In a reaction to the Democratic Party MP Jorida Tabaku, Rama said that, “Figures and facts deserve consensus, then interpretations are another matter. I took the floor because I heard a figure from what you produce, 385 million Euros arbitration bill. Where is this bill? If you were to show us the factual bill, then let’s discuss it. But, you cannot tell the parliament and the public that there is a 385 million euro bill that the government is paying for arbitration.”

“I say, zero, not a penny has been paid to either Beccheti or anyone else, so far, as we speak. Zero. And not just zero, but in the meantime the confrontation continues, to be clear. It continues in every space where there is a possibility of a legal confrontation “, said Rama./p.s./

“How is consumption falling, when today small savings in banks are higher than ever?” I’m talking about ordinary people savings. Opposition also said that the investment in Llogara Tunnel is an economic loss. On what basis do you say that? You have shown that, you have had a much more distorted relationship with road construction costs than arithmetic.”

“There is a big difference between the contract price and the completion of the works under contracts you have made, which hit record high, exceeding more than twice the limit fund. La voce padrone has escaped the rostrum and the new law to avoid the horrific abuses, made in the past ostensibly at the lowest price, has determined that the price constitutes only 50% and the rest are the necessary guarantees,” the premier Rama said in his remarks at the today’s plenary session.

Regarding the request of the opposition for the establishment of an investigative commission to fully uncover the illegal actions of the executive body related to Becchetti case, the Prime Minister Rama said that, “there is no public recognition of this decision by the relevant court, in fact this is considered a criminal offense, because according to the court, the disclosure of confidential data aims to create panic and harm the interests of the country through a procedure still in process.”

According to the Prime Minister Rama, the Albanian state cannot start a process, when the case is under investigation in the international court.

“The government has not made any payment. Beyond the rhetoric, I’m telling you that, this has been a criminal process in the Tirana prosecutor’s office for some time, where many witnesses are expected to testify. This person that you have turned into your hero, is a wanted person,” he said.

“You are defending a wanted man. You protect this man for political reasons and you forget that all these obligations imposed by others are obligations of the Republic of Albania. You are also citizens, voters and losers of elections in the Republic of Albania. These cannot be separated from each other, despite the fact that you want to make a new Republic. There are two decisions in favor of the Albanian state. Before the international bodies of all jurisdictions, the Republic of Albania is a jurisdiction. You want to put your plight in a story involving a wanted person in the Albanian justice,” the premier Rama said.

The Prime Minister Rama stressed that, “you spread misinformation by disclosing a confidential document, inventing that the Albanian state has started to make payments. This is completely untrue. You want a Commission that violates the principles and harms the interests of Albania. I am reminding you that the confidentiality of these processes is binding in Albania.” //a.i/
