Ish-kryeministri Sali Berisha ka publikuar një Email të diasporës shqiptare në Kanada, të cilët zbulojnë refuzimin qe i eshte bere kryeministrit Edi Rama per te marre pjese ne forumin Ekonomik Global në Torino.
Sipas Emailit, thuhet se motivi i perjashtimi të Ramës, ka te beje me faktin se pjesemarrja e tij mund te prishe imazhin e forumit.

About the participation of the Prime Minister of Albania to Toronto Global Forum.
Dear Mr. Rémillard,
We are a group of Albanian-Canadian intellectuals and businessmen who have learned with dismay that Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has been invited to attend the 13th edition of Toronto Global Forum (Leading the New Economy) hosted by your highly respected organization on September 4-6, 2019.
While your activities contribute to a more just, inclusive and sustainable world, the presence, among world leaders, renowned experts and business executives, of a Prime Minister who has degraded the course of democracy in his country and plunged the country’s economy into corruption and informality, would probably be considered a questionable gesture of encouragement, a misstep that may not pair with the principles and values of your reputable forum.
We would like to draw your attention to recent information that may update the picture you already have about the situation of Albania under Mr. Rama’s government over the past 6 years.
The state of Democracy in Albania
The elections in Albania are free but rigged in a regular basis, since the day Mr. Rama seized the power. The government controls all the big media companies to such a degree that the opposition can’t get a fair hearing. The biggest German Newspaper BILD has been publishing credible evidence how Mr. Rama rigged the elections in Albania and how he and his ministers are allegedly connected and work with the organized crime. In the previous legislature, 19 MP of his caucus were individuals with criminal records. Facing the impossibility to be heard and to be elected in this fraudulent climate, the opposition does not participate in elections anymore and actually is out of the political system. Mr. Rama runs one of the most undemocratic regimes of the post-communist era in Albania – and has undermined and abused democratic institutions and procedures at every turn. Under the pretext of judicial reform, Mr. Rama has destroyed the check and balance system by abolishing the Constitutional and Supreme Courts.
He has appointed a non-consensual General Attorney, violating the articles of the Constitution on this matter. And what is happening now is that the Attorney General, a puppet of Mr. Rama, is destroying all the reasonable evidence collected by her predecessors, evidence that could seriously charge the government and its members. The country is plunged into a serious constitutional and political crisis. With the last municipal elections 99.99% won, the party of Mr. Rama has seized practically all the town halls of the country. Albania became the first country in Europe, since the fall of the wall, where a single party controls the central and local power in the mass of 100%.
Mr. Rama already has absolute power and his party has seized all powers. The President of the Republic is excluded and his decrees ignored. The opposition is too weak, outside the system and divided to pose a major threat in the near future.
Albania is a warning about what could happen when, in the name of stability, Western societies tolerate the seizure of all institutions by a major political party that is thus allowed to govern without control.
The state of Albanian Economy
The economy of Albania is in full collapse. Most people subsist mainly by emigrants’ remittances and informal money entered the country by dubious activities. Organised crime has corrupted every layer of Albanian government. There are no longer any public submissions and bidders in Albania. The major contracts are awarded to the same companies on several occasions. Through a systematic obscure and non-transparent conduct, Mr. Rama is sharing the biggest assets of public economy with a handful of friends and supporters, through the so-called Private-Public-Partnership (PPPs) schemes. Just to bring an example, a brand new company supposedly registered in Delaware in the United States just days before the award of a major contract of 240 million euros (CAN $352 million) is part of these notorious projects. After publications on a private investigative portal, it came out that the certificate of constitution was forged as well as the signature of the Delaware Secretary of State on the Corporation acts.
The economy has been in steady decline during Mr. Rama’s tenure. No new foreign investors in the last six years and the majority of foreign companies operating in Albania before 2013 are now leaving, due to the arbitrary treatment inflicted by the corrupt administration and the total absence of the justice system. Just an example as illustration: The government of Mr. Rama has recently lost an international legal battle of 140 million euros (CAN $205 million) for the benefit of a foreign investor, whose business had been suspended and the assets seized arbitrarily by the government. Corruption has undermined citizens’ trust in public institutions and hurt anyone whose lives, livelihoods or happiness depend on the integrity of people in positions of authority. 500,000 hopeless Albanians have left the country during the last 6 years of the regime of Mr. Rama and there are fears the trend will only worsen.
It is for the above reasons, we believe, that Canadian government has not been extending any invitations to the dignitaries of Albania from 2015 and has not rectified yet the Foreign Investment Protection Agreement even though the negotiations were concluded in 2013.
Being proud Albanian – Canadians residing in this Great Country, we would like to see Albania progress in the road of Democracy.
We thank you for the attention to our concerns and please accept our highest regards!
