Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha has reacted to the OSCE/ODIHR final report on the May 11 elections, while emphasizing that Edi Rama failed in his efforts to change this report.
Berisha said during a media conference that Edi Rama has chosen silence and deception to cover up his complete and total failure to change the fatal report on the May 11 parliamentary elections by international observers.
"As I had warned, as I had presented official documents that documented the brutal interventions of the Albanian government to monitoring institutions and directly to international observers to change the terms used in their report on the May 11 elections, efforts have been made, which I am pleased to tell Albanians had zero effect.
It is to the greatest credit of the institutions that observed the elections that they stood by word for word all the findings that prove a true electoral farce on May 11th.
The final report fully supports the theses of the preliminary report that the May 11 elections violated the fundamental international principles of elections, embodied in the Copenhagen Charter, the Council of Europe's platform for elections, the Venice Code, and the most serious international documents on elections.
They prove that the electoral code in its articles for determining the rules of electoral campaigns was broken 4500 times with prohibited events during the electoral campaign. 4500 events, which if you count, constitute a sum of tens and hundreds of millions of euros, these events were used only to influence the vote of Albanian citizens until the last day 7 million euros for the private organization of the Giro D'Italia", said Berisha.
The democratic leader then stated that under the conditions of the party-state, there can never be any elections other than a farce.
"Edi Rama shamelessly asked him the question, thinking it would scare him, where do you have the facts for what you wrote?"
But in the report that I hope is not fake, is real, that has been posted on the internet, it turns out that not a single comma has been removed.
It is proven that in contradiction with international principles, Edi Rama has transformed administration employees into hated patrons of Albanians for the vote.
It is proven that voting bonuses were used, a 100 euro voting gift for pensioners.
It is reported that the 200 million per vote fine waiver was used.
It is reported that 138 licenses have been granted for 28 thousand hectares of land planted with cannabis.
So, it is proven that 500 million euros were awarded in procurements contrary to the law to buy votes.
The use of temporary employment to buy votes has been documented in thousands of cases.
Terror is being used against administration employees to vote.
All ways to control the will of citizens to vote are being explored.
In the report, read a phrase, if they hadn't done this, the elections would have been closer to free elections.
So, they are in Siberia compared to the distance now.
They are not looking anywhere.
These are farcical elections.
Drug cartels and gangs are involved in a series of cities to steal votes.
The illegal stance in relation to the complaints is proven.
The commitment of all administrative resources, just like in a party-state, has blurred the lines separating the party from the state, the report says.
This moment alone is enough for all those with minimal electoral culture to understand that the elections were a farce.
Under the conditions of the party state, there can never be any elections other than a farce.
There never is.
"It is a fact that Albania is an authoritarian dictatorship that controls the vote of Albanians," Berisha said.
