Lulzim Basha’s last chance
The interim leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, seems to have the last 2 weeks of his political chance to stay in the DP, to be part of it, or to invest further politically. To unite the DP, and make a final contribution.
Lulzim Basha has every historical chance to show that he is a responsible man, and that he really sees politics as the art of the impossible. So when everyone thinks there is no deal, let him enable the deal. So when everyone thinks Basha is stubborn, he can become an open-minded man resolving the conflict.
There are less than 2 weeks left by the National Assembly, which give Lulzim Basha the last chance. He shouldn’t listen to his “crazy” advisors he has around. The battle within the DP cannot be won through clashes with Sali Berisha, with the militant corps against Gazmend Bardhi & Co.
Basha has the chance to unite the Democratic Party. He has the chance to do so by resigning. This act would be a great signal of unity. So, Basha can be offered as a solution for the unification of the DP, with his resignation, being part of the solution, and not the conflict.
Today Lulzim Basha is facing the fact that the party doesn’t want him. But he can regain their support by withdrawing, paving the way for resolving the conflict within the Democratic Party. It is understandable that he can do this by taking possible guarantees, reaching a political agreement within the party, perhaps to be recognized as a faction with all its supporters so that no one leaves, and to remain all in the DP with their contributions.
Because it is clear that the Assembly will be held on the 11th. The electoral body of the Democratic Party is against him, he can no longer stand firmly in charge of it. Local elections are very close. Therefore, the DP has to deal with fundamental problems. It has to deal with its own organization.
In the branches, in the center and everywhere, it should be re-established, and not clash and conflict from within for the personal interest of Luli Basha. He can save himself, precisely through this last chance, by offering his resignation as a political deal, just at a time when no one thinks this within the Democratic Party.
He may be for the last time, the only man to give the Democratic Party a chance to re-emerge. And so it will go down in the history of the DP, as the man who gave the solution, who re-established the party and sacrificed himself for its resurgence, and who didn’t fight against it leading it to complete collapse.
What Basha is doing today aims to overthrow the party. What he can do by withdrawing and guaranteeing a solution, would be the historic victory in the political career of Lulzim Basha./CNA.al

SP has elections in the Albanian Football Federation!
There is nothing to be surprised about! The media publish the audio-tapping of the conversations of the mayor of Tirana, Edion Veliaj, which he doesn’t deny. There is nothing to be surprised about! There are elections in the Albanian Football Federation.
It is the last island not occupied by the Socialist Party. This institution is intended to be brought under control, with the argument that after 20 years Armando Duka should leave the leadership.
For this reason there is a scenario:A charlatan, ridiculous and disgusting candidate like Dritan Shakohoxha is placed in front of him, who will then leave, and Eduart Prodani will be placed in his place. A scheme built long ago by allegedly some personal enemies of Mr.Duka. But in fact, beyond the competition within the sport, the goal is the capture of the Albanian Football Federation by the Socialist Party. In the AFF, in the sector that the SP calls as its internal parts, there is a race.
But it is controlled by hostile groups, by people who don’t serve the Prime Minister Edi Rama for the interests of the latter, or the mayor of Tirana, or any quarrelsome like Erion Braçe who has long attacked Armando Duka.
Duka is not a “saint”. Maybe he is not wanted by everyone, but at least Duka is not a hostage of the government. He is not an instrument used by the SP. And as long as he is like that, it is better to stay Duka again, than any other person who would turn the Albanian Football Federation into a municipal directorate, or in any part of the government, where there would be daily intervention by Ëngjëll Agaçi, or other tools that Edi Rama uses to govern.
The Socialist Party has captured everything. With the last wiretapping we realized that SPAK also has it under its control. We also know that SP has the prosecution, the government in his hands, but he has taken the opposition hostage and uses Lulzim Basha as he pleases.
Now he has to take football as well, as other sports have no interest. The SP intends to win the elections in the Albanian Football Federation, that is why elections are taking place. Not to elect its president, but it is a battle for the SP to take over the president of the federation, in order for him to turn into a soldier of Edi Rama./E.K-CNA.al

