Analysts Agim Baçi has stated that the reaction of the SP MP, Elisa Spiropali, indicates the existence of strong pressure on her, raising questions about the internal climate in the party and the functioning of the institutions. It is suspected that Spiropali's businesses are being pressured by the tax administration, an action that according to sources is related to her recent public stances in relation to the former Deputy Prime Minister, Belinda Balluku.
Invited to the lunch program at News24, Baçi said that the fact that Spiropali has chosen to communicate through social networks may indicate that her voice is being hindered or that she is facing attacks and calls to silence.
"The very idea that communicating on social media can imply a stifled voice, or pressure not to speak," he said.
Baçi stressed that Spiropal's reaction should be taken seriously, given her previous role as head of important state institutions. According to him, the main concern she raises is related to a functioning model where the law is replaced by order.
"This is a major problem, where it is no longer the law that governs, but the order," the analyst said.
He added that her statement should be discussed in party forums and in the parliamentary group, warning that if it remains only on social media, its impact will be limited.
According to Baçi, Spiropali's reaction implies great pressure on her, while the manner of public communication indicates difficulties in addressing these issues within the party's structures.
Spiropali herself, in her reaction, claims that she has been advised to remain silent and warns of a climate where institutions, according to her, have become instruments of pressure and decision-making is no longer done in a collegial manner.
She speaks of a model where the administration is influenced by orders and pressures, while the attacks, according to her, reach even family members, exceeding the limits of political debate.
Baçi emphasizes that the situation requires confrontation and open debate within the party. He also brought to attention international examples, underlining that political changes begin with opposition and open denunciation.
The Tax Attack on Spiropal
It is learned that the family offices of former minister Elisa Spiropali have been inspected by the tax administration, an action that, according to the same sources, is related to her recent public stances in relation to former deputy prime minister, Belinda Balluku.
According to these sources, it is alleged that important state institutions, including the tax administration and tax investigation structures, are being used for pressure purposes, not only against political opponents, but also against critical voices within the majority itself.
In her public reaction, Spiropali emphasizes that she does not feel intimidated by these actions, implying that, according to her, the country is facing a worrying phase in the functioning of institutions, where they can be used for attacks and defense in the service of certain interests.
The allegations have not been officially confirmed by the relevant institutions, and it remains to be seen whether there will be any reactions or clarifications regarding this issue.
