Sali Berisha, leader of the Democratic Party of Albania, presented serious allegations against Prime Minister Edi Rama during a debate within the EPP parliamentary group in Strasbourg. He described the situation in Albania as a major security risk for Europe, calling the country a “narco-state” controlled by Rama.
According to Berisha:
- Drug cartels directly linked to Rama dominate European drug markets, including marijuana, heroin, and cocaine.
- Albania has allegedly become a hub for money laundering through real estate developments, towers, and tourist resorts.
- This situation, he claims, is part of a strategy to establish a dangerous far-left dictatorship in Albania and potentially beyond.
Berisha urged member states of the Council of Europe to raise their voices against this serious threat, warning that the country’s political and economic potential is being undermined by drug-related corruption.
“I presented the great risk represented by the Albanian narco-state led by Edi Rama, often referred to as Ramaduro or the Noriega of Europe, dominating the drug trade and laundering money through hundreds of towers, buildings, and tourist resorts,” Berisha said.
He emphasized that this is far-left propaganda aiming to restore a dangerous dictatorship, not only in Albania but across Europe and the world.
