Will he join the votes with Rama for the "dissolution" of SPAK? How
Berisha and Rama

In a press conference, Sali Berisha was asked this evening if he would join the votes with the SP to undo this justice, given that both the opposition and the majority have "joined" in the protests against SPAK.

Berisha said he would never unite his votes with a "criminal organization in power," as he called the Socialist Party.

"I have declared, Albanians will vote for the DP and its government will engage the most serious institution in the world, the most knowledgeable in lawmaking, the most capable, which is the Venice Commission," Berisha said.

Question from journalists:

Mr. Berisha, it seems that the political point that unites all political parties today, regardless of their wing, are the anti-SPAK protests. After all, after the PD and PL, today it was the turn of SP supporters to protest against the arrest of Erion Veliaj. Meanwhile, at the parliamentary group meeting, Prime Minister Edi Rama warned that May 11 will be the mandate of democratic standards of justice. In the event of any justice reform approved by consensus in 2016, will you unite the votes in parliament, since you have also spoken about the undoing of this justice and the establishment of a Truth Commission, which in cooperation with the Venice Commission will build a new justice?

Berisha: First, it is not true that the party protested there today. The municipal administration, municipal employees, state employees protested.

What the SP does is its business. Today, if you want, I can give you messages, witnesses, that they were sent to the municipality by force. With the threat of losing their jobs, the municipality employees

So, between those protesting there today to defend their chief thief and the free citizens of the opposition who are protesting, there is a difference like night and day.

It's not true that we unite, no, we don't unite.

Second, I have denounced and continue to denounce SPAK as a criminal organization and have provided clarifications to you.

By this I don't mean every employee in that institution, but I mean those prosecutors who close crimes, those prosecutors who use official documents to fine criminals and murderers to facilitate and manipulate their files.

Yes, I have these and I could never make such statements without irrefutable evidence and facts.

These are the evidence and facts and the interest of the citizens who pay them to fight crime, not to collect fines from criminals and get rich.

I never vote with a criminal organization in power.

I have declared that Albanians will vote for the Democratic Party and its government will engage the most serious institution in the world, the most knowledgeable in lawmaking, the most capable, which is the Venice Commission.

We have started some work, just for information, with very prominent European experts, to do some kind of observation of this and find a way because the people want a solution, a state wants a solution. Albania cannot remain without a civil process, without a criminal process. The OECD also said it, no one comes to Albania to invest.

And of course with a political prosecutor's office that does not make the law, but implements the minister's orders. Order, I said, no matter how much it seems like Veliaj's job, he was traded head to head, took Olsi's head, left Erion's head. This is the truth. Why? Because with Olsi he had to resign.

What did he say to Altin? Ore told him, if you catch this, I resign and Berisha comes. Yes, I will come, there is nothing stopping me. It ended.

I am eagerly awaiting May 11. The opposition will come to power and all of this will be in vain for them.
