Head of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party (DP), Enkeljed Alibeaj, addressed this Thursday 30 questions to Prime Minister Edi Rama regarding the 'McGonigal' case.

In his speech from the floor of the Assembly, Alibeaj said that Rama has been hiding from the Assembly since he refused to give an answer to the "McGonigal" case, which according to him has shaken the public opinion quite a bit.

"It's been two months since the country's prime minister has been hiding from the Assembly, for one of the issues that has affected Albanians, not only the Albanian justice but also the American one. It's making noise so the audience can't hear you. I asked for the third time, it was an interpellation, for the Prime Minister to come before the Assembly. McGonidal received $225,000.

The information and data are provided by the office of the Albanian Prime Minister. Neza and Ducka had interests in granting licenses to oil companies in Albania. Neza and Ducka have become shareholders of a law firm. The people involved had three goals. Were you aware that Ducka and Neza had interests in the field of oil exploitation? What measures did you take, Mr. Prime Minister, after the court decided that the permission to use 3 oil tankers was in violation?

In November 2017 who was on the date with you and McGonigal? Did you give information to Mr. McGonigal about another party? Which official gave him the information", stated Alibeaj.
