Four Democratic Party MPs – Klevis Balliu, Ivi Kaso, Belind Këlliçi and Besart Xhaferrraj – are in Washington, where they have participated in a security forum. From the American capital, they have posted a joint selfie, accompanied by solemn messages about the importance of security and the fight against organized crime.
In their post, the MPs emphasize that “security is key to development” and that the fight against drug cartels is a necessary step for stability. They point out that the Trump administration in the US has intensified this battle, while Albania, according to them, must strengthen its justice institutions to guarantee a safe environment and long-term development.
But behind the facade of this solemn message, Niko Peleshi himself appears in the background giving a speech.
After facing what they themselves call "drug control" in Tirana, opposition MPs went all the way to the US Congress... to hear Niko Peleshi's speech.
The Speaker of the Parliament himself has published footage from the forum hall, where he is seen delivering his official speech. In this context, the presence of the DP deputies in the auditorium seems paradoxical: those who accuse the majority in Tirana, closely follow its representative in Washington. And with photos even…
Instead of the political confrontation taking place in the Assembly or on domestic grounds, it was moved – at least symbolically – to an American hall, where the opposition became the audience of the Assembly leader.
From their social media posts, the "excursion" seems to be going well amid meetings, photos, and messages about global security. Meanwhile, the real political battle with the government remains where it has been: in Albania.
