Rama's beating in 1997, Berisha has another version

Sali Berisha reacted a day after the statement made on Monday afternoon by the head of government, Edi Rama, who responded to all those who have raised a series of conspiracy theories online regarding the deformation of his nose.

Berisha has accused Rama of trying to create another version of that event and presenting himself to citizens as a “victim.” According to what the former prime minister has said, the history of the 1997 incident is much more complicated than the way it was presented by the prime minister and its circumstances, according to him, cannot be used to build a political narrative decades later.

Berisha stated that the perpetrator of the aggression was handcuffed at the time and that a court case had been initiated against him. He claimed that Rama himself, although he had the opportunity to follow the case, had not continued to follow the process and had not requested that it go further.

"First, the aggressor was arrested, but it was Edi Rama who did not pursue him, despite having his own government, he did not pursue the trial and the judicial process was settled or there were other reasons, I do not know. Secondly, with full responsibility I declare that where he was, in that room, he was with another man. That he will not let you go without revealing everything to him.

And he has a name and a surname. Why they were there, I don't know, but the truth is that there are witnesses that he was in the room, he wasn't alone. No, he wasn't alone," Berisha said, while further making other accusations regarding the circumstances of this attack, also mentioning allegations that according to him have been circulating for years about this event of January 22, 1997, where Prime Minister Rama, at the time an arts teacher, was barbarically raped in his home.

Berisha even added that if necessary, he is willing to make public other data related to the person who was in the apartment at the time.

This statement by Sali Berisha came a few hours after the reaction of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who once again brought to attention one of the most discussed episodes of the first years of the Albanian transition.

Rama explained that the asymmetrical shape of his nose was caused by the barbaric rape that SHIK operatives committed on him in 1997 and left him lying on the street, after they thought they had killed him. At the time, Edi Rama was a lecturer at the Academy of Arts, a journalist for “Koha Jonë” and one of the people seen as a challenger to Sali Berisha’s power. He ended up in the hospital, brutally beaten and with a broken nose.

Excerpt from Sali Berisha's statement today:

That went from one government party to another government party and pretended that nothing was happening in Albania. Albania urgently needs to establish a living wage. The latest data on the threat of hunger are the most alarming bells, which demand first of all the minimum living wage and the abolition of VAT on all basic foods. They demand the subsidization of stratospheric rents in narcoeuros and narcodollars. They demand the immediate resignation of Edi Rama, who has lost all legitimacy. He is not legitimate because of the electoral farce, he is not legitimate because of the protection of corruption and thefts he has committed. He is not legitimate because of the installation of the narcostate in Albania. He cannot have a speech from him, he cannot have a sentence from him if it does not start with garbage or does not end with garbage. It is impossible. He has remained in the anal complex phase.

How can I explain it differently? He attacks with such words the protest, the powerful citizen voice that the whole world is listening to, but not the illegal man. Immersed in luxurious means, avoiding the press conference because he can't stand appearing in front of journalists, he can't stand it, he began to victimize himself, to victimize himself. For an incident for which I am making these clarifications. First, the aggressor was arrested, but it was Edi Rama who did not pursue him, despite having his own government, not following the trial and the judicial process being agreed upon or there were other reasons, I do not know. Second, with full responsibility I declare that where he was, in that room, he was with another man. That he would not let you go without telling him everything. And he has a name and surname. Why they were there, I do not know, but the truth is with witnesses that he was in the room, he was not alone.

No, he wasn't alone. If you want, I'll tell you the name of who he was with. Since he's trying to bill and politicize it. That's why there were not a few who called this act a crime of passion, which I condemned with the greatest force, I have condemned with the greatest force. The author has been arrested, but how, what bargains he made, or what relations he had with Edi Rama, I don't know and now, after 30 years, he deceives the citizens that this is who broke my nose. Tell the truth as it is. I will tell it, although I have told it partially, but what I have told you is 100% true, I am not saying that it was or was a crime of passion, I am saying what others are saying. But I say that Rama refused to go to trial. This is his story that tries to deceive and make the victim, to incite, to arouse compassion, empathy, for things that are extremely unclear.