The new oligarch with 10 billion Lek / Lulzim Basha will increase his wealth with 4.7 million euros from albanian taxes
The dismissed chairman of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha will benefit about 4.7 million euros, money which comes directly from the taxes of albanians citizen. A source close to Lulzim Basha’s family told CNA.al that after the family tragedy, the death of Mr.Basha’s father-in-law a few days ago will be soon prepared all the legal documents of the inheritance of Xhaferr Isufi, Aurela’s father, Lulzim Basha’s wife.
The amount that Basha and his wife will benefit is at least 4.7 million euros, not counting here other inherited assets or available monetary values. According to the Albanian Civil Code, from article 316 to article 418 it is explained in detail how is passed the inheritance.
And in case Mr. Isufi has left a testament, Lulzim Basha benefits again, as he has space through “Legal Reserve” due to his minor girls. Another legal expert told CNA.al that the value of 14 million euros obtained in the Strasbourg Court by the late Xhaferr Isufi, has not yet been paid by the government.
At the moment this amount will be disbursed according to law of the Albanian state, will pass to his wife and 2 children, respectively by about 4.7 million euros each. And it should be noted that this amount of money must be paid by the State Treasury from the taxes of albanians citizen.
An amount that is expected to bring Lulzim Basha’s wealth to a dizzying value, which can reach the value of 9 million dollars or 10 billion Lek. Lulzim Basha has currently declared wealth of almost 2 billion Lek or nearly 2 million dollars. With the taxes of albanians inherited from the trials of his late father-in-law, Lulzim Basha will soon be the youngest oligarch of Albania./ CNA.al

Incinerators, a corrupt affair that will be closed with a procedure, like the crimes of Lulzim Basha
It seems that the corrupt affair of the century, that of incinerators with a value of up to 430 million euros, will have the same fate as that of Lulzim Basha. Not because of losses, but because of victories through legal procedures.
The incinerator scandal has already led to the arrest of a former minister. And this only for the incinerator of Elbasan. So for one of the three investments of 178 million euros, and for the smallest of them that costs 22 million euros.
A corrupt affair, where Stela Gugallja was declared wanted by the police, as the owner of “Albtek Energy”, together with Klodian Zoto, who was also the builder of this incinerator through the company ITS, and was arrested the former Minister of Environment Lefter Koka, who has signed this concession.
But in the parliamentary inquiry commission set up 2 months ago, the socialists have made a clever political move, acknowledging the scandal but now demanding its closure. So, the three-month term of the parliamentary investigation ends on January 28th.
In fact, from December 7 of last year, until two days ago, ie until January 18 of this year, ie about 1 and a half months, the investigative commission on incinerator concessions has not conducted any investigation.
State institutions have returned an evasive response, using legal space to not provide complete information with justifications such as “there is sensitive data, there are personal details”. Thus, the second tier banks didn’t provide any data regarding the amounts that have been spent.
Even the Tax Directorate has not provided information on payments. Thus, they have hidden every trace and by not giving the investigative commission the opportunity to have the data in hand to make analyzes or to come to a conclusion regarding the corrupt affair of the century.
On the other hand, it was Jorida Tabaku, the leader of this commission, who slept like Lulzim Basha or has bargained with Edi Rama. For about a month and a half she has put the commission to sleep, not doing any work.
Justifying that they were waiting for official documents or answers, most of which came without any answer, without any content, or with a formal correct answer regarding the questions addressed, the term of this commission is now coming to an end.
This happens next week and it all ends. So the socialists will close the investigation with procedure, using the legal deadline of 3 months, that usually has an investigation commission. This clearly shows an agreement of Lulzim Basha with Edi Rama, as Jorida Tabaku has wasted half of the time. On the other hand, the government and his subordinate institutions have not provided the necessary information and everything is closing with a procedure. This is what happened to Lulzim Basha, in more than one case.
This is what happened to Basha over the investigation of 1.25 million dollars, paid to the company of lobbyist Nick Muzin in the USA. The investigation was closed again with procedure. The same happened with the investigation on the abuses during the construction of the Nation Road.
A report by the Supreme State Audit Office spoke of abuses in the amount of 230 million euros. Lulzim Basha has always escaped justice through proceedings. The only hope remains with SPAK. This institution has arrested a former minister only for the Elbasan incinerator. Meanwhile, another prosecutor, Dritan Prençi, is investigating the files of incinerators in Fier and Tirana. But it remains to be seen, because Prençi is also moving at a slow pace./CNA.al
