TIRANA, February 18 /ATA/ Chairman of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha received today at the DP headquarters, MEP Michael Gahler, Group of the European People’s Party.
During the meeting, Berisha expressed the opposition’s concerns about two cases that are under investigation by SPAK, the one related to Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku and the other on the National Agency of Information Society.
Berisha stated that, “Prime Minister Edi Rama is making attempts for undue intervention in the legislation, with the aim of creating a shield for himself and his ministers’ corruption”.
According to him, “The suggested legal amendments by Rama harm not only the struggle of justice against corruption, but also the process of European integration of the country”.
DP chairman stressed that the opposition unconditionally supports the EU integration process, but demands that this process should be comprehensive, based on merit, and not used for propaganda purposes by the government.
Berisha and Gahler also spoke on the recent elections in Albania, and the leader of the Democratic Party expressed his satisfaction with the fact that the European Parliament sent an observation mission.
“The MEP was part of it and was able to see by himself the serious violations highlighted in the OSCE report, as well as 7 international resolutions that have openly condemned the manipulated Albanian elections,” Berisha said. /m.m/j.p/p.s./
