"The swamp is writing the alibi of not recognizing the result"/ Balla

Minister of State and Political Leader of the Socialist Party for the Diaspora, Taulant Balla, has responded to the opposition's accusations of manipulation of diaspora votes.

Through a post on social media, Balla describes these reactions as cries from representatives of the swamp, who, according to him, have begun to build an alibi for not recognizing the results of the May 11 elections.

"We have 'discovered' a major scandal, that supposedly ballots were thrown into the streets. In fact, the alibi has been prepared for days with press conferences, while today it exploded with photos of envelopes on Facebook," Balla writes.

According to Balla, the distribution process was carried out by the CEC in cooperation with the international company DHL, part of Deutsche Post. He emphasizes that the Albanian state has paid for the distribution of ballots to the homes of citizens living abroad and for their return. However, due to some difficulties, some voters were forced to personally collect the envelopes at post offices.

Minister Taulant Balla's full post:

"Representatives of the swamp today in Albania but also from Athens, have "revealed" to us a major scandal with the ballot envelopes "that they have been thrown into the streets". In fact, the drafting of the alibi of defeat has been going on for days with press conferences from the swamp, but today the cries were even louder with urgent press statements and posts on Facebook about a photo with several envelopes.

The process of distributing the ballots was entrusted by the CEC to the largest postal company in the world, part of Deutsche Post. The Albanian state has paid for the envelope to be sent to the home and picked up at the home of every voter outside Albania. And this has not happened and many citizens have been forced to go and collect the envelope with the ballot at the post office. Nearly 10% have not received it yet for many reasons. This process has 5 days (until Friday, at least from Greece and Italy, DHL still has time to do everything to bring them on time.

Only the cries from the swamp clearly have nothing to do with the process, but are part of the script for the "black" dossier of the May 11 elections. This is known!

"Sisters and brothers in the diaspora, please hurry up and do everything you can to cast your vote for European Albania and finally drain the swamp, with all its owls, frogs, snakes, and whatever else is inside," Balla wrote./CNA
