The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, held a meeting today focused on food safety issues, raising strong concerns about institutional negligence in this sector.

During his speech, Berisha stated that problems only come to light when high-ranking government figures are affected, ironically mentioning the case of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who, according to him, fell ill from consuming contaminated products.

He accused the government of a lack of transparency and deliberate investigations, and stressed the need for deep reform and increased funding, describing food and medicine safety as vital issues for national security.

"Bribery has now taken on a ruthless vertical character. So it goes all the way to the minister, is guaranteed, and continues without any concern."
We only find out when our products are returned and we make very bad news that we threaten other nations, other societies with our products that they export.
And they return them to us because they are found to contain poisons that cannot be traded or when they create a salmonella epidemic, and then it is only discovered when the prime minister falls ill with salmonella.
Until then, she didn't realize it.
And until then, no one held anyone accountable, and after that, the AKU guy came out and said he would resign.
Who had these? These were brought by a government official and someone close to the government, so there was no investigation, no accountability.
And he resigned because Edi Rama got sick, which he said he got from turtles. But absolutely from chickens. For sure.
"But he solves his health issues himself, citizens should solve their health issues," he said.
