Numerous sources and voices from within the institutions speak of a lasting intimate relationship between Ms. Hysenaj and the mayor himself, Armando Subashi.
In Fier, you no longer need to study public administration to understand how the corrupt municipality of this city functions, it is enough to study the personal relationships of the mayor. What started as an investigation into abuse of office and lack of fiscalization in underground parking has turned into an official soap opera, where the main roles are not played by the administration experts, but by the Subashi-Hysenaj couple.
According to the investigations conducted and the measures executed by the police, Adela Hysenaj, former director of Taxes and Urban Planning at the Fier Municipality and its former deputy mayor, has been placed under "house arrest" for abuse of office and illegal influence over public officials.
But more than a legal issue, this story has become a manual on how local government is used for personal and sentimental interests. Numerous sources and voices from within the institutions speak of a lasting intimate relationship between Ms. Hysenaj and the mayor himself, Armando Subashi.
A connection that is not simply private, it has influenced employment, leadership positions, favorable decisions for private entities, and has even put public coffers at risk.
Because when the mayor is torn between duty and love, the one closest to him wins. And in this case, love takes with it the tender, the tax, and the institutional silence.
Instead of establishing a transparent taxation system for underground parking, we have a loss of 40 million lek that was never collected. And that's not all. Tax cuts for "selected" businesses, dubious benefits, and a completely degraded climate in the local administration.
But perhaps more scandalous than the violations themselves is the silence that has surrounded this relationship. In a country where a school security guard must declare any relatives with a conflict of interest, the mayor publicly embraces his office manager without any legal or moral consequences.
And while the citizens of Fier tighten their belts, the municipality spends taxes to maintain a system built on personal proximity and emotional support.
This is no longer a story of mere corruption, it is the triumph of emotional clientelism over public service. A municipality governed by the heart, not by the law. And a city that pays the bill for the emotions that are distributed in the offices of power as institutional decisions.
In the end, the question is no longer whether a violation occurred. The question is, has anything been left unviolated in this relationship with power? And most tragically, will there be accountability, or will they simply say it was “a personal matter”?
In Fier, perhaps for the first time in the history of the administration, love has more power than the law. And this is a story that cannot end with a "happy ending", but with punishment and institutional cleansing. If justice still has a voice.
The question that naturally arises is whether Adela Hysenaj has committed actions without the approval and knowledge of Mayor Armando Subashi, or whether he has been a participant or aware of these violations, without a full investigation into his role and knowledge, it cannot be understood whether responsibility is shared by the heads of the Fier Municipality or whether the scandal is only the fruit of individual actions.
Subashi's love, as it turns out, is not just a matter of the heart, it is also a matter of taxes, tenders and public influence. In a normal country, such a relationship between the head of the institution and the subordinate would lead to resignation, internal investigation and a complete cleaning of the structure. But in Fier, on the contrary, everything has been kept quiet, while citizens pay the bill for a closeness that has gone beyond any institutional control.
The Municipality of Fier is no longer simply a local institution, it is a scene where private feeling is transformed into public influence and where the law is undone in the face of "special" relationships./ In-front.org
