Has Berisha sold out his "favorite" oligarch Bashkim Ulaj?

For six weeks, residents of Baks-Rrjoll in Velipojë have been protesting against a tourist resort that will be built by businessman Bashkim Ulaj.

They say Ulaj is building on their land, which he has taken from them.

The protests have often been violent and there have also been clashes with the Police, who have acted as Ulaj's personal "bodyguard".

But while the socialists do not talk about this fierce conflict, the opposition's silence has also been strange.

And this, until yesterday, was explained by the fact that Ulaj is one of Sali Berisha's favorite businessmen, who received many tenders when the latter was prime minister.

For this, he also gave Berisha an office, in the tower he built opposite RTSH.

It's just that recently, things seem to have changed somewhat.

In the media close to Berisha's family, news about the protest of the residents of Rrjoll against Ulaj has begun to be given daily.

The focus, understandably, is on police violence against them.

But from total silence to daily "reporting" of the protests against Ulaj is a huge leap.

At the moment it is not known whether Berisha has sold Ulaj or not, who has meanwhile become the "preferred" businessman of the socialists and especially Balluk, who has made a "gift" to Rama, giving him tenders with frightening figures. ( Vox News )
