Declared non grata and removed with dollars would be a stain on the US

In Albania, a very dangerous opinion is being heavily invested in for the image of the US in the eyes of Albanians: 'non gratta' declarations in Washington can be made with dollars and can be removed with dollars!
An opinion like this shows the American state to be an arena of swindlers who, using American greatness and factions in the administration, make money off of the various abuses of the political tycoons of a small country.
If proven, it would completely invalidate the legal instrument of 'non gratta' declarations as a tool intended to combat corruption and the undermining of democracy in friendly countries. Furthermore, it would deal a severe blow to American values.
Personally, I did not believe Sali Berisha when he told his followers that he was the victim of a conspiracy sponsored by billionaire George Soros and his tools in the State Department. Not that I knew anything more than others. But the idea that one billionaire among the many in the US could drag the decision-making of the most powerful country in the world for petty interests did not sit well with me.
Likewise today, for the same reason, the opposite project to undo a 'non gratta' with 6 million dollars, does not stand up to me.
For the lobbying of the announcement four years ago, we do not know how many dollars were made available if any, how they were given if they were given, who was paid, what traces they left in the sanctioning procedure of the former Albanian Prime Minister. Berisha and his circle of friends in the US have not brought any evidence during these years. They have kept it at the level of opinion.
For the opposing lobbying, aimed at removal, there is full transparency. Which is much better than if it remained behind the scenes. The contract with the lobbying company "Continental Strategy" worth 6 million dollars was registered according to the rules.
The actors are exposed by name and surname. Carlos Trujillo, an early Trump ally, the daughter of Trump's chief of staff, Susie Wiles, Alberto Martinez, who was chief of staff to Senator Marco Rubio before becoming secretary of state. All at key points.
According to Albanian clichés about the parties, the girl will tell her mother, the mother will tell Trump. If the mother breaks, Trump will tell Rubio, who will be covered in the meantime!
Everyone who can afford it has the right to spend money to remove a punishment, a stigma. Whether it's fair or unfair.
In the case of Berisha, currently the leader of the DP, removal would clear his name and would have political and public value if it met two conditions:
First, Secretary Rubio denounces the possible intrigues that have produced the sanctioning of the Prime Minister of Albania. In other words, he rejects the decision of his predecessor Blinken as injustice. This would be ideal. The United States is the country that has made a difference in the virtue of the force to recognize and correct its mistakes.
Of course, for Berisha the person and for the relations between the two countries, it is valuable to remove him even as an apology or in the form of a fait accompli, without touching on the motives for the removal.
Second, by ensuring that these acts are done for free. To the honor of the United States and the person who requested it. Who is presumed to be an ally of the ruling Republican Party.
On the contrary, if this story is kept in suspense and advanced towards its finalization in installments, with the receipt of all the bribes or more, the image and cult of the USA in Albania would suffer a strong decline, something depressing for the overwhelming majority of Albanians. The demonic power of money to call black white and white black would be legitimized. Further and worse, the "rule of law" and "no one above the law" as still fragile achievements, would risk being sacrificed in the jungle of impunity and callousness.
Therefore, the call to American partners is: Remove the 'non-woman' Sali Berisha as soon as possible. Without dollars. With dollars, it costs Albania very, very dearly.
