Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future The Socialist MP, Erion Brace, was fined by the court with 1 million ALL
for slander against the Democratic MP, Albana Vokshi. Brace considered
the decision as a clear political act that aims to fade the opposition’s
voice.
“This is the latest act, after a series of others, in the attempt to fade the voice of those opposition MPs who have mostly worked for protecting the public interest and for reporting the government corruption that has been consumed in these seven years. I consider yesterday’s decision related with a punishment that has been taken by the ruling party. The judge of my case is the wife of the candidate for Mayor of Berat, the city that I represent”, Brace declared.
Brace said that he will appeal this decision, because the court did not take under consideration the 1500 page long document that prove that the declaration that Brace released against Albana Vokshi are actually true.
“1500 pages of documents that the judge did not take in consideration. Vokshi complains for slander, but I have said that when the government and the Supervisory Board of the “Albpetrol Company” gave the oil resources in concession in an illegal way and Vokshi was part of the Supervision Board. These are the asset declarations of Vokshi, during the time when she says that has been paid as member of the Supervision Council of Albpetrol”, Brace declared.
