DP MP Ivi Kaso, in his speech during the regular rostrum held in front of the Prime Minister's Office, quoting former US President Ronald Reagan that "the government is the problem, not the solution", stated that the current government has become "the biggest problem of Albanians".
Kaso added that Rama's government has turned into a gang of well-dressed crooks following the orders of the "chief crook." He stressed that if the prime minister faces justice, he will have to account for a series of affairs.
“Good evening, honorable resisters. Honorable Chairman of the Democratic Party, Professor Dr. Sali Berisha. Honorable deputies, democrat sisters and brothers. Welcome today to the third meeting of the Citizens’ Parliament, your Parliament. In January 1981, the newly elected President Reagan at his inauguration ceremony would declare: In this current crisis, the government is not the solution, the government is the problem. And if President Reagan said this epic phrase in a country where democracy and law function, it is different for our Albania. Here, governance has become the greatest problem of Albanians today. We do not have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Instead, we have a gang of well-dressed thugs who blindly follow the orders of the chief thug, who has only one goal. To steal everything that God has generously bestowed upon this country, to drive out Albanians, to mock farmers, to slaughter teachers and students on the day of their blackest.
He aims to silence every dignified voice in this country, to trample on every criticism, to turn the opposition into an appendage of the government. Today, the country's prime minister is publicly deceiving when he says that it has never happened in any country in the world that justice has suspended a minister from office. The complete opposite is true. First, in Europe, it does not happen that the deputy prime minister is a defendant and is taken under the protection of the chief prime minister. He either resigns or is dismissed. In every country in the world, the laws provide that when the state is damaged by an accomplice, like this one here in the building back here, then this is what happens. In Romania, three ministers were suspended by the court at once after they were under investigation for corruption. And this after former socialist prime minister Victor Ponta refused to dismiss them. In Italy, the former minister of agriculture was suspended from office and lost the right to hold public office.
In France, there are two ministers dismissed at different times, one of them the Minister of the Interior. Likewise in Belgium, Croatia, Spain, and not to mention the arrest of the former Prime Minister of Bosnia in the case of respirators for the COVID-19 pandemic, whom the prosecution handcuffed in his office during the investigation. This is the truth. But we must be clear that with his refusal to dismiss Balluk, Edi Rama is only protecting himself. He seeks to create a dangerous precedent that seeks to protect not only him, but every thief and oppressor of power in this country. The Venice Commission has clearly expressed its position that no one is above the law when it comes to serious criminal offenses such as corruption. But Edi Rama knows very well that with the arrest of Balluk, no matter how truncated justice is in this country, his head will be sought afterwards. And if he falls into the clutches of justice, this man who has usurped this building will have to answer for many, many other crimes. Edi Rama is the boss of all those who are today under investigation or behind bars and we must separate him once and for all. The boss either knows and is corrupt, or he doesn't know and is mentally ill and is not up to the job. In any case, he must go.
Edi Rama will have to answer for the theft with the incinerators that do not exist, for the health tenders that he gives to his oligarch friends, for the tigers of Vlora, for the money laundering that is done with his signature with the construction permits. He will also have to answer for the scandal with the Qukës road, the Qukës-Qafë Ploçë road that cost at least 260 million euros and that collapsed from the first rain. In a responsible government, such as the Democratic Party government that designed that road, those 43 km would never cost more than the 90 million euros that were predicted. Edi Rama, if he is brought to justice, will also have to answer for the robbery of public property. Isn't the theft of Gjipe's lands the most flagrant case of how a prime minister lines up all state institutions to directly plunder 224,000 m² in the most beautiful place in Albania for his own interests? The Democratic Party has been denouncing this affair for more than a year, but there is still no investigation into this today. Dear sisters and brothers, we will continue to come out on this platform for the right to speak and for the truth that must be told at all costs. Citizens, democrats or not, should not be discouraged, just as we were not discouraged for 46 weeks in a row in front of the Tirana Municipality. Thank you!” , declared Kaso!
