Representatives of the Democratic Party have come to the defense of the owner of News24, Irfan Hysebelliu, as he is having two swimming pools demolished by IKMT in the "Prestige" resort, with the argument that they are without permission.
The vice-president of the DP, Luciano Boçi, says that Rama is attacking Hysenbelli because his media are "realistic and professional".
"A pure political attack and not only, because of the realistic and professional attitudes of the News 24, Panorama and Gazeta Shqiptare media on government affairs, Edi Rama orders the demolition of a part of the resort owned by the publisher I.Hysenbelliu", he writes Bocce.
Then it was Berisha himself who called the demolition of Hysenbelli's swimming pools a "political attack". But, unlike today's position of the DP, which speaks of free and professional media, a short time ago, in February 2022, Sali Berisha denounced Hysenbelli and his media as captured by the government and paid for by the incinerators' money , writes TPZ .
"Specialized in the manipulation of evidence and lies, this is how Irfan Hysenbelliu, the head of Taulant Balles, who finances the media with the money of incinerators, deceives the public on account of the man who lies and when he sleeps!", wrote Berisha in February 2022.
So within a few months, according to the opposition, Irfan Hysenbelli's media went from "captured by the government and incinerators' money" to "realistic and professional".
Hysenbelliu considers the demolition of the pools to be political, but the Ministry of Interior claims that they are unauthorized and that Hysenbelliu is using his media to defend the illegality.
