Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha declared that “Edi Rama appeared more than ever before to Albanians as a bastard of the communist executioners to whom he belongs”.
“Today he came before Albanians as a spokesman of the prosecution of past times. He accused or presented a gallery of names, according to him, as criminals, with accusations of all kinds, from cold weapons, to the production and use of drugs, to incest. He forgot that mentioning the rope in the house of the hanged man is not wisdom, because if they return to his court file from the 1990s, they will find there accusations that he should never have made against others. He said that nowhere in Europe has it happened that there are more wounded policemen than wounded protesters. Shameless, dishonest, immoral! The ratio of wounded protesters to policemen is at least 1 to 15, it may be 1 to 30, because there are dozens, hundreds of wounded who avoid hospitals to avoid persecution.
So, he deceived in the most shameless way. I say that nowhere in Europe has it happened that figures are manipulated the way you manipulate them, because Albanians saw during these 11 days skulls split by bullets of the protesters. They saw volleys of bullets on their bodies. They saw, as perhaps never before and nowhere else, dozens of bodies lying there alive, unconscious or half-conscious, in the hall of the Ministry of Education. They saw beasts, real animals in uniform, who would climb on protesters lying on the ground and kick them to break their limbs, and they broke their limbs. They saw barbarity against minors, as if they were not children but game animals. Albanians saw all of this. The truth is that the wounded policemen who have been seen can be counted on the fingers of one’s hands.
And this shameless man thinks he is before Rudina, who used to say she had made 1 million 600 thousand kilometers of roads in Albania,” Berisha said in a statement to the media.
