The head of the Democratic Party parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, has announced a report to SPAK against Prime Minister Edi Rama after the latter allocated 4.2 million euros from the state budget reserve fund for today's Kanye West concert in our country.

In a post on social media, Bardhi calls the decision a flagrant violation of the law and abuse of public funds. He points out that when he was in opposition, Rama denounced the organization of celebrations for the 100th anniversary of Independence at a cost of 1 million euros, while today, according to him, he has approved a fund four times larger for a private concert.

"When Edi Rama was in opposition, he denounced three public events, organized for the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Independence, worth 1 million euros, describing them as an abuse of the law and an opportunity for corruption. The same Edi Rama, 14 years later, approves a fund of 4.2 million euros for a private concert, without any procedure, in flagrant violation of the law, with funds that should only be used in cases of natural disasters or extraordinary measures.

By the standard he himself has set, Edi Rama must be held criminally accountable for the abuse of 4.2 million euros of Albanian taxpayers.

"Therefore, on Monday, the Democratic Party Parliamentary Group will file a criminal complaint with the Special Prosecution Office (SPAK) against Edi Rama and Blendi Gonxhja, who must be held accountable before the law and the citizens for the flagrant abuse of Albanians' money ," writes Bardhi.
