Analyst Kreshnik Spahiu said that if Fredi Beleri is mandated as a member of the European Parliament, the union would show that it acts with two standards.
He recalled how the European Union has persistently requested the decriminalization law in Albania. But, if Beleri, who has been convicted by Albanian justice, officially takes office in the EP, "we no longer have the moral right to tell the convicted that they cannot compete in the elections", he said.
" The Albanian government and the parliament should contact the European Union to clarify the standard that the European Parliament will have. Will they accept as an MEP a person convicted of electoral crime? If the EU opens the practice that mandates a convicted person, then Albania should apologize and remove the decriminalization law. What does it mean that Albania follows a law required by the EU and the EU itself does not respect it. If Beleri will be mandated, we have no moral right to tell the convicted persons in Albania that you cannot be elected because you have served prison ", he said as a guest on "Top Story".
Speaking as a lawyer, Spahiu said that the sentence given to Beler and the former mayor of Kukës, Safet Gjici, could be lighter.
" We have two mayors sentenced to prison within 48 hours. I ask the audience a question. Is it an equal scale of justice, that Gjici is sentenced to 3 years in prison and Beleri to 2 years for having sex easier than the American president. For me, both are harsh punishments. For me, they should have been lower, because the imprisonment has had its effect. The law stipulates that the execution by prison is removed and left with probation for criminal offenses within 5 years. Beleri is nearing the end of his 1.5 year sentence. If it was done like this, he would be put on probation for four years.
This is with two standards, because before the elections, if you listen to all the candidates, there is no one who does not promise work, offers money, etc., etc. for votes , "he added.
