Ilir Meta’s empire has begun to crumble. The Socialist Movement for Integration, which

rose from well-known names, and managed to have a large electoral support under Meta, emerging as the third force, but also played the role of King Maker in forming governments, is now touching the bottom under the leadership of Monika Kryemadhi.

The DP-SP pact of May 17, 2017, was the first blow dealt to the party of the President of the Republic, which as a secret agreement aimed at destroying the SMI. Even today, Rama-Basha have started the behind-the-scenes efforts to take out of the game the “empire” of Meta and Kryemadh in the elections of April 25, 2021.

This was also acknowledged by the number two of the Socialist Party, Taulant Balla, who said that they had agreed with Lulzim Basha to take Meta’s party for scrap. “The SMI is in a process of disintegration. Their political figures have sought to get closer to the Socialist Party. What is happening, is that we agreed with Lulzim Basha, he in 2017, and we now, to take the SMI for scrap. We are all working together for this”- said Balla.

But how is the SMI being destroyed under the leadership of Monika Kryemadhi? It is clear that after the departure of Ilir Meta from the SMI, the deputies and councilors are no longer obeying Kryemadhi and have officially started leaving the party.

The departure of Robert Bitri, Spartak Braho, Lefter Koka, Nasip Naço, Gledion Rehovica or even the former director of the port of Durrës and the former director of Civil Aviation, Aleksandër Lipivani, have brought the contraction of the president’s party.

But among those who left and joined the SP, are also municipal councilors. These actions show that the dissolution of the SMI has officially begun. For some time, Monika’s party has been gripped by an internal crisis. Although she has avoided this fact, denying in public, this crisis is becoming more visible.

But the fear of the collapse of the Meta-Kryemadhi empire, has also led to the launch of blackmail with video-eavesdropping on those who left. But although until yesterday they were part of the SMI, today Meta is accusing the departed as incriminated persons, and that according to him with their departure the party has been cleansed.

The head of state chooses not to call even collaborators, those who have left the political force he founded, among them Nasip Naço. Fear of overthrowing the SMI has been accompanied by unconstitutional behavior by the president.

Meta has completely stripped off the president’s suit, and launched the campaign for the SMI, holding a series of meetings. This implies that Meta himself cannot trust the party of his wife Monica, as he is seeing that the empire he set up himself, is collapsing before his eyes.

Now even the polls in the media near the opposition, reveal a SMI weaker than ever. This shows that the support of citizens to the party of Meta and Monika has fallen so much, that even their televisions are not able to propagate SMI as a “winner”./CNA.al

PS-PD nxjerrin skenarin për të shkërrmoqur LSI

On January 21, 2011, the then opposition led by Edi Rama, organized a protest, or a demonstration, as the Prime Minister would call it today. Thousands of people gathered on the boulevard “Dëshmorët e Kombit”, there were violent events, the police were massacred by protesters, according to political orders given by the leaders of the Socialist Party.

Republican Guard forces then tragically kill 4 innocent people. The first person in charge and the first organizer was Edi Rama. 10 years ago he took people there, abandoned them on the boulevard and ran away by himself, didn’t stand at the top of the crowd, and didn’t turn out to protect his supporters.

He allowed them to clash and for almost 5-6 hours with the police, the use of an unstoppable violence from the crowd on the police, and then from the police on the crowd. Edi Rama is today the Prime Minister of Albania, and today after 10 years, there is still no justice. So he got what he wanted, the power! He became Prime Minister but didn’t bring justice, prosperity or development as he promised his supporters at the time, but sowed corruption and PPP, after the alliance with Ilir Meta. Ilir Meta was at that time Minister of Economy, taking the place of Dritan Prifti, while was published the famous video of the bribe of 700.000 euros for Gimi, a video interception carried out by Dritan Prifti against Ilir Meta.

A video that showed quite a bit how the structures of the SMI functioned, its leader, the ministers, and where the Albanian state had degraded. The video provoked a harsh reaction from Ilir Meta, who called Edi Rama the head of the spy sect, drug users and the like, but forgot any accusation. In fact, the people in that protest were brought out by Edi Rama for Ilir Meta’s bloc, but Rama also forgot Meta’s bloc. The two formed an alliance after 2 years, and came to power receiving almost 1 million votes, over the blood of those killed, over the January 21 bloc, and over spies.

And here we are today. Ilir Meta is the president elected by the socialists, that is, from those who came out in protest for the corruption bloc of Ilir Meta. And today Ilir Meta wants to overthrow them from power, and with whom does he want to do this? With Lulzim Basha, Minister of Interior of January 21, the man who didn’t came out from his house for hours and days. At that time he was very scared, and surrendered to the office of the former Minister of Interior, then Minister of Transport, Sokol Olldashi.

