heavy weight the billionaire thieves had on the people, on the Albanians, with Edi Rama at the head. A first file was investigated for a minister, deputy prime minister, and in the first browsing it turns out that she had 300 apartments. Neither you nor I could imagine that she could have 300 apartments.
So, with your money, with your taxes, with your children's school money, with the taxes on food, with the medicines of your sick, sharing the taxes with the builders of public works, she had secured 300 apartments for herself.
And I guarantee you, here we will be, it is not the complete list. We have heard about dictators, about thieves, about jewelry, diamonds, but only one of them, named Gys Agassi, a criminal, had in his wine cellar bottles of wine that the Emperor of Japan does not have. 4 million euros of wine bottles. 33 thousand, 40 thousand euros of wine bottles. All with your money. All with stolen money. The closest person to the Prime Minister was this one, from the Prime Minister's family.
This drug cartels' coordinator, who did it every day, even if you remember, let's go back to the campaign, I denounced him almost every night because he would gather the Troplins and Çelajs in a bar at the Kavaja rock. And when I denounced them there, they changed the bar, they went to another bar.
Here is this man, closest to Edi Rama, so he had the wine bottles in Bodrum that said Prime Minister's wine cellar, the most expensive that exist.
You have not yet seen what they hide in the luxury and super luxury boxes and safes.
But we learned that their thefts have no limits.
Two yachts, Belinda Balluku, two yachts, a former babysitter who barely made ends meet in the neighborhoods of Athens, returns as a municipal employee, and now with two yachts, with your money, all bought.
