The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, praised the Trump administration's decision to cut off foreign funding and close the aid agency, USAID. He recalled a former conversation with US Ambassador Donald Lu, to whom he had told about the infiltration of the George Soros network, which he said was working against the opposition.
"It was the coup d'état within the state that was undertaken against the DP by Secretary Blinken under the influence of George Soros, which created the problem. But we have never, regardless of who has been in power, had any idea that we would boycott US institutions. But we have openly expressed our opinions, that is what we have done. And no matter how much someone may say what is happening with these radical changes that President Trump is undertaking, the truth is that in many respects, these changes are of importance, in my opinion, for that country and for the free world", Berisha said in a press conference.
"I tell you, I have raised with Ambassador Donald Lu, with great concern, but not to say with anger, the fact that American taxpayers' money was being used against my party, against the opposition. And he swore to me lying that it was not happening. And it was later discovered that it was happening. I could never blacken projects that have been successful and there are not a few, but these forms... Or someone else would come out, find a guy in Lezha, make him the hero of Albania, and bring out that he was being persecuted by Berisha for being gay, at a time when Albania had hundreds or thousands of gays and no one was being persecuted. What was that? Corruption was that. In a word, I applaud this effort, because the transformation of the US is the greatest interest of American citizens and free people in the world. Of course, America does not give up aid, but it cannot allow corruption. It cannot allow it to be used for political purposes against political parties opposing the government." (A2 Televizion)
