TIRANA, November 14 /ATA/ – Democratic Party Chairman Sali Berisha spoke today during an online discussion with supporters. He addressed Prime Minister Rama’s speech at the Socialist Party’s National Assembly, as well as recent developments—specifically the European Commission’s report and the decision against holding the 2027 NATO summit in Tirana, which he described as a political move to keep the event out of the Albanian capital.
“While Montenegro is expected to sign its EU accession treaty soon, Albania’s future prospects under Edi Rama appear bleak,” Berisha emphasized, referring to the European Commission’s report.
“The European Commission’s report was the most critical in the history of the dozens it has published on Albania,” he stated. “The North Atlantic Alliance has dealt a major blow to Albania’s ‘Godfather’ by deciding against holding the NATO summit in the country—a move driven directly by Edi Rama’s alarming ties to organized crime and drug cartels. This decision follows the leak of classified state secrets entrusted to Albania by the Alliance, which were subsequently passed on to drug cartels, NATO’s adversaries, and the enemies of Albania,” said Berisha.
Furthermore, he linked this decision to ‘the brutal treatment Edi Rama inflicted on protesting students. He accused the government of using inhumane methods that are condemned by international conventions and prohibited even in times of war.”
Another dark aspect, according to Berisha, is rampant theft. Citing a speech in the assembly, Berisha remarked that Rama was speaking incoherently. While Rama faces no investigation, Belinda Balluku—his closest ally for 25 years—was allegedly found to own 300 apartments, villas in Albania and Italy, and vaults overflowing with euros, alongside hundreds of millions more likely stashed in offshore accounts, Berisha added. /p.s./
