'He was in a room with a man'/ Berisha talks about the beating of Rama

DP leader Sali Berisha has reacted to Edi Rama's statements about the barbaric beating in January 1997, when the prime minister claims that his nose was broken beyond repair. It is not known why Rama has brought up this story while Albanians have been protesting against him and the DP leader for 86 days, but he has always accused Sali Berisha of being behind the serious incident.

Berisha accuses Rama of being victimized for a past event, while raising other allegations about the circumstances of the incident and the way the case was pursued by justice.

According to Berisha, the perpetrator of the attack was arrested, but Rama did not pursue the legal process further, despite the fact that, according to him, the government at the time was in power.

Berisha also claims that Rama was not alone in the room where the incident occurred, stating that witnesses can confirm this, while describing as unclear the story that, according to him, Rama is using to foster empathy among citizens.

Berisha: Immersed in luxury vehicles, avoiding press conferences because he can't stand appearing in front of journalists, he began to victimize himself for an incident, for which I am making these clarifications.

First, the aggressor was arrested, but it was Edi Rama who did not pursue him, even though he had his own government, he did not follow the trial and the judicial process.

Whether he agreed or had other reasons, I don't know.

Secondly, I declare with full responsibility that he, where he was, in that room, was with another man. I won't let this one go without revealing everything.

And he has a first and last name. Why they were, I don't know, no, I won't say.

But the truth is, there are witnesses who say he wasn't alone in the room. No, he wasn't alone.

If he wants, I'll even tell him the name of who he was with, even though he tries to justify it and politicize it.

Therefore, there were not a few who called this act a crime of passion, which I condemned with the greatest force.

I punished him with the utmost force.

The perpetrator has been arrested.

But I don't know what deals he made or what kind of relationship he had with Edi Rama.

And now, after 30 years, he deceives the citizens by saying, "Look who broke my nose."

Tell the truth as it is, although I have told it partially, but what I said, these are 100 percent true.

I'm not saying it was a crime of passion or it wasn't a crime of passion, I'm saying what others say.

But I say that Edi Rama refused to follow the judicial process, even though de facto they were in power.

This is his story, trying to deceive, victimize, incite, evoke compassion, empathy, etc., etc., about things that are extremely ambiguous.

Po ndodh...
