Democratic Party chairman Lulzim Basha has accused former Interior Minister as the main culprit of Albania’s transformation into a cannabis plantation. Basha reacted after Premier Edi Rama’s declaration of war on cannabis.

The Democrat leader says no one should hope that Tahiri or drug trafficker Klement Balili will ever be arrested by Rama’s acrion.

 “With the tragic-comic seriousness he has been possessed of, Edi Rama proclaimed to the world today another historical battle, our heroic war on cannabis and criminal groups connected to drugs. But it is known already that Rama’s only heroism is having arrested the minor wrongdoers, those who are not big enough to have connections to power”, Basha writes.

“Saimir Tahiri is the head of making Albania a cannabis plantation, as much as forcing the foreign partners to give an ultimatum to Rama to fire Tahiri. However, the ones who expect Rama’s action tp affect Tahiri will remain disappointed.

Klement Balili is arguably the biggest drugs trafficker in Albania, but Rama left him free - even though he was wanted by the US government – because, should Balili talk, half of the minister would fall.

That’s why the ones who expect Rama to have Balili arrested will remain disappointed. Fatmir Xhafaj’s brother is also one of Europe’s most wanted traffickers, but those who expect him to be arrested by Rama’s action will remain disappointed too.

Edi Rama’s action will arrest some poor countrymen and small criminals. The real criminals will rule the country, along with Rama. Till the moment the people removes them”.
