"Rama came to power through crime"/ Hoxha: People from gangs became

Journalist Artan Hoxha focused extensively today on the governments led by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who was re-elected in September.

Invited to the show 'A Show' with journalist Adi Krasta, Hoxha mentioned Rama's rise to power, openly accusing him of being involved in crime.

The journalist added that people from the world of crime and drugs learned from Rama's governments to enter politics, benefiting from millions of lek and tenders.

"Following this whole narrative that you did, that I have done several times and I have explained why Rama is where he is today. I had the opportunity and the fortune to see him when he was in opposition, sitting in these circles with those who grew up behind and I started to find them, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, in these strange places and I have seen them there, I have seen them around him.

So, he came with them, making an agreement that we didn't understand at the time. But we also forgot the other thing, that this man has been the head of the Tirana municipality for a very long time, which is a very important pole of power in this country, because the recognition is ancient and not today. He used this alliance to come to power and after coming to power, he did what he did.

The first actions he took in 2013, when the 'End of Madness' operation was carried out, which was actually the last madness. The gambling business was taken under control. Then came the second operation, the famous one in Lazarat in 2014, it was held under siege, we saw the battle, we saw the arsenal of those inside and the arsenal of the state. We saw what happened. An exit was created and the heads of the business fled. We were referred to that this was dismantled. From there it was seen that he was aiming to take control of what others had.

We remember what happened in 2015-2016, the cannabization of the country. No one spoke, not even from the diplomatic corps because I was in 5 embassies that year where I explained with a board how it was done. Since then I have been saying that it was up to the prime minister, that a minister cannot do it. And from the beginning we saw how Rama's scheme of criminalizing the country was working.

2017 came, we sacrificed the Minister of the Interior by charging him for cannabis and moved on to cocaine by opening up on the continent and other continents. How was 2021 won? It was won because the largest criminal organizations of this country have been involved in the parliamentary elections and are there. 2021 was about cocaine. With 1 ton of cocaine you win not only one election, but more. And then we saw how the concessions were divided, the status of strategic investors and today we are in a situation where we cannot distinguish where politics ends, where business begins and where the criminal world is involved.

I remember a joke from one of these underworld figures: "We were stupid, we thought we could get rich just by selling drugs. The one who came to power taught us to be businessmen. Get tenders, you made your first million there, come here and work here," Hoxha said. /CNA
