The chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, in a live link for the show "Top Story" was involved in a debate with the director of information at Top Channel, Robert Rakipllari.
Berisha was asked by Rakipllari if there were no corrupt ministers in his government, answering that 630 officials were convicted, while adding that ministers had no influence on tenders during his government.
The chief democrat also spoke about the accusations against him, where he said that in all these years, SPAK found 100 thousand euros in savings and a 40 square meter apartment.
Excerpts from the debate:
Rakipllari: You liberalized visas after this report
Berisha: Wait a minute! SKAP of the party that receives 30% more than the cardinals in the Vatican, these who trade. For two peak years 2022-2023, 19 people have been convicted, including serious crimes, serious crimes for corruption. Why so few? Because in the Task Force, Dumani could not close the files. That Task Force with those files convicted 630 officials of Sali Berisha's government. No matter what you throw at Albanians, Berisha will do everything to tell the truth, as far as the polls are concerned, asks a psychologist.
Rakipllari: He says that SPAK is a criminal organization.
Berisha: I never call defeat a success. If the Task Force increased to convict... you will receive the reports of the State Department. There was a law at that time that prohibited ministers from having any influence on tenders.
Rakipllari: There were no corrupt ministers?
Berisha: There was no minister dealing with tenders. The fact is this, 630 official employees have been punished.
Rakipllari: You are saying that corruption was done from low levels and not high levels.
Berisha: Here is the high level. The high level is Sali Berisha, it is this skap who for these years found 100 thousand euros in savings, a 40 square meter apartment and found the payments made by my daughter for my and her mother's health. Payments as declared loans. So there you have it.
