The new port of Durrës, the new bazaar between Lulzim Basha and Edi Rama

A few weeks ago, Grida Duma, one of the most active figures of the Democratic Party and the right wing of Lulzim Basha, made a special statement on a TV show. ?There is no need at all to speak through this artificial language. For example, the Port of Durrës is a national project, so it can not be taken only by them. In the conditions when he knows that the real opposition is on the street, you can even wait a while and sit down in talks, as happened with the Electoral Code?- declared Duma.

At that time, this attitude of Grida Duma was interpreted by CNA.al as an invitation for another bazaar. As an outstretched hand to commit corruption, to share together the money that are in fact the taxes of Albanians, but also the investment funds that will come to Albania.

Many people read that statement differently. They called it untrue, a small mistake of Grida Duma, and an incorrect attitude from us. But time showed that we were right at the time. Edi Rama was forgiving Lulzim Basha a piece of the major investments that are foreseen to take place in Durrës, from the new port, to the development area for tourism.

And this on the condition that Basha accept the defeat of the elections. After the public request made by Grida Duma, comes the acceptance of the offer by Edi Rama, and Lulzim Basha took his ?share?. The scheme seems to be very clear.

An offshore shell company is coming to Albania. Their administrators are partners and one of the chairman is Erion Isufi, Lulzim Basha?s brother-in-law. This scheme was revealed with clear documents by MCN TV, which reported yesterday that Erion Isfuf?s man was the representative of the company that would take hundreds of thousands of hectares of land in Durrës, as part of the implementation of the $2 billion project by ?EMAAR Group?, a well-known company from Dubai.

Now there is no doubt:a part of the giant investment in Durrës is given to Lulzim Basha, the man who lost the parliamentary elections on April 25. And it is clear who was the bargain: for Lulzim Basha to lose and for Edi Rama to continue to hold the post of Prime Minister. Such corrupt affairs, and money sharing between Edi Rama and Lulzim Basha, we will see in abundance during the next 4 years, as we saw during the past 8 years./CNA.al
