Artan Hoxha's testimony in the European Parliament: Political justice is hitting the opposition
The European Parliament held a historic hearing on the situation in Albania ahead of the parliamentary elections in Albania.
Among the three keynote speakers was the President of the University of Tirana for Business, Artan Hoxha.
He sounded the alarm that in Albania, political justice is hitting the opposition.
According to him, if Rama wins the elections, Albania will be a completely autocratic regime.
FULL TESTIMONY
Before the 2021 elections, the EU integration process was on hold, various countries had expressed serious concerns about developments in Albania, for example, the German Bundestag set 15 conditions for the opening of negotiations, among other things, encouraging free and fair elections, but those of 2021 were not at all, neither free nor fair.
I am very sorry to tell you today that the 2025 elections will be much worse compared to 2021.
The main issues are as follows:
1. The ruling party and state institutions cannot be distinguished from each other, worse than in 2021, a major problem highlighted by the OSCE/ODIHR.
2. Organized crime supported the Socialist Party to win the 2021 elections as well as previous elections. The justice system failed to punish the manipulation of the past elections by organized crime, in return this is encouraging organized crime to continue supporting the Socialist Party to win the 2025 elections. It seems that there are 4 stages of organized crime engagement in favor of the Socialist Party's electoral victory:
- It started through direct participation as candidates, then as deputies in the 2013 elections. The decriminalization law has not sufficiently solved this problem even today.
- The cannabisization of all of Albania in 2015 and 2016 before the 2017 elections.
- The rise of Albanian organized crime to the level of international cocaine trafficking before the 2021 elections.
Albania today offers an opportunity for a lot of money laundering, enormous investments of narcocapital, mainly in the retail and construction sectors, before the 2025 elections.
3. Three leaders of the three main opposition coalition parties are being prosecuted by a politically biased judiciary:
- Sali Berisha was held under house arrest for 333 days without a formal charge.
- Ilir Meta, forcibly arrested, in fact in prison without formal charges.
- Fatmir Mediu is in court for a case that has been pending since 2009.
- Fredi Beleri, Ervin Salianji, Jamarbër Malltezi, three other important opposition figures are additional examples of a politically biased judiciary.
4. Fuqia ekonomike është e përqendruar në më pak duar, prokurimet publike dhe kontratat koncesionare duken si një sistem korrupsioni i shpërndarjes në këmbim të besnikërisë dhe mbështetjes për përfitime politike, prodhimi industrial është në rënie, prodhimi bujqësor gjithashtu, krimi i organizuar po investon shumë në ndërtim dhe prona; dy sektorë të ekonomisë që janë në rritje anormale dhe ndërkohë që euro humbi 35% të vlerës ndaj lekut shqiptar, eksportet tona po bien:
- A nuk është kjo një strukturë tipike e ekonomisë së bazuar te droga?
- Edhe sipërmarrësit me përvojë dhe të ndershëm kohët e fundit janë të shqetësuar për të ardhmen e tyre, ata kanë 2 zgjedhje tani, ose të bashkëpunojnë me krimin e organizuar ose të largohen.
5. Drejtësia e vonuar është drejtësi e mohuar. Stoku i çështjeve gjyqësore në pritje nga 35 mijë në vitin 2015, para reformës në drejtësi, aktualisht është mbi 150 mijë; në fakt një vendim gjyqësor i formës së prerë mund të zgjasë shumë e shumë vite. Sipas planit të veprimit të Këshillit të Lartë Gjyqësor, kjo situatë nuk do të përmirësohet para vitit 2030.
- Raporti i Projektit Botëror të Drejtësisë 2024 e rendit Shqipërinë në vendin e 101-të për sa i përket proceseve civile krahasuar me vendin e 55-të në 2015-ën; respektivisht e rendit Shqipërinë në vendin e 92-të në vitin 2024 krahasuar me vendin e 46-të në vitin 2015 për sa i përket proceseve penale.
– Disa thonë se SPAK – Prokurori i Posaçëm Kundër Korrupsionit dhe Krimit të Organizuar – i ka dhënë fund epokës së pandëshkimit – pjesërisht e vërtetë – të gjithë janë të dënueshëm, përveç njërit, kryeministrit – pra, drejtësia e re po i shërben vetëm forcimit të pushtetit të tij nëpërmjet ndëshkimit të opozitës dhe zbardhjes së pushtetit duke dënuar disa nga kryeministrat e varur nga kryeministri.
6. Probleme të tjera janë përkeqësuar si reduktimi i mundësive ekonomike, përkeqësimi i sektorit shëndetësor, arsimit dhe mjedisit, zgjerimi i pabarazive.
- Partia Socialiste afatgjatë në pushtet po prodhon pabarazi mbi baza politike.
- Sipas një sondazhi të Euronews Albania, votuesit socialistë kanë më shumë se dyfish vlerësim pozitiv të situatës ekonomike familjare, krahasuar me votuesit e Partisë Demokratike dhe ata neutrale. Të gjithë këta faktorë kanë kontribuar në rritjen e valës së emigrimit pas pandemisë Covid-19, shumë më e fortë se vala e emigrimit që ndodhi para pandemisë Covid-19.
- Të rinjtë, fuqia punëtore dhe njerëzit në moshë pjellore po emigrojnë çdo ditë. Shqipëria po humbet energjinë dhe krijimtarinë e këtyre njerëzve. Numri i lindjeve ka rënë ndjeshëm dhe popullsia e të moshuarve po rritet
7. Shqipëria po negocion me Komisionin Evropian. Qeveria pretendon se negociatat mund të përfundojnë deri në fund të vitit 2027 dhe anëtarësimi në fund të vitit 2030. Kryeministri flet për një dritare të veçantë mundësie që nuk duhet humbur dhe e vetmja mënyrë është vota për të dhe për mandatin e tij të katërt.
8. If this happens, Albania will no longer be a hybrid system as it is now, but soon a clear authoritarian regime. All powers in one hand. The Albanian opposition is trying to avoid this end, but also many civil factors. We hope that European partners will support Albanian society to avoid such an end. I hope that you will do your best to support these efforts.
