Dinamo president Adrian Bardhi went viral with footage from the dressing room after the 4-0 win over Auda, a triumph that took them to the Conference League play-offs for the first time. Footage of him “showing” the bag of money to the players has gone viral from Tirana to Italy to Argentina.
And this is precisely what the Socialist Party MP, Erion Braçe, has reacted to. The latter calls this gesture by Bardhi as “a disgrace”, taking issue with the detail of the money in the black bag. Among other things, he emphasizes that after these images, he will have a hard time convincing the Minister of Finance about the sponsorship law in Albanian sports, mainly football.
ERION BRAÇE’S REACTION:
Watch the video; This is to send a name from Albania to Argentina. And return it with money in black bags in hand. Diario.Ole is the media in Argentina and is shooting these Albanian images all over the world! Listen; I have been against a sponsorship law for a long time, with a focus on sports and especially football.
Given the reality of the black money circulating in sports, especially football. These images prove to me that I was right, but also that the finance ministers who opposed it were right. Because I am a football fan – everyone knows this, seeing closely the financial difficulties of football clubs that are heading towards ruin, not towards development, seeing that the successes of the national team are not helping football at any level, last November I proposed a law on sports sponsorship!
I changed my stance, nooooo! The Minister of Finance did not! After these scenes, I really don’t know if I can convince the Minister of Finance to accept that law; Its essence is that a part of the profits of every company should go to sports, but in a legal way and in transparent and clean sports balance sheets; Not in black bags and throwing them at the players’ faces, just like those drunks at weddings or in tallavaje environments! This doesn’t happen anywhere else! Honestly, I don’t know what the president of Dinamo does in another life, so beyond football, I don’t care at all;
But I hope it doesn’t deal with economics, otherwise it will put law enforcement agencies in great difficulty in the fiscal field. Finally, I have a question for the Albanian Football Association: Does UEFA Financial Fair Play work for you as an institution that organizes football competitions?! This one with black bags is not like that, neither for national competitions nor for international competitions, like the one from UEFA in the video!
