Arben Ahmetaj and Sali Berisha

Sali Berisha has announced the mobilization of the opposition in the protests, which he says will not end without removing Edi Rama from power.

The cause raised by him is the McGonigal case, but which sounds more like a thread than a cause, as long as Edi Rama from the USA is not linked to this file, at least from what has been published so far.

However, Berisha again clings to this thread of grass, intentionally or unintentionally skipping the crossbar in Tirana. When asked why the opposition does not mention Arben Ahmetaj and his corrupt affairs, the former Prime Minister denied this.

But, even denying it, he defended it again. He blamed everyone, from SPAK to Edi Rama, for why Ahmetaj is not a defendant in any of the rumored affairs, avoiding in any case the major responsibility of the former Minister of Finance.

In addition to the open accounts he has with the incinerators, where he is involved in signing and receiving payments from Klodian Zoto, already proven in the report of journalist Adriatik Doçi, Arben Ahmetaj risks ending up with another file in SPAK.

This time it is the files related to the abuses of the reconstruction process. The testimony of the cleaner Rozeta Dobi, who said that the money came in bags to the house of Alda Klos, Ahmetaj's former chief of staff, and that the theft was staged, are a signal that this money may have a source of corruption.

But Berisha again avoided Ahmetaj and dealt with Alda Klos. Her role in the reconstruction process as the head of Ahmetaj's cabinet may have been great, but never decisive in the tendering procedures within this process.

The decisions for this were devised by Arben Ahmetaj himself. Berisha must know this for sure, but again he spared the former minister and stopped at his subordinate.

Simply put, in public, the former Prime Minister tries to fill the minds of the citizens to support him in the protest against Edi Rama, but spares the man who has been talked about more for corruption in Rama's government, but who has never been held accountable.

This attitude of Berisha demolishes all the anti-corruption and anti-government rhetoric.
