"I have never traveled privately with state money", Berisha reacts

In addition to the protest, the prime minister's foreign trips and expenses have recently returned to the spotlight. After a video published in recent days showing Rama in a bar in Switzerland, there were numerous accusations online that the prime minister is taking private trips with state budget money.

Rama himself categorically denied these allegations, while the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, has also spoken about this issue.

"Today he, with the vulgar language of a gangster, reacts to the protest and regarding his trip to Switzerland. He swears and swears that he and his wife did not travel for private purposes with state money. I tell him that you are a fraud not two meters tall, but two kilometers long.

And if you keep it, come on, let's create a commission to analyze 140 trips with Ismail available, how many were official and how many were private and family. But you have no shame and you will come up with a lie with every sentence. Order them to keep it, why didn't you allow the parliamentary investigative commission for your 140 trips in two years that cost the country 23 million euros.

And now you swear from there that I have never traveled with state money on private trips. Show us the receipts of 200 or 300 thousand euros that you paid Ismail from your own pocket on 140 trips. Meanwhile, in two years, the US president has traveled 73 times, not Donald Trump, but those in four years.

Tell us a little, it's easy to use gangster expressions and you think that makes you more credible. But let's establish what the truth is. That with those trips, you are accused of transporting money, there are others who say drugs, I can't say, I don't have the facts, but for money yes, I challenge you, order us to create the commission that you wanted tomorrow.

And now you're attacking me with gangster language because I, such and such, have never traveled... but how much did you pay for the plane? At a time when the Chancellor of Austria used to travel on official trips, he used to travel, now I don't know, he used to travel on commercial flights.

"Yes, Austria is a country that is many, many times richer and has the highest income. That is why I urgently ask them to allow the commission. The creation of the commission would enable full transparency before the Albanians," said Berisha.