He was scared and shivering, his face was yellow. He was the man in charge of the police force that had killed 4 people, 4 innocent victims, supporters of the Socialist Party who had come out to demand the punishment of Ilir Meta for his corruption, and they were killed on the boulevard while Basha was Minister of Interior and headed the Republic Guard. Today, Lulzim Basha is in opposition, and he has taken Ilir Meta in the coalition together with his bloc of corrupt affairs and his party, and he is aiming to come to power to overthrow Edi Rama, the one who came to power with the bloc of Ilir Meta and the blood of the 4 killed persons.

Lulzim Basha is also stepping on their blood, this time he wants to use it just like Rama to come to power, but otherwise, taking with him the one that people went to protest 10 years ago, Ilir Meta, was today is the president elected by the socialists. And Meta together with Lulzim Basha, who was the Minister of Interior on January 21, want to come to power. This is January 21 of 10 years ago, this is January 21 today, where Edi Rama, Ilir Meta and Lulzim Basha had both their hands stained with blood’s victims.

People protested for Ilir Meta, organized by Edi Rama, and the Minister of Interior was Lulzim Basha. Then Edi Rama joined Ilir Meta and ruled with him for 4 years, and now Meta is taken over by Lulzim Basha, but on the way Rama and Basha also govern together.

So these are the ones who are 3 stained with the blood of the victims of January 21, an event which has not yet brought to justice those responsible. If this were to happen, only then would be calmed down the souls of their families, but perhaps would begin a new era in Albanian politics. But this era does not start, as Edi Rama doesn’t love today’s justice, as
he is afraid of facing justice tomorrow./CNA.al

21 janari dje dhe sot!

The Top Story show on Top Channel, tried yesterday to present to the public an alleged investigation, and a complete revelation of the “Santo file”, on the criminal event of June 2014, when was killed the banker Artan Santo.

CNA.al brings below some data and facts, which Top Story hides. In fact, if you follow the show closely, it doesn’t bring any news or unknown fact to the public or institutions that have conducted the investigation. The show is in fact a repetition of the investigation of the journalist Artan Hoxha, to whom have been added some testimonies of Santos’s friends, who don’t say anything to shed light on the event.

They just talk about the victim. All the characters or tracks narrated, have been revealed several times by journalists in the media. Moreover, the show had started to be prepared many months ago, but its broadcast was suspended to be given yesterday, having nothing essential and investigative.

Yesterday Top Story did nothing else but only showed what the Prosecution had done with this investigation, so it showed some evidence, which didn’t lead anywhere. But intentionally or unintentionally, hides some other evidence and characters, who were questioned about the murder of banker Santo.

The Top Story show made it clear yesterday, that beyond revealing the truth, there was another mission. Here are 3 important details from the investigative file, that Top Story on Top Channel didn’t dare to mention.

The first are two public figures like Irfan Hysenbelliu and Grida Duma, old friends and collaborators with each other, but also close to the banker Artan Santo. Two are characters, while the third detail is the last call.

First, Top Story somewhere scarcely shows a document, where it is said that the banker had decided to sell the shares of “Focus Group”, because his partner didn’t repay the loan regularly, a loan of several million euros.

“Focus Group”, which includes Balkanweb, News24, Gazeta Shqiptare and Radio RASH, is a company with several media, once owned by both Santos and businessman Irfan Hysenbelliu. At that time there was talk of an open conflict between the two businessmen, and then 50 percent of the shares of the banker Santo, were bought by Irfan Hysenbelliu.

Threatening sms and strong clashes between them, were also talked about in the media circles. The prosecution file has many details that Top Story on Top Channel, took care to not reveal. In the files that claims to own, Top Story also has a well-known political figure, and yet he didn’t say a single word about it.

She is Grida Duma, who has been a close associate of Artan Santo. Moreover, the two have been seen in each other’s company, and have also been photographed. Duma is known as a friend of banker Santo, and on the day of the assassination she was one of the people who sought protection from the state.

At first, she went to the Prime Minister, and then stayed for almost 3 hours in the office of the former Minister of Interior, Saimir Tahiri. The latter has never made public the fact why that day Grida Duma “surrendered” to his office.

But in a televised clash, Tahiri asked the Duma to speak publicly about what she had asked at the Interior Ministry. This fact that shocked Duma, but in political and media circles has been confirmed by some sources, that after the murder of Santo, Grida Duma stayed for many hours in Tahiri’s office.

The last call

Another detail from the show, is the last phone call or calls of the late banker Artan Santo. The banker’s phone, sms or phone calls, would tell a lot the public opinion. The show tried to emphasize that it was not confirmed that the last call was that of Saimir Tahiri.

But on the other hand he didn’t show who was the last, for the fact that having the complete file of the prosecution as it is claimed, there are also files where it is clearly said who was the last phone call of Artan Santo./CNA.al
