Taulant Balla has called for an investigation into the leak of information from SPAK, while in the same appearance before reporters he downplayed claims about a “radar shutdown,” describing them as fake news. His statements come at a time when public debate is revolving more around fragments of information that have entered the public domain than around a full institutional clarification.
Balla’s comment on the investigation involving Vlora Hyseni
Speaking from the Presidency of the Assembly, the head of the Socialist Party parliamentary group commented on the latest developments regarding the arrest measure against former SHISH director Vlora Hyseni.
Balla said he chooses not to comment on people who are under investigation, maintaining the same line for other names involved in the political and media debates of recent days.
Political clash and the mention of Ergys Agasi
Asked whether Ergys Agasi had ever interfered in his work during the time he served as interior minister, Balla did not give a direct answer to the substance of the question.
Instead, he turned attention to Sali Berisha’s public statements and said he does not comment either on him or on people who, according to him, have problems with justice.
Balla’s version of the “radar shutdown”
Regarding the messages that have been mentioned publicly about a “radar shutdown,” Balla said they are fake news.
On this point as well, he insisted that he does not comment on specific case files, but added that justice should go to the end of the matter. This again leaves the public without a fuller explanation as to whether this is an untrue claim or an episode being used selectively in the debate.
Suspicions of an information leak from SPAK
Another point Balla focused on was what he presented as a leak of information from SPAK. According to him, this is a problematic dimension that should be verified.
He said he is confident that SPAK will investigate this aspect as well, thus raising another question about how investigative information is reaching the public before there is full and transparent communication from the institutions.
Balla’s statements produced more political positioning than clarity on the core issue: the investigation involving Vlora Hyseni, the claims circulating in public, and the standard by which sensitive information is being handled.
In the absence of a more detailed explanation from the responsible bodies, the debate remains dependent on official versions and political counter-versions.
