Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha has accused Edi Rama of placing a person at the head of the State Intelligence Service who blindly follows the orders of the head of government.
According to Berisha, Olian Kanushi, the new deputy director of SHISH, has established two criteria, that the employees of this institution do not communicate with foreign services and that they do not report any information about the government officials.
During a meeting with young people, Berisha said that in order to achieve this, Rama sent the head of SHISH, Helidon Bendon, for specialization in the USA, paving the way for the new leader.
"Edi Rama, with full will and greed, took the Presidency of the country, which he should not have because the votes are not real, they were stolen. He took every institution and in fact today this person, thanks to the destruction of the basic constitutional principles, which force the separation of powers, controls about 98% of the powers in Albania. For your curiosity, there was a man of his own at SHISH, but an old service employee, since 1995. It had worked all the time.
In the end, he arrives and proposes to the service director. Given that, no matter how much he followed his orders, SHISH wants you to follow the law. Again the Service requires you to comply with the law. What happened to Helidon, who had kept him as an advisor for intelligence services in the Prime Minister?
He took it and took it against the law, for specialization in the USA as the sultan did who took them from one province to another. He has led there, a man who blindly follows his every command. This man who has not been a single day, has been his close advisor. He goes there and has set two criteria, not to communicate with foreign services, ie SHISH employees. They will communicate intensively with the partner services as they are for national security.
The second order, do not inform about the governors when they come out. This is real, which is why Sandrin (Sandër Kovaçi, head of the teachers' union) has a big problem. Because they found 130 commissioners were involved in planting drugs. He reported that he was protecting national security. This is an example of how he has taken all the powers", said Berisha.
