Greek Parare” for Albanian acquaintances are not conspiracy

The major conspiracy that has erupted over Greek Foreign Ministry financing for the Albanian press is a banality that shows more the level of corruption in the Greek government than any compromise of the Albanian press.

It's about a secret Greek Foreign Ministry fund that is available to its policies in the region. This fund has existed since that ministry existed and has been used regularly.

In the 1990s, it was an influential fund, as it was used to finance Albanian politicians and journalists to play with Athens politics. It has also been used for scholarships and specialisations of a small number of Albanian intellectuals who conducted an interview for Greek culture and language.

But Greece's importance for Albania in the 1990s was enormous and its methods of influence were much easier.

27 years later it is more a corruption story of Greek officials with their funds than an Albanian press corruption. The Greek Foreign Ministry has acted more or less as the major Greek companies in Albania, which became schools of corruption in terms of marketing. First they gave ads to the Albanian press directly, then their CEOs (directors) each created an advertising company with their trusted people, and they gave it through the company to hold 20 to 40 percent, until they finally managed to steal all the advertising money. And of course most went bankrupt.

Three of the four Greek banks have been sold and bought by Albanians. Mobile companies also. Internal corruption and efforts to steal and money advertising made them the model of abuse in Albania's private sector. Today, one of Greece's biggest advertising companies in Albania, is more easily interrupting LSI's chess ads than you were swearing Cypras.

The same story clearly is that of Greek Foreign Ministry funds. The debate in the Greek government is not why the Albanian, or Macedonian press is financed, as those money, for that job, is, but why the money is not well spent. This means, without wanting to name names, which money is kept in a tight circle of the foreign minister, which, like CEO of Greek banks or mobile companies in Albania, created a traffic network to recover that money itself. And as far as information has come from Greek state offices, it's about some anonymous portals without even impact on Greek or Albanian, which are driven by people who either work around the Greek Embassy, or are people directly associated with senior officials in Athens.

So it is simply a matter of corruption and the Greek state, not a matter of Albanian press corruption.

Albanian press is much more corrupt than this story. Most Albanian portals are paid in black, either by corrupt Albanian officials or by the Albanian mafia, which is far worse than Greece's money.

The Russian Foreign Ministry, published several months ago its complaint that the funds spent on the Albanian press, (and that set them by names), had resulted in inefficient. But there was no noise in the Albanian press. You seemed normal. For Greece it's a noise, not that they're anti-Greek patriots, but that no one has taken money and they think of who it is, you know, <x0...

That the Albanian press is simply collecting fines. It's worse than being financed by Greece or Russia. And if there should be any debate on this issue, let it be for informal financing in the Albanian press. Let someone explain to us where they find the money portal or unregistered editors who work in black, without advertising, and who keep up to ten people at work. Greece doesn't pay them, calm down! Not even Russia. Albanians pay for an invisible world for the state and society.

Greece has lost its importance and for more its influence on the Albanian press, for many reasons. Greece has become insignificant to the Albanian press, not only it is not a source of revenue for it, but that Greece itself has no interest in getting involved in this story. Greece's influence on the Albanian press can't be achieved by blogs of the Vorioepiri type, which can't even affect Greeks.

Greece has lost its importance and because of the people who roam for its causes. Some individuals who wave the Greek flag in Albania insult Greece twice as they misuse it for their interests. For example, politicians like Nernex are made from antigreque, in Greek, depending on the Himara arrangement plan. Others have used Greece's funds to personally enrich themselves in order to regulate scholarships or homes.

Greece lacks its heroes in Albania, as unfortunately, it has selected them as if we were choosing them, by our own hand, mainly villains. And to cover their corrupt stories, they act as if they represent in Albania, “The Golden Agim” rather than normal Greek politics. And as such, they cannot influence -- not even the Greeks of Albania, not Albanians anymore.

Greece's funding of the press would be to consider, should it affect the main media in the country, and if it were to create sustainable marketing mechanisms for Albanian press to have some kind of dependence on them. It was then to be considered, as the Albanian press, which has no power to collect black money and killer, is not reddened by Greece as well. But relax, that Greece simply does not need Albanian press, and the Albanian press does not need Greece.

All it says is a scheme of money thefts by the Greeks themselves. We look like brothers at this point. We don't have to fight!
