They blackmailed her with taxes. Why did Elisa Spiropali explode?

It seems that the clash between Elisa Spiropali and Edi Rama, and especially Belinda Balluku, who has aligned herself with him, will know no turning back.
This Friday, the former speaker of the assembly and the former dismissed foreign minister, made one of the most painful radiographs of the abyss into which the party state is rolling. "A living party is being replaced by a fossil structure where everything is filtered through occult appointments. "Directorocracy" has returned to its mode of operation. It has replaced politics with loyalty administration," she wrote in a long note on her Facebook.
For anyone who reads it laterally, it is one of the harshest criticisms that a high-profile figure makes against Edi Rama, with the same alarm that things are going wrong that former Deputy Prime Minister Ahmetaj has previously expressed regarding the use of money, tenders, PPPs and scandals.
But Spiropali seems to be more concerned about the internal democracy in the Socialist Party and about segments of power that illegally control the state. And here, for a careful eye, the bells begin to ring. In her long status, the former foreign minister gave the signs when she spoke about "Institutions that work not according to the law, but according to the will of a few people... that are transformed into instruments of pressure". As if she wanted to talk about something concrete, she continued: "at this point, every business, every media, every individual understands that they are no longer facing a state, but facing a heartless machine that can be used against them."
Based on these clues, Lapsi.al became interested in understanding more. And managed to learn that behind these phrases full of connotations, real events are hidden. A source from the tax directorate told Lapsi that a group of them have received orders to exercise strict controls on the businesses of Spiropali's husband and some of her family members. "At the head of the initiative was a colleague of ours appointed by Belinda Balluku and who continues to obey her. We were not told where they were going, only when we arrived at the business, did we find out that this was related to Elisa. I and another colleague felt very bad, we did not want to continue that reprisal... but an order is an order," he said on condition of anonymity.
To make it all more real, Lapsi's source also showed us photos from the controls and the seizure of computers from offices. This seems to be confirmed by what the former minister herself wrote when she spoke of a: "reality where public institutions with a personal face are used as machetes to intimidate, and where... the honest part of the administration is forced to implement even illegal orders for the interests and pressures of violent and powerful superiors."
A few days ago, after the former foreign minister published a series of critical statuses against Rama, the government, the Socialist Party and especially after she refused to defend Balluk, government-controlled media predicted an attack on her family's businesses. The fact that suddenly these media outlets that are paid to insult Berisha and the opposition attacked a socialist was the first indicator. This is also clearly evident in her status: "When state structures appointed, promoted and controlled by the same hand, now informal, preceded by portals paid for with dark money, begin to brutally attack even family members, in their work, then it is clearly understood that the limits have been crossed, and that it is no longer about politics."
After the media attack, the second move came with the dispatch of tax phalanges by people commanded by Balluk (described as "the same hand, now not formal"), it is not yet known whether with Rama's approval.
It was precisely after this sign of declaration of war, which also fueled the strong status of the former minister, that she wrote in one passage: "I am not afraid of attacks... Not because I am invulnerable, but because if I had been afraid, I would have chosen silence much earlier. Silence is always the easiest option in these situations."
But why does Spiropali speak of fear after the tax blackmail and orchestrated media attacks against her? Because the idea is circulating in the SP that Rama wants to give a greater political shield to Belinda Balluku by imagining elevating her to the rank of number 2 of the Socialists, as general secretary. But before this hypothesis becomes reality, Rama wants such a thing to pass as simply as possible, without noise and without scandals.
Knowing that Spiropali, with her resentment towards Balluk and not accepting a political shield for her, would raise her voice, the option was to use the methods of Gys Agas in the ANA, to blackmail her. No matter how irrational and panic-driven this movement may seem, it seems that "Mamica" has not been defeated by it. And immediately after the tax collection, she decided to speak out: "For me, this is not a purely personal issue. It is an obligation to say that we must do many things better. Not me, but Time demands it. The important division that must be made clearly is not between people. It is between functioning state sectors and abusive personal structures."/lapsi.al
