Government media invents the article about the "reaction of DP figures" against Berisha & LaCivita. The author does not exist and the text is a product of ChatGPT (whichs says it's fabricated)

The newspaper "Tema" of the publisher, very close to Rama and Veliaj, Mero Baze, has published an article expressing the disappointment of "democrats who do not want to be identified" for the DP campaign strategist, Chris LaCivita, and the failure of the campaign, among other things due to his and Berisha's fault. The first curiosity that arises from such an article with a foreign author is the source: in which foreign media the (alleged) author Helent Bratt published the analysis on the elections in Albania. A Google search does not yield any journalistic reference associated with such a name. The qualification as 'analyst of Balkan issues' is an invention of Tema.  

For a detailed search and explanation, Politiko.al turned to ChatGPT (artificial intelligence) with the question of where the article was originally published and who is the author?

The answer is not very surprising, but only confirms logical suspicion and is detailed as follows:

“The article you mentioned, which describes the ambiguities within the Democratic Party of Albania following the 2025 parliamentary elections and the involvement of American political consultant Chris LaCivita, appears to be a compilation composed of multiple sources. It does not correspond to a single publication or an identifiable author.

Key elements of the story – such as LaCivita’s engagement, extensive lobbying efforts, and internal criticism after the elections – have been reported in various Albanian media outlets. For example, BalkanWeb and Top Channel have covered LaCivita’s role in the DP campaign and the party’s strategic decisions (BalkanWeb, Top Channel).

Also, LaCivita himself has spoken in several interviews, including one with The New York Times, about his role and thoughts on the political situation in Albania (Euronews Albania).

Given that the article contains information gathered from several reports and does not cite a single source, it is likely to be a synthesised summary of various journalistic articles.  

Based on the available information, there is no verifiable evidence that a journalist or author by the name "Helen Bratt" exists, at least in relation to the article you mention.

Extensive searches through reliable databases and international media do not yield any results for a journalist by this name.

There is a "Helen Kruger Bratt" listed on IMDb, known for her work in television production, including roles as a production manager and executive producer on several television series. However, she is not known as a journalist, and there is no evidence that she has written any articles related to Albanian politics or the Democratic Party.

"Since the name 'Helen Bratt' does not appear in any reliable source, it is possible that it is a pseudonym or that the article was not written by a professional journalist. If you have any other information about the origin of the article, I can help you verify it further."

What is the purpose of the article? Exploring the possibilities of division in the Democratic Party and encouraging voices dissatisfied with the result, who may see Sali Berisha and the American strategist chosen by him as the main part of the defeat. In other words, exploring new paths that interest Rama, the defeat did not come from theft, but from incompetence.

Rama and the media close to him need this alarm, especially after the fiasco with the Diaspora vote, which resulted in a stupid manipulation. It is therefore an attempt to change the narrative: the problem is not Rama, who stole them, but Berisha with the team that lost them!
