Analyst Enton Abilekaj has harshly criticized the optimism expressed about the progress of Albania's negotiations with the European Union.
Abilekaj stated that even European institutions, including the European Parliament, have concluded that the recent elections in Albania were "unequal", thus challenging the foundations of democracy in the country.
The analyst added that European Union reports emphasize that the Albanian government exerts pressure on the judiciary and prosecution, while corruption and organized crime continue to be widespread at the highest levels of government.
"The optimism, I don't know, the optimism that comes from the European Union, I think, is in contrast to what the people who live here think. Why do I think this? Because if you just watch a simple news broadcast, not only on Syri, everywhere. Yes, everywhere. On every television. We see residents protesting because their properties are being stolen. So the property issue has not only not been resolved, not only is it not on the verge of being resolved, but it has reached a point where it is no longer clear who the owner is and how it can be resolved.
We see in the news editions how pollution, the level of pollution has reached so much, to such high levels, that even our neighbors complain about our pollution. And this is an issue that cannot be resolved in a year or two. So, that we open the chapters to discuss them and that we will have an intermediate phase, all these are bureaucratic facts that come to us from Brussels, giving us an opportunity to correct ourselves until the chapters are closed. But to then say, as Marta Kos says, that Albania has made efforts and is very close to integration, I think that either you seem to be lying to yourself, or you don't understand what is happening.
Because I mentioned two balls, but I'm talking about the elections in Albania, the European Parliament has adopted a resolution that the elections in Albania were unfair. That is, an unfair competition took place in Albania and the one in power won. What does this mean? Is it possible for two teams to enter the field with an unfair competition and one to win and say that the match was fair?
So, this political right is gone too. Let's talk about the courts. The European Union, not us, said in the progress report that the government exerts pressure on the independent judiciary, on the prosecution and on the court. We did not say this. Of course we say it, but I am not taking it from what the Albanian media reports, but I am taking what the European Union and the progress report report. So, the executive branch says, exerts pressure on the judicial branch so that there is no justice in this country. And this is called a step forward in integration into the European Union. Then, corruption, the report says, is endemic and widespread at the highest levels of government. Isn't this a step forward towards the European Union?
If these are steps forward towards the European Union, money laundering is a very big problem, Albania has become a center for money laundering. Most of the economy is a criminal economy. All these reports from Brussels bureaucrats that Rama calls, that he evaluates, tell us, show us that we live in a reality that does not, does not match what we know from the European Union. If the countries of the European Union have this situation of dirty money, this situation of the level of corruption, this situation of organized crime that controls the government, this situation of unequal elections, this situation of the environment, this situation of properties, then entering the EU for us is already a formality. We have achieved it. But if it is the opposite, there is no step forward , "he told "Syri TV".
