The debate over Sali Berisha's "persona non grata" status has also moved to the Assembly hall. The head of the Socialist Party parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, ironized the reactions of Democratic MPs after the announcement made by the Democratic Party.
During his speech, Balla expressed skepticism about claims that Berisha's "non grata" status has been lifted, emphasizing that such a decision must be officially confirmed by the US Department of State or the US Embassy.
He also mocked the opposition's attempts to link this development to the citizens' protest, suggesting that it is being attempted to present it as a political victory for the protesters.
"Are we being told here today that the protest has achieved its first success and that the 'non grata' has been removed? You have even changed the slogan. Now they will no longer shout 'Berisha in prison', but 'Berisha in Washington' ," declared Balla.
The head of the socialist group recalled that the "non grata" status is established on the basis of section 7031(c) of US law and that it is not a process that is easily lifted.
He emphasized that he does not comment on information based on telephone conversations, requesting that any development be handled on an institutional and official basis.
Balla also accused the Democrats of trying to appropriate the civic protest for political purposes, emphasizing that it does not belong to any political force.
"The non grata status has been established on the basis of section 7031(c). In my opinion, it is a little difficult to remove. I will only comment on it when there is an official announcement from the State Department or the American embassy. I do not comment on phone conversations, because it is not correct and it is not institutional. It is in vain that you bother to steal the protest. No, take Sali Lusha there, no, all of you go to the protest, it does not become your property," Balla said, among other things.
