"Edi Rama made fun of Erion Velina", Ahmetaj: He put him in prison for show

Former Deputy Prime Minister Arben Ahmetaj has made another strong political statement, this time describing Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj as a direct victim of Prime Minister Edi Rama. During the interview on Syri TV, Ahmetaj openly stated that Rama was the one who sent Veliaj to prison, not for justice, but for spectacle and political calculation.

-Erion Veliaj says Rama put me in prison.

Ahmetaj: Rama has put him in jail. Yes. Erion Velina, I'm sorry I'll come back here. Erion Veliaj is a victim of Rama. And he has lied to him continuously to make a spectacle of arresting him in the office. Edi Rama has mocked Erion Velina and has publicly degraded him on purpose. For statistics, to get rid of him and if you look at why he put him in jail, it has nothing to do with the deposit. Because he keeps...

-That the deposit belongs to Rama.

Ahmetaj: Oh, the deposit shouldn't be tampered with, because it's returned to Erion Veliaj, he says to him, "I did this for you." And if you see it, they release the assets of X and Y.
