AK Deputy Berisha Criticizes Proposed Asset Confiscation Law
Pristina – Deputy Bekë Berisha of AK (AAK) has strongly criticized the initial concept of a law proposing the confiscation of assets, describing it as propagandist and populist. Addressing Justice Minister Donika Gërvalla, Berisha questioned the motivations behind the legislation, alleging it seeks to instill fear within the citizenry. Berisha directly challenged Gërvalla, referencing historical figures Enver Hoxha and Sali Berisha (Sali Zyba) in his argument, stating that the law evokes comparisons to past attempts to seize private property.
He announced his intention to vote against the State Privatization Project Law, asserting this action is a deliberate demonstration of resistance against what he perceives as manipulative propaganda. “I want to be clear that the minister who has arrived in Kosovo is not intimidated,” Berisha stated. “This legislation is a tactic employed close to election time, aimed at exploiting public sentiment regarding funds such as the children’s funds.” He emphasized that the proposed confiscation would be attempted, highlighting the proximity of upcoming elections.
Berisha’s comments suggest a strategic move to counter what he believes is a deliberate attempt to influence public opinion and mobilize support for a particular political agenda. The debate surrounding the law continues to center on concerns about potential overreach and the impact on citizens’ rights.
