“Rama’s narco-government,” Balliu calls on citizens to join a massive protest on February 20

During his speech at the Democratic Party’s next “Foltorja” in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, the Deputy Chair of the National Security Commission, Klevis Balliu, stated that the current government has created a “narco-state” that has devastated the country’s economy through the laundering of drug money in the construction sector.

He accused Albania’s national security of being under the control of figures linked to organized crime, specifically mentioning Ergys Agasi, who he claimed acted under the instructions of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

Balliu also denounced the new scheme referred to as “electronic government,” which he said aims to eliminate competitions and tenders by enabling the direct awarding of contracts. He emphasized the alleged involvement of criminal cartels behind these maneuvers, mentioning names such as Suel Çela and the Çopja family.

In conclusion, Balliu called for a massive protest on February 20, describing it as a “confrontation with the narco-regime,” and invited citizens to unite to express their dissatisfaction with the current governance.

Excerpt from the statement:

I have just returned from a meeting with various colleagues, MPs, high-level representatives, senior officials, and members of the international community, and I had to explain to them how it is possible that a country blessed by God is today living in extreme poverty and in a total lack of security. And when I told them how the coordinator of organized crime, Ergys Agasi, with the blessing and under the instructions of Edi Rama, was controlling Albania’s national security, their eyes and ears could hardly believe what they were hearing.

But thank God, today more than ever, the opposition’s accusations have been confirmed in both the national and international arena through the media, and there is no Albanian or foreigner who does not know that Albania has a narco-government that has devastated the country’s economy by laundering drug money in the construction sector.

And today, instead of seeing a shift from the government, they come out with another scheme to protect the AKSHI affair, with what they call “electronic government.” A government whose mission is to ensure that in Albania there are no more competitions, no more tenders, but that decisions are made directly, as they do with Kajo LLC, effectively turning AKSHI into a private company as well, appointed by Council of Ministers decisions from Edi Rama and four or five of his associates. Associates behind whom, of course, hide the cartels we exposed in AKSHI, such as the Suel Çela cartel, the Çopja clan, and all the bandits who accompany them.

And this government has the face to come out and tell us that the Democratic Party is the party of violence.

Now I must say a few words about the historical aspect. The Socialist Party is a party that was born to kill in ’44 by Popović and, in fact, killed Albanians for 50 years. It was then overthrown by the citizens, overthrown by the Democratic Party to bring democracy and build democracy in Albania.

And what did the bloodstained figures do? They returned to power with the revolution of the killers, led by Zan Çausha and others—criminals. Again, they took power through violence.

And what else did they do? In ’98, like no other party anywhere in the world, they carried out an assassination attempt against an opposition MP, Azem Hajdari, right inside the parliament chamber. And when they failed to eliminate him there, it was these same criminals, wearing the uniforms of the Socialist Party police, who eliminated and killed the leader of democracy right at the headquarters of the Democratic Party.

And it is these same bandits and this same party that returned to power in 2013 through an alliance of filth, an alliance of cartels—Hajra, Bajra, Avdylaj, Suel Çela and the Çopja clan, the Troplinis—all the cartels that today are the fundamental reason for the lack of security and the destruction of Albania’s economy. And they tell us that we are the party of violence.

We are not the party of violence; we are the party of mission. Our mission is one and only: strengthening democracy, integrating Albania into Europe, and without question, we are ready to do everything to defend democracy and Albania.

And whoever does not believe it should open their eyes on February 20, more than ever, in confrontation with the narco-regime.

Long live Albania, long live the Albanians!
