Berisha's $6 million lobbying in the US, Kulluri: I don't believe the

The DP's $6 million lobbying contract with the American company "Continental", for Edvin Kullurin, is also a product of the consequences when the party ends up in the hands of a man like Flamur Noka.

Kulluri, founder of "Right 1912" and candidate in the Vlora district for the "Right for Development" coalition in the May 11 parliamentary elections, said from the Report TV studio that he does not believe the tales of Albanian patriots paying $6 million to lobby the Democratic Party.

"Excessive power produces corruption. I do not believe the tales of Albanian patriots and citizens, if there were patriots they would give us 6 million dollars. The issue is clear, Albania has high informality and lack of legality and institutions. The figure is very high. I also remember my friend Zekthi's joke regarding the lobbying contract in the debate with Belind Këlliçi. He told him that: "for the earthquake, the Albanians of America collected 700 thousand dollars, while for the DP and Berisha, 6 million dollars were collected!", said Kulluri.

Regarding post-election coalitions if they were to win parliamentary mandates on May 11, he explained that they would only join forces for governance with right-wing parties, even with the DP, but with the only condition that Sali Berisha would not be prime minister or in leadership.

"We unite our votes only with the right, including the DP, but with the latter only on one condition: Sali Berisha not at its head and not as prime minister. Neither he nor Rama in the government. We have made it clear and we have this mission," said Kulluri. 

Regarding the problems of the electoral campaign or whether there are threats and pressures to buy votes against citizens, he said that in Vlora, where he is running, this problem did not exist.

Kulluri welcomed SPAK's involvement with the Election Monitoring Task Force, as, like the decriminalization law, it was necessary.

"In Vlora, there are no threats to the vote, its orientation, because in Vlora you do not have the opportunity to give the answer very quickly. So far there have been no problems. Elbasan has shown problems with criminality in the elections. Lulzim Basha has only one merit, the decriminalization law, and that is true. And SPAK's entry into the elections with control over vote buying is positive, SPAK has cut Rama's ties with crime for the elections. There are 65 thousand SP militants who have currently been added to the administration just for the elections and they receive the same salary for four years. If pensions are given to them, this money will increase by at least 70 thousand lekë", underlined the candidate of 'Right for Development'.

Kulluri continued by saying that "our objective in Vlora is 1 mandate. Our other objective is 1 mandate in Fier, Elbasan and up to 2 mandates in Tirana."

"We have a clear and certain objective of at least 3 mandates and up to 6 or 7 in total nationwide. The vote for the Right for Development and the support is large and visible. There will be high participation. There is no need for large expenses in the campaign. If the opposition inspires, there is no criminal group that can stop the opposition people. I remember the year 2005 when the SP had strong criminal groups and the DP won. The SP and Rama have made a mess of it," he told Report TV.
