The MP of the Opportunity Party was invited today to the Lunch Program in News24, where he spoke about the political situation in the country and developments regarding the confrontation between politics and justice and the invitation received from Trump for Albania's participation in the Peace Board.
According to him, Prime Minister Edi Rama is trying to use the invitation of US President Donald Trump to participate in the Peace Board, as a message to the Constitutional Court and the Special Prosecutor's Office, not to open a case against him, as in the case of Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku. According to Kapri, Rama is trying to create the belief that he has the support of the US President. He further focused on the Balluku case, where he stated that no matter how much she tries to postpone it, the Deputy Prime Minister has "finished her job" and will be held accountable.
"Beyond that ugly session with the Prime Minister's attacks, how is it possible that the Prime Minister is not held accountable? Faced with the private interest of the investor, the Prime Minister chooses this and not the state interest."
The Prime Minister has a big problem and his problem is justice. He is trying to send a message to SPAK and GJK that he has Trump's protection and don't you dare open an issue with me like you did with Balluk. The biggest pressure is on the Constitutional Court.
"In the Balluku case, the situation is delicate because he does not resign and the prosecution says he has put pressure on witnesses. Most Albanians want corruption punished and this is what we are trying to do with the protests. Balluku has finished his work, no matter how much he tries to delay it, he will be held accountable, but what remains is Rama's fate," he said.
Kapri also spoke about the decriminalization of defamation and insult and the "scam" that he said is being used by the government, which he said will later be used as a mechanism to put pressure on journalists.
"Thanks to the EU's insistence, it has been requested that insult and defamation be decriminalized. The government does not want this to happen and is using an ugly trap, according to which the government officials will not sue journalists for defamation, as long as the latter are registered. This will be used later to exert pressure," he said.
