Parliament, Interpellation with PM Berisha

Berisha declared that the government has focused its efforts on the war against corruption.

“Corruption is the mother of all problems in a free society. The government has always focused on corruption, and for this we can refer to the facts and the international reports for corruption”, Berisha declared.

On his speech, the Prime Minister reminded that when the Socialist Party was in power, no one was punished for corruption.

“Fighting corruption needs reforms. After the creation of the Anti-Corruption Task Force, we implemented an ambitious program”, the Prime Minister declared. The head of the Albanian government underlined that all direct public procurements have been banned, and the law for the conflict of interest was amended too.

Balla: Corruption, the worst disease of this government

The Interpellation with Prime Minister Berisha was asked by the Socialist MP, Taulant Balla, who emphasized that corruption remains the worst disease of this government.

“Today, four years after the Gerdec tragedy, when 26 people lost their lives, the bombs exploded once again with the Court verdict”, Balla declared.

Balla accused the Prime Minister and his son for corruptive affairs. Balla declared that the Prime Minister’s son has declared 200.000 EUR of annual profit in his business.

“The Prime Minister must explain the wealth of his son that earns 200.000 EUR annually”, the Prime Minister declared.

The Prime Minister rejected Balla’s declaration, considering it a slander. Berisha Minister expressed his readiness to confiscate the wealth of his son if proved that he has taken a single Euro from the public sector.

“Taulant Balla was sentenced by the court for slander. He has an open process with my son. My children have declared their assets, but if he has guaranteed a single Euro from the public sector, I will ask for his assets to be confiscated”, the PM declared.

Balla, on the other hand, expressed his readiness to abandon his mandate if the Prime Minister’s son has not declared 200.000 EUR of annual profits from his business.
