Aldor Nini of "Acromax" is known differently as the stalker of women who is under accusation from the Prosecutor's Office of Tirana, or even as the stalker of the media. ( Read here )

Aldor Nini is the man who misuses the tools and spaces of digital platforms for his personal and political interests. With his company "Acromax", which is a collaborator and partner with many of the important "online" networks, he attacks the media for the interests of the clientele by claiming copyright.

The same thing that he has done with many media, Aldor Nini has recently also done with CNA. He has been put in the service of the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and has reported news and chronicles on our social networks. ( Read here )

This attack on CNA has been strongly condemned by politics, but also by the Albanian Media Council.

In an interview for CNA TV, the head of the Albanian Media Council, Koloreto Cukali, denounced a few days ago that "Acromax" has "targeted" the media several times, to censor reports that conflict with political interests. ( Read here )

"This is the old story with 'Acromax', which in the name of copyright protection, de facto censors different media at certain times, in relation to certain news. The problem lies in those political parties who have made contracts for the protection of copyright. I don't understand, what can a political party stand for? A political party is public property, it relies on public money. Every statement of the prime minister, every statement of a mayor or party leader. One of the reasons constantly given for censorship on YouTube is because it is a television image. No! When the prime minister makes a public statement, despite the fact that he makes it in a private entity, that statement is public", he said on June 11.

Cukali emphasized that Aldor Nini has wrongfully blocked CNA's news and has acted as a pure censorship tool in the service of the clientele. ( Read here )

"I was very impressed. You made a news story about something said on a television station without cutting any video from that program. This is news, there is no copyright infringement. De facto, it has acted purely as a tool of censorship and the suspicion goes that it has gone to the service of the people who were affected by that news", emphasized the chairman of the Albanian Media Council.

The same position was held by the lawyer Adriana Kalaja, in an interview given to CNA TV on June 12. ( Read here )

Kalaja said that censorship is directly related to the publication of news that does not suit the government.

"Censorship is related to the fact that the truth you give hurts the mayor and the Prime Minister. If there is a media that is one of the first with facts and evidence that has denounced the incinerators and recently the affair of the '5D' company, it is CNA and for this news there can never be a block through 'Acromax', all the more, as I said, any agreement made with a public institution is the obligation of this public institution to become transparent. We want to know that what is the agreement, when copyright is violated by the publication of news or various denunciations", she said.

The lawyer also denounced the service of Aldor Nini with the company "Acromax" to Erion Veliaj. ( Read here )

She emphasized that she found that Nini and Acromax "censor news that focuses on criticism, denunciations and giving true facts about the way the Tirana Municipality management functions".

In support of the CNA, the vice-president of the Democratic Party, Luciano Boçi, came out. In an interview for CNA TV on June 20, Boçi said that the activity of "Acromax" is abusive.

He described Aldor Nin's company as government propaganda puppets to block truth-telling media. ( Read here )

"'Acromax' is a puppet of the government's propaganda. It is a German company that has made contracts with the Albanian government, but also with a large part of televisions allegedly on copyright, but all political attacks are hidden behind it that are done to the opposition and the opposition media, the media that broadcast the truth, the media that testify about the affairs and the massive corruption that happened in Albania. Even the activity of 'Acromax' is very suspicious, it has been criticized by 'Reporters without Borders'. It has blocked the activity of many media that are critical of the government, as is the case of CNA. Its attacks are not just blocking, but also filtering instead, to censor the media and free speech. I claim that all the media that are hit by 'Acromax', start court cases against this company. I think it should be held accountable as a company that hides its income in Albania, but also that carries out such a censorship war denounced by the institutions that protect the work of journalists and the freedom of journalists", he said.

The vice-president of the DP, Luciano Boçi, emphasized, among other things, that for years the opposition has opposed the way of functioning of "Acromax" even in the Media Commission.

All these statements come at a time when international reports show that media freedom in Albania has deteriorated. However, CNA will not submit to any attack and attempt to silence the truth, but will continue to inform the public with transparency and impartiality./ CNA
