DP Chairman Sali Berisha publishes Ben Blushi's speech in Parliament, when he "shaken up" the Government, in 2017, when his clashes with the then majority and Prime Minister Edi Rama had reached their peak.
"Rama encouraged drugs and poverty. Gramozi knows, Rama became prime minister by crying at home," Blushi says, while accusing the SP leader of "killing you behind your back." Berisha calls Blushi's statements the speech of his life.
Blushi also emphasizes that Edi Rama became prime minister by seeking his support, that of Gramoz Ruçi and other socialist figures of the time.
"Yes, most of you who have come here don't know (addressing the SP deputies in Parliament), but we who unfortunately have been there, know. Crying... I am not a banal person. I talk about politics, I don't talk about banal things and of course I don't have to tell the many that I know and the many that have told me that I know. I don't tell who I drink wine with because I don't spill the wine glass. I don't come to Parliament to talk about personal things, I come about the things that concern Albania and the international community. Who are these? Drugs, Edi Rama is responsible, he encouraged it. Who are these? Unemployment, Edi Rama is responsible, he encouraged it", Blushi expressed.
Ben Blushi: You Edi is killing you behind your back. Drugs, Edi Rama is responsible, he encouraged it. These things happened because he is this prime minister. There is Ilir Beqaj, the Minister of Health, and the cost of healthcare has increased by 46%. That Saimir Tahiri is the Minister of Interior, and he removed him because there were many bandits here and I did not bring them. Have you seen me with a bandit? There are many Albanians who accuse me of being a friend of Edi Rama. It is true. But is there anyone who tells me that I stayed with a bandit? Is there anyone who tells me that I stayed with Elvis Roshi and says that I became an MP or mayor? Is there anyone who says that I was a friend of Koço Kokëdhima? Is there anyone who tells you that in 25 years, 17 years, Edi Rama, mayor, minister, prime minister, how did it happen? Ask Gramoz, how did it happen, crying for all of us at home. Yes, most of you who have come here don't know (addresses the SP deputies in Parliament), but we who unfortunately have been there, know. Crying… I am not a banal person. I talk about politics, I don't talk about banal things and of course I don't have to tell the many that I know and the many that have told me that I know. I don't tell who I drink wine with because I don't spill the wine glass. I don't come to Parliament to talk about personal things, I come about the things that concern Albania and the international community. Who are these? Drugs, Edi Rama is responsible, he has encouraged it. Who are these? Unemployment, Edi Rama is responsible, he has encouraged it.
I have not governed Albania for a single day, not a single day. Who is responsible for smuggling in Albania? Who is responsible for the 350 million euros that are not taken from the rich in Albania but are forgiven in the form of taxes. Are these my friends or Edi Rama's? 400 thousand poor Albanians have been betrayed, about whom they do not say a single sentence here. Is it me or Edi Rama? This is the trivialization of this Parliament!
