Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha said in a statement to the media from the DP group meeting that he was in favor of the investment project in the Zvërneci area presented by Jared Kushner, based on his full confidence that he has the right money.
"For several days now, the Zvërnec problem has become a national and international issue.
I consider it necessary to present our position to you once again. Our position. Let us present it openly with complete sincerity and I believe that it is fully consistent with the program of the Democratic Party. I ask for your understanding to go back two or three years ago when the news was given.
That the 'Affinity' company of the son-in-law of former US President Trump, at the time when he was not in power, has shown special interest and will invest in Sazan and Zvërnec, at that time it was said 2 billion or something of that nature.
My reaction to this news was this.
Despite the fact that he was in the opposition, I completely agree. Why? To be open with you. I only said one word, because he has the money. Because it was said that the Saudi fund, the Saudi investment fund, the Saudi fund, are public investment funds, it is a trillion-dollar fund. He has trillions and of course there was money.
The main reason I said yes was this and I linked it to money. With this, I had absolutely no doubt that Edi Rama was buying political influence.
I didn't doubt this at all. But again, for me, the national interest, the interest of the country came before this. It came before this.
The investment was made after the Omnix company was expelled, for which I felt the greatest regret, which had prepared 1.5 billion euros of investments in the Bay of Lalzit and was expelled, I found out later, by the Albanian mafia. The Albanian mafia. He's gone.
That Qatari investor was there too, as far as I know. He took it, broke its bones, and made its representative at the Limuthi bridge, Rrumi, run over it. But someone tells me he didn't leave for that, but he left because the Albanian mafia appeared on the surrounding borders and now you'll get this, or you'll get that, in a word, they completely expelled him. Gone! 1.5 billion," Berisha said.
Berisha also spoke about the investment in the island of Sazan, calling those who lament the plight of nature in that area, which, as he said, is not affected at all by the investment, hypocrites.
"As for the island, those who cry, the elites of Sazani, they are a group of hypocrites, for whom they can shed crocodile tears as much as they want, because Sazani is absolutely, because I myself was directly involved and my predecessor was involved, Fatos Nano, we have offered it to investors and it is not a simple investment.
Nothing is destroyed there, friends. There is a strange way that Sazani is this. There are neither shores nor sea, it is that wonderful vegetation on an island without water. The vegetation is, there is a vegetation that will be preserved. So, Sazani is public land. Zvërnec is private land in its entirety. It is habitable, they have inhabited it. Okay. So we support foreign investment", said the chief democrat.
