Bardhi responds to the Prime Minister: The only obstacle to the EU is Edi Rama
 Gazment Bardhi 

The head of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, has reacted on social media after Prime Minister Edi Rama's podcast, where in his weekly notes he focused on Albania's integration into the EU.

"Nothing can stop European Albania," Rama said, adding that the opposition was rejoicing and burning the country while trumpeting the blocking of the process.

Bardhi states that the member states' report reiterates concerns about the protection of Belinda Balluku.

Full post

There is only one thing stopping European Albania.

His name is Edi Rama.

In order to close the accession negotiations for the Basic Chapter Group only, the EU imposed 34 severe conditions on Albania. Because Edi Rama defended corruption with a vote in Parliament and provided Belinda Balluku immunity from arrest by SPAK.

In its 34 conditions for Albania, the European Union officially expresses regret for the Parliament's decision in defense of Belinda Balluku and urges the Assembly to implement European standards for immunity.

In language never before used for Albania, the EU calls corruption a "crucial concern," making Albania's negotiating position more difficult.

For the first time in an official public report, the EU identifies the construction sector as a channel for money laundering through "non-financial transactions" and directly links this to corruption.

For the first time in an official negotiating document, the EU identifies patronage networks as a problem for the elections: the system by which the Socialist Party controls the vote through the state administration.

For the first time, the EU is demanding elections fully in line with OSCE/ODIHR standards as an official condition for concluding negotiations. Because Edi Rama's elections have never been like that.

The EU demands “effective and unhindered parliamentary oversight, including investigative committees”; a right that Rama has systematically denied to the opposition.

The EU also demands the implementation of the decisions of the Constitutional Court, which Rama has ignored, delayed or not implemented at all.

The Fundamentals chapter group opens first and closes last.

But without closing the Edi Rama chapter, Albania cannot close the negotiations.
