Berisha's futile struggle with threats to the media and journalists, who published the SPAK Accusation against him

Berisha's futile struggle with threats to the media and journalists, who

Sali Berisha seems worried by the publication of SPAK's 500-page file on the corruption affair of the Partizani sports club. If his accusations and insults against the Special Prosecutor's Office have already become commonplace, today Berisha's arrows were also aimed at journalists who published details from the file.

"You can write to the DP press office, or to me personally on WhatsApp, and I am ready to answer you for everything," Berisha told reporters, while threatening those who publish the dossier that , if they do so without getting his variant on the event, will treat them as "criminal gang members, the GOAT of the party."

In short, whoever dares to publish the version of the prosecutors without that of Berisha, will hang on the pillar of shame that the former prime minister has ready for all those who think differently from him.

As a journalist, I have to tell Mr. Berisha that the publication of the SPAK file on the case in charge of him and his son-in-law is of high public interest, because it is about a politician who for more than 30 years has led the government and the opposition in this country. Just as Berisha and his son-in-law have daily space in the media to present their version of the event, the media also has the right to publish the details from the file.

Both sides, like SPAK with the file that is no longer secret, as well as Sali Berisha with its variant, have enough space in the media to express their positions. Albanians in this case are free to think and judge about the truth of the facts of the file or about the version of the Berisha family. Journalists are also free to write and publish their opinions, as well as the SPAK file on the Berisha family.

These threats by a former prime minister that he will treat journalists with banal nicknames, as he does with prosecutors, do not suit Mr. Berisha's age or political career. Rama's "media cauldron" and Berisha's "servants of SPAK" are unwarranted attacks on those who think differently from the aforementioned.

The media and journalists can publish the file together with their opinion, even without calling Sali Berisha or the DP Press Office to get their opinion. The entire Berisha family, together with the respective spokespersons, has had and has at their disposal the televisions, shows, analysts and opinion-makers since the moment of the file's publication.

Let them make the most of this space to present their version of the facts. Even to do politics. But for the media to allow space for a former prime minister and his family to denigrate and threaten journalists, this is excessive and ugly.

Sali Berisha's threats are not a surprise to those who know his style of politics. Insults and personal attacks are his way of fighting back against anyone who doesn't think like him. After SPAK, the current leader of the opposition has already opened a new battle front: the one with the journalists who "dare" to publish facts from the file of the former club Partizani, without his permission.

It is true that Berisha has a repertoire of sharper insults than those that Rama uses as slang for journalists critical of the government. But the big commonality between them is that, when they are in trouble, they attack the media and journalists. And this is no longer a surprise. Just as it is no longer a surprise that these battles with the media or journalists have not helped them to solve the problems with justice. This will happen this time too...
