Russia has long been involved in attacks on democracy in many countries through the financing of political parties and other actors.
The DP may also be implicated in this matter, during the period in which Basha was at the head of the party.
The Deputy of the Democratic Party Edi Paloka during an interview for Ora News talked about this issue where he showed and what Basha had told him when he asked him before.
Edi Paloka: I am familiar with Balla's statements, then I saw the media that had raised this file. As the vice president, I talked to Basha and his words were that it is just a slander. Everything you said to me was what you stated publicly. What we were given at first were Balla's statements and a magazine known to be under the influence of Soros. Today it's about smart services, it looks serious. And in this case no accusation can be made without evidence. Everything should be investigated. American faith in justice cannot be questioned, nor can it be put in parallel with Albanian justice.
Sakaq Paloka says that Basha has been blackmailed with this affair.
Edi Paloka: Today it is documented that Basha was blackmailed not only by Rama but also by the American ambassador from this affair. And why was it a relationship entirely of Basha's and the responsibility is his, if it is true it would be heavy for PD as well. The ultimatum was to expel Berisha. It seems that the consequences were personal for Basha. And we have said that something strong forced Basha to change his decision so quickly. We did not know that this is an issue with which Basha is taken hostage. It was understood that Basha was being held hostage with something, but we had not confirmed it. Today it has been confirmed that the case in which Basha is being held hostage is the "MUZIN" case.
