The American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, will visit Tirana on February 15, while this meeting seems to have 'frightened' Albanian politics.
The Chairman of the Freedom Party, Ilir Meta, commented on Secretary Blinken's visit as he behaved with indifference, removing himself as if he was not surprised, as according to him, it is something completely normal.
According to him, the visits of a state secretary to our country have become normal, referring here to the very friendly relations between Albania and the USA.
"I think that the arrival of the Foreign Secretary is now something normal in the relations between our two countries, given the frequent visits since the time of Becker and up to Kerry's visit, not to mention other State Secretaries who have visited Tirana and who have used it for other initiatives", said Meta in a press conference.
Ilir Meta's full statement:
Rampant and schizophrenic corruption is the only major goal of the "Renaissance".
Corruption is part of the deliberate anti-national depopulation agenda of the Government that promised 300,000 new jobs but forced over 700,000 Albanians to flee the poorest country in the region, but with the most expensive cost of living.
Corruption is the reason why 67% of the population survives today in poverty, with ridiculous salaries and pensions, which cannot afford taxes and the stratospheric prices of food and medicine.
Corruption is the reason for the bankruptcy of agriculture, the extermination of livestock, the degradation of education and the deepening of ignorance.
Where there is corruption, there is no transparency or accountability! They run parallel!
This is the reason why Albania, champion in the region and on the continent for government theft and bribery, has recently been ranked at the top of the list for the lack of transparency and publication of official documents.
Therefore, there is no surprise from the expected negative results of the Regional Openness Index for transparency and publication of official documents, which ranks Albania with 24.8 points, far from North Macedonia with 27.4 points, Kosovo with 34.2 points, Montenegro with 36.5 points and Serbia with 50.2 points.
Nor are we surprised by the fact that among the ministries that refuse transparency, the champion would be the Ministry of Health, which turns out to have not made any decision public.
It is widely accepted that free healthcare has been and remains one of the biggest and treacherous frauds of the "Renaissance", where 10 years in power the only record achieved is that Albanians pay 60% out of pocket for healthcare more than all in Europe.
This great gap between the Government and transparency gives even more impetus to the determination of the Freedom Party in the fight against corruption and the return of the screaming need for transparency and accountability, as the main pillars of democracy.
On this occasion, I congratulate the deputies of the Freedom Party who have prepared three concrete legal initiatives to guarantee transparency and accountability.
Assessing the right to information as an inalienable constitutional right of Albanian citizens and as a key element in the fight against crime, corruption and impunity, as well as assessing it as a national priority and with the full conviction that a coordinated fight is needed to them, our deputies have specifically proposed three amendments:
In the law "On the right to information";
In the regulation of the Assembly;
In the status of deputy.
(We will make all three amendments available to all journalists).
In the practice of communication with central, local and independent institutions, blockages in receiving information, required by law, have been continuously verified.
These blockages have violated every law and every legal deadline, making it impossible to exercise the controlling activity of the Assembly of the Republic of Albania, through the deputies.
In particular, information on matters of high sensitivity to the public interest and their serious social and financial implications have been blocked.
This deliberate blocking of information has deepened the abuse of power and corruption, producing very serious consequences for the interest of citizens and public finances.
This deliberate blockage has been evidenced through repeated requests, which have not received an answer, thus shaping an arrogant and unacceptable attitude of central and local institutions, such as the scandalous case of the Municipality of Tirana, which has long refused transparency and accountability.
Even after the notification of the persons charged by the law to apply penalties and sanctions to the violators of this law, it turned out that none of the parties acted.
This scandalous situation necessarily requires legal changes, which foresee clear and strong responsibilities, so that the practice of blocking transparency and accountability ends once and for all.
I also want to congratulate our local councilors, especially those in the Municipality of Tirana, who are fighting a dignified battle in defense of the public interest, transparency and accountability.
On this occasion, I want to refute the false claims of the Mayor, Erion Veliaj, according to which the Freedom Party has voted against the decisions to provide economic aid and rent bonus for the needy classes, while it is quite the opposite.
Partia e Lirisë jo vetëm që i ka miratuar të gjitha vendimet që lidhen me dhënien e ndihmës ekonomike dhe bonusin e qerave në Tiranë, por dhe ka propozuar nisma konkrete për shtimin e fondeve të ndihmës ekonomike dhe numrit të përfituesve, në mënyrë që të mos shohim më pamje tronditëse kur përfaqësues të shtresave më në nevojë pretestojnë për bukën e gojës para Bashkisë, duke humbur edhe ndjenjat poshtë zyrës së Erion Veliaj, i cili bën sikur nuk i sheh.
Rikujtoj gjithashtu që Partia e Lirisë propozoi 11 amendamente për heqjen dhe uljen e një sërë taksash dhe tarifash vendore në Bashkinë e Tiranës, nga të cilat qytetarët dhe bizneset do të përfitonin 50 milion euro në vit, por që arbirtrarisht ato u rrëzuan pasi interesi i Erion Veliaj nuk është tek interesi qytetar por tek vjedhja nëpërmjet inceneratorit fantazmë të Tiranës, ku është edhe pronari faktik i saj, sipas vetë ish-Zv/Kryeministrit.
Konkretisht propozimet e Partisë së Lirisë, që u refuzuan nga Veliaj ishin:

Of course, Erion Veliaj rejected these proposals since his only interest is the continuation of the affair of the non-existent incinerator of Tirana, for which, as the Freedom Party also proved, he continues and increases the payments affecting even the budget for education, i.e. the funds for construction of nurseries, kindergartens and schools.
