The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, was present this Monday at the proceedings of the General Assembly of the Centrist Democrat International (IDC-CDI), the largest center-right political organization in the world, where he serves as vice president.
At the end of the assembly, Berisha stated that IDC-CDI will create a working group, which will collect facts on the narco-state and the Albanian government's direct links with the cartels.
Berisha stated that his proposal was welcomed and that IDC-CDI will create a working group that will collect facts on the narco-state and the Albanian government's direct links to drug cartels and crime.
"The general assembly of the Democratic Center International, the world's largest organization of center and center-right political parties, has just concluded.
And I believe her works were extremely important. These works addressed fundamental issues of democracy, human rights, but also important issues of organization, as well as contemporary aspects of technology, artificial intelligence, and others.
In the meetings I had and in the speech I gave, I have focused entirely on what is a dramatic situation, an authoritarian dictatorship of the government, emphasizing that Albania, which was under a criminal organization, under its patron, an organization that truly accepts pluralism, but suppresses it with all kinds of illegalities.
It arrests opposition political leaders, punishes political opponents, organizes electoral farces, and has turned the elections into a real electoral farce.
But in particular, this government is a criminal organization because it is closely linked to the most dangerous drug cartels in Europe and the United States.
In my speech I dwelled extensively on the Albanian narco-state, I brought out only one aspect of this narco-state, the narco-euro. Albania today is the country of overvaluation of the euro. This currency, one of the strongest in the world, has been devalued at an incredible rate of up to 22%.
And this is thanks to the huge illegal flow of drug money. So, Albania is today the main exporter of cannabis in Europe.
Its drug cartels are the main exporters of cocaine to Europe and other destinations. They have open Albanian ports, where not a single kilogram of the drug has been seized for five years.
They administer the drug trafficking lines in Albania, decide on the laws of the country, and the prime minister is in fact their godfather. In my speech, I also had the opportunity to emphasize the protest of the new generation and citizens that took place in Tirana, which is entirely an anti-dictatorial protest.
I also stopped at the 'Albanian File'. If we weigh it against his 523 projects, it shows that he behaved like a sultan of past centuries, considering Albania his fiefdom and giving it to the most dangerous drug cartels, the most valuable areas of the country, to develop with drug money.
Recently, it has removed a large number of them from protected areas, solely in the interests of these cartels.
I can say that my appearance here in this assembly was received with a truly special interest. I requested the creation of a working group within the assembly on organized crime and drug cartels in Albania and around the world.
"And this suggestion of mine was welcomed by its president, Mr. Pastrana. So, I think this trip was valuable and useful for Albania, because the more the world knows the reality of Albania, the more it will talk about a narco-dictator and not about those white clothes of his," he said.
