Sali Berisha appeared this Thursday at the premises of the Special Prosecutor’s Office as a prosecutor, in relation to the case of judge Irena Gjoka. His exit from SPAK was accompanied by a direct clash with journalists, where Klodiana Lala was placed at the center of the debate.
The News24 reporter asked the chief democrat if he had submitted documents for the report against the judge, but his answer was followed by the accusation against her. Berisha claimed that Lala receives information from SPAK and uses it to create public perceptions about people before court proceedings are completed.
Despite the journalist’s insistence on getting a concrete answer, the debate shifted to personal accusations, with Berisha calling Lala one of the most abused journalists, while the latter defended her professional role and responsibility.
Berisha – Lala clash:
Sali Berisha: Klodiana Lala is a mercilessly abused person
Klodiana Lala, News24: Mr. Berisha, you always start by accusing the media, since you were asked as an accuser for the first time, did you submit documents that you made public here before us?
Sali Berisha: I submitted the documents I had in the lawsuit I filed.
Klodiana Lala, News24: Now since you accused the media of protecting certain people, can you tell us who the media is protecting?
Sali Berisha: Now, now I tell you. You left an impression, not the media, but Klodiana, she left an impression with some information that works like a siphon container of information…
Klodiana Lala, News24: Mr. Berisha, explain to us a little that when you burn, you always find a place to shoot?
Sali Berisha: Nothing burns me. I don’t care about anyone’s tricks. But you who remove yourself as an informant of these because you have data, who will give you the data that you extract?
Klodiana Lala, News24: I am a journalist, sir. You can also be one of those who inform me…
Sali Berisha: You never get information from me. Why do you never get information from me? That you are misused. That’s it. That’s all.
Klodiana Lala, News24: Mr. Berisha, go on, I’m used to attacks below the belt, especially from politics. Continue, Mr. Berisha, I am a journalist…
Sali Berisha: I’m telling you once again, you came for this purpose, but I’m telling you, you’re being misused. Abused to an extreme degree. Klodiana Lala is a person who is mercilessly abused. Those who abuse you are responsible, not me who respects journalists, but since you wanted it, I said it. You are one of the most misused journalists, lady, and neither Sali Berisha nor the opposition is responsible for you. Find responsibility yourself.
Klodiana Lala, News24: I am in front of public opinion and I am responsible for every word I say. The mud of old politics does not make me dirty.
Sali Berisha: Bravo, you are the new face of journalism.
Klodiana Lala, News4: I am, what’s up with him? Did you submit supporting documents today? Did you submit supporting documents?
At the end of the communication with the journalists, Berisha referred to the report filed together with Jamarbër Malltez against judge Irena Gjoka, for claims related to her self-declaration form.
The case of judge Irena Gjoka
Sali Berisha and Jamarbër Malltezi have reported to judge Irena Gjoka for falsifying the self-declaration form, claiming that she has not declared a previous conviction in Greece.
Irena Gjoka is the judge who signed the requests of the Special Prosecutor’s Office in the framework of the investigations for the “Partizani” file, where Sali Berisha and Jamarbër Malltezi are involved.
