Berisha stated that government-linked drug cartels dominate the drug markets in Europe and that Albania has become a major center for money laundering through construction industry and tourist resorts.

“I expressed the request that the member states of the Council of Europe, the parliaments of these countries raise their voices against this serious threat that comes from a small country that has all the great potential for development, but has been plunged into drugs by the regime, only for electoral purposes”, said Berisha.

Berisha also spoke about “conversion therapy”, describing it as an inhuman practice and aggression against children. According to the Chairman of the DP, this approach aims to establish a dangerous dictatorship of the extreme left in Albania and beyond.

“This is the propaganda of the extreme left that aims to restore a dangerous dictatorship of the extreme left-wing, not only in Albania, but also in Europe and the world,” Berisha said.

He stressed that although it was a contentious issue, there were great reservations in public towards the report, which according to him attempted to legitimize “conversion therapy” against children. /m.q/j.p/p.s./
