Berisha: New Code, a major attack on free speech

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, declared that the new Penal Code "marks an almost doubling of legal violence against citizens."

"Once again, the narco-state could not help but draft the narco-code. Yesterday, in a public statement, the Prosecutor General courageously denounced the fact that his institution or he as the representative of the prosecution in the Republic of Albania, had no knowledge of the Rama-Ulsiu code. So, when I declared to you that it had emerged from the caves of the mafia, of course there were people who greeted it with surprise. But, well, I say to all those who were surprised, now that the Prosecutor General declares that his institution has never been asked for consultation or opinion, you understand what the code represents, which truly marks almost a doubling of legal violence against citizens," said Berisha, writes A2.

The Democratic leader stressed that this code is "a major attack on free speech."

"Prison for parking, prison for electricity bills, prison for water bills, prison for building on your land, on your plot.
So, and halving the sentences for abusive officials. Major attacks against free speech, free thought. It goes to the extent that an article is made to protect Altin Dumani and Irena Gjoka. Is it possible? I don't believe there is a place in the world where citizens, lawyers, do not have the right to denounce and condemn the injustice done to them in the courtroom. The absurdity of the code exceeds all limits. And why this article to protect Irena Gjoka and Altin Troplini? Because they are in the service of the regime, the most incriminated in the justice system. Can you imagine a mercenary who heads the special prosecution with four apartments, throughout his life with one salary, and even finds Edi Rama's megaphones saying that he is honest. You have now heard the last term, "He is a dictator, but he is a liberal. These are people emptied of both the cerebral cortex and human character," added Sali Berisha.

"So, the media is being used by Edi Rama, it is being misused to the most extreme degree and now even those few brave journalists who are left and who rightly ask the question of how it is possible that Altin Troplini has three apartments in his name with his salary and lives as a tenant with his father-in-law, with suspicions that he is a shareholder in that villa, to continue his duty, while another judge, because he paid his brother's electricity bills, is being called his apartment. The former President of the Constitutional Court. Those bills were used as evidence by Altin Dumani and others to sentence him to a year in prison", Berisha stressed. (A2 Televizion)
