Part of the blame for Frede Beler's imprisonment two days before voting for mayor of Himara, Fatos Lubonja also placed it on the Greek state, which today is in an effort to free the minority mayor.
But for Lubonja, Greeks are up too late, because as Albania's neighbours, they should be more informed of what is happening in our country, and as such, they could not support reform in justice with the same gullibility as other European countries.
Greece “has become partners together with other Western countries in installing an authoritarian regime from which not only the Greek minority suffers, but also all Albanians” writes Lubonja in his footnote that you can read full below:
“ish-Albanian Strasbourg Judge Ledi Bianku, facing justice reform in Poland with justice reform in Albania, has noted the European Commission's double standards regarding these two reforms. That is because while both the purpose and effect is the same: getting justice from the executive, paradoxically, towards that Polish Commission has reacted with strong criticism, (the end of the EU has imposed sanctions on Poland), while the Albanian has handled it and continues to address it as a success story by promoting its initiator Prime Minister Rama.
Many Albanians suffering at the expense of new Albanian justice ask the question: how could Westerners treat us against their fundamental principles and values of the rule of law?
It is a question that could well be raised by the Greek state as an old EU member, especially after the arrest in Himara two days before Greek minority candidate Beler's election a flagrant example of both the procedures that have been followed and the lack of evidence of executive use of justice to eliminate political opponents.
The question raised for the Greek state is: why should Greece, which as a neighbouring state with Albania, be much more informed, have waited for the case to raise its voice about the lack of rule of law in Albania, while until today, it has become partners together with other Western countries in installing an authoritarian regime that does not suffer only the Greek minority, but also all Albanians?”
