But, in a dictatorship, the only option is not to surrender, but to fight to overthrow it.

According to Eurostat, from 2014 to 2023, 1,099,000 Albanians have emigrated to the Schengen area. As a result, according to the UN, Albania today has the lowest birth rate in the world. In addition, the country is one of the main exporters of crime in Europe.

Sali Berisha: Mr. President Weber, ladies and gentlemen, first of all I would like to thank you, Mr. President, and the presidents of the EPP for the support you have given to the Democratic Party of Albania with a very valuable resolution in support of its just causes.

But I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the president of the IDU, Stefan Harper, and the president of the CDI, Andres Pastrana, for the same support they have shown to the Democratic Party and its causes.

I would also like to thank my friends from the CDU, Elmar Brok, Peter Beyer, Doris Pack, my friends from Forza Italia in Italy, Battilocchio, Erika Mazzetti, etc., who have been by our side in some difficult days.

Ladies and gentlemen, Albania today is the first and only narco-state in Europe, where all the powers are in the hands of a single person. As international observers have noted, through a mafia-like vote-buying industry and a massive intimidation machine, he has completely controlled the will of the citizens and turned the elections into a facade.

The prime minister, who appears at international summits in white sneakers and commits looting, behaves like a real dictator in the country. He controls the entire economy. He controls the entire media. In the end, he blocked TikTok, making the country look like Kabul and Tehran.

Like Zayed of Tunisia, in an election year, he chose to arrest three leaders of the main opposition parties, just because they were political opponents – and without any, any, any criminal evidence.

He took away the mandate from the leaders of the opposition.

He took away the mandate from the mayors of the opposition municipalities, as in the case of Fredi Beleri, who is today an MEP, because the only reason was that Beleri refused to give him land that does not belong to the Rama family.

Ladies and gentlemen, in addition, the tyrannical dictator, the narco-dictator, has bribed the FBI’s counterintelligence chief, Charles McGonigal, to work against the Albanian opposition.

He gave him $225,000, but I assure you that he was not the only one who was bribed against the opposition.

Documents, thousands of documents from partner countries, prove today that the state and crime are a joint venture in my country.

In the prime minister’s office, there is an advisor tasked with coordinating the work of criminal organizations – from the Sinaloa cartels in Mexico, now run by Albanian brothers, to gangs within the country.

According to Eurostat, from 2014 to 2023, 1,099,000 Albanians have emigrated to the Schengen area.

As a result, according to the UN, Albania today has the lowest birth rate in the world.

In addition, the country is one of the main exporters of crime in Europe.

On May 11, general parliamentary elections will be held. In these elections, in addition to all that I mentioned above, he has blocked television debates, distributed 100 euros as a gift for votes to 800,000 pensioners, and given 100 licenses for cannabis cultivation under the motto “Cannabis for Votes”.

He has turned his narco-state into an electoral machine.
