According to the recently published article by Andrew Higgins of the New York Times, titled \u201cA NATO Minnow Reels from Cyberattacks Linked to Iran\u201d, published on February 25th, 2023, Edi Rama the prime Minister of Albania has assured the Albanian nation and the international community that no political activities are done in the headquarters of the Mujahedin Khalq (MEK\/ PMOI).<\/p>\n
It is unlikely that the honorable Prime Minister is so unaware of the affairs inside his own country that he is nit able to know that not only political actions are taken by the MEK but also it commits all types of crimes and illegitimate acts in Albania and in response no one in the government expresses concern or sorrow.
\nThe increasing dissatisfaction of the Albanian nation and the entire European Union regarding the presence of the Cult of Rajavi in the European territory, as well as the hatred of the Iranian people and Iranian opposition groups towards the MEK, is undeniable. Also, the fact that the MEK violates the most basic rights of its own members has become a serious problem for the Albanian government.<\/p>\n
On the one side, Albania wants to distance itself from Maryam Rajavi and her notorious group in order to get closer to the EU. On the other side, it can not neglect the financial aids by Saudi Arabia and the intelligence and propaganda aid by Israel. The two governments that currently support the MEK.
\nMr. Edi Rama should be asked that the news of Maryam Rajavi\u2019s meeting with British Parliamentarians and his recent expression of support for the Iranian revolution which was published on the MEK\u2019s website was considered \u201cagricultural activity\u201d?<\/p>\n

\nAlbania has been the target of repeated digital assaults believed to be linked to its sheltering of an Iranian dissident group on its soil.<\/p>\n
\nInstead, the group has organized high-profile events in Albania aimed at rallying opposition to Tehran, including an annual gathering called the Free Iran World Summit, whose paid speakers have included prominent American supporters like Rudolph W. Giuliani, a former New York mayor and a onetime personal lawyer to former President Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n
