Democratic Party MP Tomor Alizoti has commented on the new wiretaps of Ergys Agasi. In those recordings, Agasi, during a conversation with two Israelis, says among other things that the head of the State Intelligence Service, Vlora Hyseni, is a close friend of his. Alizoti made these statements on the show Zonë e Lirë.
He said that what is heard in the recordings is terrible and shows that the state has been brought to its knees. According to the Democratic MP, it is scandalous that the head of the secret service is, as he put it, “captured” by a powerful individual. Alizoti stressed that such a situation in a state amounts to a disgrace.
He described as unacceptable that the head of the institution most important for keeping secrets should be under the influence of a powerful person. He pointed out that secret service systems were serious even during the dictatorship. Now, matters that should have remained highly classified are being discussed openly in television studios.
According to him, this shows that banality is emerging in the country’s most important institution for secrets. He described this as the decline of the state. Alizoti added that if the head of the secret service falls under the influence of a powerful person, the consequences for a state are severe.
He called it terrible that the head of the secret service can be captured by a powerful individual. He underlined that this should not happen in a normal state. The Democratic MP reiterated that what should have been top secret is being discussed publicly.
He described this as a clear signal of the weakening of institutions. The new wiretaps of Ergys Agasi have prompted strong political reactions. Alizoti urged the public to understand the importance of what is happening.
He stressed that secret service systems, even under the most repressive regimes, functioned with seriousness. Now they are being called into question. According to him, this is a clear indication that the state is on its knees.
He added that security institutions are no longer protected from external influences. Alizoti did not give other details about the content of the wiretaps. He stressed that what has been made public is sufficient to raise serious concerns.
He described as unacceptable that such a sensitive matter is being discussed in studios. He added that this damages the image of the institutions and citizens’ trust. So far, there has been no official reaction from the security institutions regarding these statements. The political debate continues.
