State party-support payments to Lëvizja Bashkë (Dec 2025 to Jul 2026)
Status: Register data read; legal basis of each transfer not verified; KQZ decisions and annual reports not yet opened.
Summary
The Open Spending Albania register lists three transfers 'per partite politike' to Lëvizja Bashkë totalling 11,038,365 lekë. Two are payments from the Central Election Commission (KQZ), described in the register as a post-election financial compensation (2,307,418 lekë, 31 Dec 2025) and as a rent compensation for the central hall (2,400,000 lekë, 29 Jul 2026). The third (6,330,947 lekë, 17 Apr 2026) is described as party support under a ministry letter and lists Lëvizja Bashkë itself as paying institution, which the register does not explain.

- Totals: 2025 = 2,307,418 lekë; 2026 = 8,730,947 lekë.

The record
Four lists kept apart on purpose: what is established, what is only alleged, what is still open, and what those concerned said.
What is proven (1)
Established by documents or official records, as stated in the research. A recorded charge or indictment proves only that the accusation was made.
- The State Treasury register records the three payments and their totals as listed above.
What is alleged (0)
Accusations, not findings. Those accused are presumed innocent.
Nothing recorded in this list.
Open questions (3)
- What decision of the KSHZ and the Ministry of Finance governs each row (KSHZ decision 1382 of 22 Sep 2025 is cited for the 2025 row; the ministry letter 2424/1 of 7 Apr 2026 for the April row)?
- Is the 'rent compensation' row a party transfer or a payment for premises? The register's own description and category differ.
- Does the paying-institution label 'Lëvizja Bashkë (1040110)' on the April row reflect a data-entry error?
Responses (0)

Hypotheses
Possible explanations that connect this record with other findings. They are not findings; each lists the evidence for and against.
- Source label: Unverified
Qori or Lëvizja Bashkë serves Edi Rama or the Socialist Party (PS)
Partisan outlets are reported to describe the party as serving the government; those outlets were not located in searches, so the claim cannot be assessed. The record shows Qori attacking Rama repeatedly, which is evidence against the claim, unless a deal or a shared vote is found.
Evidence for
- Claims by partisan outlets (joq-albania.com, standard.al) that the party serves Rama or PS, as reported in the coordinator's lead; not located in searches, so not counted.
- The party's one parliamentary seat and state transfers come from the state budget, which the governing party controls; this is structural and is not evidence of alignment by itself.
Evidence against
- Qori calls for the government to be toppled and for early elections (Shqiptarja, 23 Feb 2026; News24, 9 Sep 2026).
- Qori says Rama answered him personally, mocking his glasses (Alfa Press, 4 Nov 2024; Qori's account, no Rama record found).
- Qori rejects deals between party leaders (News24, 9 Sep 2026).
- Source label: Under investigation
The 11,038,365 lekë are lawful state party-support and election-related payments, not a hidden foreign channel
The register describes the largest row as post-election compensation under a KSHZ decision, and the other rows as party support or rent compensation paid by the CEC. If the decisions and ministry letters cited match the payments, the transfers are state money and do not show a foreign source. The labelling problems in the register mean the classification is not yet settled.
Evidence for
- 2,307,418 lekë (31 Dec 2025) is described as post-election financial compensation under KSHZ decision 1382 of 22 Sep 2025, letter 159 of 10 Dec 2025 (Open Spending Albania).
- All three rows are categorised as 'Transferta per partite politike' (Open Spending Albania).
Evidence against
- The 17 Apr 2026 row (6,330,947 lekë) lists Lëvizja Bashkë as the paying institution, the same name as the payee; the register does not explain this.
- The 29 Jul 2026 row (2,400,000 lekë) is described as rent compensation for the central hall, which does not match the party-transfer category.
- The ministry letters (2424/1 of 7 Apr 2026; 11214/94 of 24 Jul 2026) and KSHZ decision 1382 were cited in the register but not reviewed.
