TIRANA, July 24/ATA/ Chairman of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha stated today in a press conference that, “The degradation of the elections into an electoral farce on May 11 was one of the ugliest, most criminal, most unconstitutional acts”.
According to him, Prime Minister Edi Rama used all the executive power to influence in all ways the electoral process and change it into a farce.
Berisha stated that Edi Rama bought votes with 450 building permits for drug trafficking gangs during the period when these permits were prohibited by law.
“From April 2024 to May 2025, there were granted over 1 thousand construction permits. 450 of them were issued during the election period. This does not include thousands and thousands of permits granted for building additional floors, reconstructions, etc., throughout Albania by municipalities across the country”, Berisha stated.
Berisha mentioned several cases where, according to him, such permits were granted.
“The Democratic Party will undertake all battles so that Albanians can vote freely”, said Berisha. /gj.m/j.p/p.s./
