President Urges SPAK To Take Actions on Data Publication

The President of Albania, Ilir Meta, addressed 11 questions to SPAK (Special Prosecution against Organized Crime and Corruption) regarding the database and the patrons of the Socialist Party.

Meta says that Rama has decided to spy on citizens to enter private life, even by blackmailing those who are with the opposition, in order to guarantee that they will vote for SP.

"Every honest Albanian will be in charge of the task, the protection of the vote. The protection of the vote is the self-defence of the homeland.

I address to the SPAK, raising some additional questions.

1. When was this database created, where is it stored, when was it populated with data in the SP?

2. Are these data the same as the data of the citizens who have submitted to the state in E-Albania?

3. Have we, as a state, spent millions of euros on tenders, on the database, and their preservation in a pristine way?

4. Let all entrepreneurs listen to me now, last month the citizens who exercise business activities, were forced to submit data to the BCC and MTEF. What are the guarantees already offered to these citizens, in terms of data administration?

5. Personally, Ilir Meta, President, I have never stated, or submitted anywhere, the data administration, the purposes of collecting this data and the calculation by the SP. When you did it for the President, what did you do to the citizens with the data?

6. Therefore, I want to ask you, Rama, as Prime Minister, with what right did you get the data, from ID, paternity, motherhood, date of birth, self-birth, apartment code, no. telephone, self-employment? With what courage have you set epithets, goals, to over 910 thousand citizens?

7. By what right have you set them up by a spy to enter their personal lives, to reveal their desires and troubles, to their intimate life, to blackmail them?

8. How do you discriminate by ethnicity, race, religion, or philosophy, economic status, education or parental affiliation?

9. Who will be held accountable if the data are used by the national and international mafia? I gave you evidence of how it was done in Macedonia, it was accepted by the authorities, with citizens in the Municipality of Korça and Pustec, and even from Dibra, and it could have happened in many municipalities.

10. Do you think that with what you have done you have opened the door to cybercrime and identity theft?

11. Do you think that by extracting the data of the people of justice, they are in charge of maintaining security, you have extracted them naked, in the face of organized crime, domestic and international, and non-hostile countries, especially now on the verge of elections?

I ask the SPAK to urgently start the verifications, starting from the incumbent Prime Minister Rama, and the head of the National Agency for Information Society,” Meta concluded.
