"28 MPs in Parliament supported by drug cartels"/ Berisha at the CoE

The Chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, is in Strasbourg where he is participating in the meeting of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.

During his speech, Berisha said that the fundamental question that needs to be asked is whether there are elections or a farce. Berisha stated that he strongly condemns Russian interference in the elections of other countries.

The leader of the Democrat Party said that 28 deputies entered the Albanian Parliament with the support of drug cartels, to whom the government granted construction permits.

Berisha said that the introduction of these deputies into Parliament was done with the intention of blocking the prosecution's investigations.

"I think that the issue of elections in a crisis, but also outside of a crisis, has as its most fundamental question this: do we have elections or an electoral farce. Elections serve the rule of law; electoral farce has the opposite effect."

I strongly condemn Russian interference in the elections of other countries, but I am also here to denounce two other major factors that could ruin the elections. One of them is the party-state or party-state, as was said here by observers, that in Albania the elections took place in a party-state climate.

The second major problem is the narco-state. A narco-state is a situation in which drugs and crime are turned into votes, and votes are then turned into crimes. 28 deputies have entered parliament supported by the most powerful drug cartels. After that, they were given 450 permits for hotels, motels, construction and tourist resorts. Then, their mandates were used to completely block the Prosecutor's Office.

The prosecution requested the arrest and lifting of the immunity of the Deputy Prime Minister. Edi Rama; The Prime Minister, called Ramaduro the Great, blocked the initiative of the prosecution and is not allowing it. Why? Because in every three lines of this file his name is found. The same thing is happening with AKSHI, the National Technology Agency. All data is being exported to criminal gangs and bandits , "said Berisha.
