Help my nation vote freely. This is how Democratic leader Sali Berisha addressed the members of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, which is currently holding its work in Porto, Portugal.
Berisha stressed the need for Albania to return to the institution of free elections, despite the electoral farce, as in the dictatorship. He informed the participants about the May 11 elections and the violations of the electoral machinery of Edi Rama's party-state that produced the electoral farce, which is also highlighted in the OSCE-ODIHR report.
He said that without a technical government, Albanians will not be able to hold free and fair elections.
"Therefore, today, on behalf of the Albanian opposition, I request from this honorable institution:
First, support the preliminary ODIHR report (Everything I mentioned is written in the preliminary ODIHR report).
"Secondly, I call on international institutions to follow the recommendations written in the latest OSCE-ODIHR reports, which have remained unimplemented for years due to the lack of will of the narco-government," said Berisha.
The democratic leader stated that Albania is the first and only narco-state in Europe.
"Europe has known many types of dictatorships, but never before a narco-dictatorship."
This is a dictatorship of a different nature. Even in this dictatorship, all powers are concentrated in the hands of just one person, the Prime Minister.
But as Samuel Huntington wrote about these types of dictatorships, narco-dictatorships are characterized by the fact that no law, no rule, and no principle is respected.
Edi Rama has turned Albania into a narco-dictatorship. For anyone interested: he has done this openly and without hiding anything. In this context, the Prime Minister of Albania, a few weeks before the elections, by decree approved the planting of 29 thousand hectares of cannabis, mainly near the borders with neighboring countries.
Meanwhile, in Latin America, there are 14,000 Albanians working in drug cartels, and some of them run these cartels, such as the Sinaloa drug cartel.
Drug cartels in Albania are directly linked to the government and are very powerful: the Troplini/Poja cartel controls the port of Durrës, the largest port in the country and the region. The Çela cartel of Elbasan controls the heroin trafficking highway coming from the East. These cartels are very powerful, appointing ministers, judges, prosecutors, police chiefs, MPs, etc.
This was the situation with which we entered the May 11 elections.
In these elections, it is true that there were candidates from different political forces. But on the other hand, all the potentials and resources of the state were used as an electoral instrument by the party-state. On the other hand, just like in communist dictatorships, all the financial possibilities, extraordinary resources, were used for electoral benefits.
The entire public administration, in violation of the law, has been transformed into a network of patronage agents, each of whose employees must control a certain number of voters through the misuse of personal data. Each civil servant was obliged to bring 20 other voters to vote for the ruling Socialist Party.
"Election day was even worse. The drug cartels dictated the outcome for 28 deputies, some of these deputies were the most voted. They even received more votes than the Chairman of the Socialist Party himself (Prime Minister Edi Rama)," Berisha said.
