The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha , has made strong accusations in Parliament against the chairman of the Socialist Party parliamentary group, Taulant Balla , whom he referred to as "criminal Tao", claiming that he possesses leaked communications that, according to him, implicate him in serious criminal affairs.
During his speech, Berisha stated that he was recalling, according to him, Taulant Balla's role in suspected relationships with underworld figures, citing a communication dated February 10, 2020.
"Let me remind you who the previous speaker, Taulant Balla, is. On 10.02.2020, his counterpart informed that they had agreed not to ask the criminal Tao for any public tenders or other favors, except those previously agreed upon," Berisha declared from the Parliament podium.
According to him, the message conveyed gave him a deadline until December, while he claimed that Balla's response was that he would guarantee votes if certain names were included on the lists, despite being in prison.
"The criminal Tao asked if it was guaranteed that the votes would be taken if the people mentioned were placed on the lists. The answer was: yes, we guarantee this," Berisha said.
Further, the DP leader claimed that Taulant Balla is also involved in other serious affairs, citing suspected connections with a citizen identified as Erjona Daupaj.
According to Berisha, these communications also talk about sequestration and favoritism, as well as direct intervention by the Front on various issues.
" These days you ask me: will it still be Balla or will it be you, Vladi? Ok, I'm talking to Balla ," Berisha quoted from the materials he called important.
