It is inexplicable why Greece in Athens outlawed and arrested the people of the "Golden Dawn", while we in Albania put political representatives on us.
I was against the arrest of Beler before the elections and I made public my position, why he should not be arrested before the elections, but the investigation should continue documenting the buying of votes.
The arrest caused a political storm between the two countries and above all mobilized the entire Greek political underground to send voters and intimidate swing voters in Himara enabling him to be declared the winner of the election.
I know it is a problem to protect a name like Beleri from red-handed arrest, because for ordinary Albanians he is identified with a fascist murder of two Albanian soldiers in 1994 and with a trial suspiciously closed by the Greek state in 1999, for conspiracy and armed attack on Albania.
But calm should make us refrain and appreciate more the standards that our country offers for a candidate of the Greek minority, than the standard that Greece and the Greek minority present to us as its representatives.
The first is our problem, the second is their problem.
And at this point, today that the Court has given the decision to declare him guilty, we must share the responsibilities of each one for the way we acted during this process.
In Greece, both the official and the opposition politics form a block in defense of Beleri, unifying the positions and ignoring the legal facts. And this not in the name of democracy, but in the name of Greek patriotism which is always useful fuel for electoral campaigns in Greece. They drowned out every reasonable voice that sought logic and that has a different perspective on the Greek minority in Albania.
In Albania, society was divided and was not "uniform" like in Greece. The opposition led by Sali Berisha, who declared Beler a terrorist in 1994, and decorated the alleged victims of his group's attack as martyrs of the homeland, led a pro-Beler campaign based on tradition in most cases on fabrication of facts and blackmailing justice. Since the same judge was hit, even more ideal brothers are against justice.
So, unlike Greece, political and not patriotic divisions dominated in Albania. Although I don't want to praise Berisha, for the image of a Balkan country, it is important news that there is no patriotic but political resignation for issues of ethnic sensitivity. It is more civil to hear Berisha as a "Greek renegade" than to enjoy the patriotic alignment of Greek society, where the taxi driver explains in detail how Edi Rama went and arrested Beleri at night. As he has heard it from all the press in one voice, in a chorus under an oath.
In Greece, the press, both official and independent, were in a bloc in favor of Beler and against justice in Albania. Some tried to find facts, but most made them up. The case of the "Ta Nea" newspaper yesterday was the most flagrant.
The newspaper attacked judge Irena Gjoka with completely fabricated facts.
It is right to say that Irena Gjoka has never been stopped at the Greek border, never had her fingerprints taken, never been suspended from the "Schengen" system, has never been married twice, has the last name Meniku and now has the last name her husband's Breast. During her vetting, she was never judged for this, she passed both levels without any problems and the only debates were related to a disciplinary measure against her in 1995. Her family when she was a minor had a different last name but it is not in her will.
So there is no real fact in what the newspaper writes about the judge. It is a typical case of how a newspaper of a European country, invents everything, in order to blackmail the justice of another country.
The Albanian press, at least half of it, continues to make the trial based on the lies of Irena Gjokës. No pro-Beleri Albanian journalist took the trouble to verify even one fact about Irena Gjoka. They took the article of the Greek newspaper and tried it.
On the other hand, an official news agency in Athens has dismissed Panajot Barka, who for 29 years served as their correspondent from Albania, only as he says that he was not on the same wavelength with them regarding the Beleri Case.
So to sum it up in Albania the press is divided half for and half for and against Beler, in Greece it is all uniform. And this is another advantage of the panorama of the Albanian press, even though many of them curse the pro-Beleri Albanian journalists.
Equally embarrassing is the statistic of Greece's attitude towards the Justice Reform in Albania in relation to that of the Albanian government.
The Albanian government has been massacred by the Justice Reform. Judge Irena Gjoka is the judge of the most sensitive case in Albania, that of the incinerators, and has included the entire dome of Albanian government leaders involved in this case. The Albanian government has clenched its teeth.
The Greek government did not stop for a minute the offer for a political agreement on this issue, bypassing justice, ignoring the fact that justice in Albania should be re-established as an independent justice from the Prime Minister of Albania and Greece.
And at some moments when the two political parties were trying to find a technical solution to the problem, without affecting justice, Beler's political representatives in Tirana blew them up.
Here is the opportunity to discuss an even more important issue for the different alignments of Athens and Tirana towards the Greek minority in Albania.
It is inexplicable why Greece in Athens outlawed and arrested the people of the "Golden Dawn", while we in Albania appoint political representatives. A European country either accepts the "Golden Dawn" fascists or it doesn't. And what you do not accept for yourself, you cannot offer to your neighbors.
Fredi Beleri is a representative of the "Golden Dawn" and a man of the Greek secret services who keep alive dead aspirations towards Albania. He does not belong to "Nea Demokracia" or "Pasok" or "Syrizia". It is simply the "Golden Dawn" in Albania and it turned into a monument that is protected by the Greek state, by a state that has put Fred Beller's friends in prison instead, not for stealing votes, but for winning of votes.
However, now the ordeal of the trial is over and Albania and Greece must take a breath, calm down and look ahead to offer the citizens of Himara a candidate who represents those who feel Greek, those who feel Albanian and others in the new round of elections. that the himarios feel. There is no reason to move the battle with "Golden Dawn" from Athens to Himare. Let each hold it or fight in his own place.
