While diplomatic headquarters have condemned the violence in the Assembly and called for dialogue, foreign media have pointed out the fact that Berisha's action started after SPAK's accusations...
Yesterday's event in the Parliament caused a sensation in the international media. The opposition lit incense burners in the hall, while one of them exploded during the ceremony, which exasperated the MPs alongside Berisha and Bardhi.
The flame was used as a message that they are ready to burn down the Parliament if their demands are not met. However, just as in the country, not everyone is sure that this action is related to the demands of the opposition, the same is the case with the international media. Many prestigious media have written long articles yesterday and today, but they have a common denominator. They all emphasize the fact that this action comes after the accusations that SPAK brought against Sali Berisha for corruption.
Last month, prosecutors accused Berisha and his son-in-law of corruption in connection with a land deal involving the grounds of a sports club . They accused him of using his influence as prime minister from 2005 to 2009 to pressure "the end of privatization procedures in favor of certain people, including his daughter's husband." His son-in-law was arrested, but as a deputy, Berisha has immunity. He has been ordered not to leave the country. He denies the charges. Berisha accuses Rama of orchestrating the prosecution against him. Rama himself denies the accusation ", writes "Guardian".
"Reuters" is on the same line with him. While "Abc News" is more direct. In the article, he also mentions the division of the opposition, as he emphasizes that corruption is the main problem.
The riots first began last month, two days before prosecutors charged Sali Berisha, the former prime minister and president, with corruption in connection with a scheme to privatize land at a sports ground.
Prosecutors claim that 79-year-old Berisha gave financial favors to his son-in-law, who was arrested. Berisha has said that both are innocent and claims that the case is politically motivated and that his opponent, Rama, is behind it. Bardhi said that the opposition would radicalize its protests, but did not give details. The opposition has split into at least three factions since 2021 when Berisha and members of his family were banned from entering the country by the United States, and later by the United Kingdom, due to suspected involvement in corruption. Berisha is the fourth high-ranking Albanian official to be denied entry to the US due to corruption. Post-communist Albania has begun to fight corruption, which has hindered its democratic, economic and social development ," the article emphasizes.
Today, the Court of Appeal upheld the decision on Berisha, who is being investigated under "compulsory appearance", while his son-in-law was left under "house arrest". It seems that now it will be Berisha's challenge, since on December 4 at 10:00 a.m. he must appear at SPAK, as the Appeal decision is final. If he refuses again, then SPAK must definitely take coercive measures. / Pamphlet
