What do the poll data hide that Edi Rama doesn't like?
By order of Edi Rama, Blendi Sulaj has been appointed to the position of deputy mayor of Tirana, with delegation of territory and urban development.
The decision to appoint Blendi Sulaj, as well as 3 others, is essentially illegal, as according to the provisions on local government, the deputy mayor is appointed by the mayor of Tirana, to be part of his executive in managing daily affairs.
Legally, the deputy mayor does not have a decision-making role, just as the mayor cannot make decisions, since all decisions are made by the Municipal Council, which approves the Budget, sets taxes, and approves regulations for managing affairs in the territory.
The mayor issues orders and instructions precisely to implement the decisions made by the Municipal Council.
The deputy mayor has no role, except for delegations according to sectors designated by the mayor, in implementing written or oral orders or instructions.
The appointment of Blendi Sulaj, as well as the other three deputy mayors, is practically illegitimate. Since they - the deputy mayors, can only be appointed by an initialed and protocoled order from the mayor, who legally is Erion Veliaj.
The power of attorney granted by Veliaj, so that in his absence, one of the deputy mayors would lead the daily work of the municipality, only concerns a few specific tasks.
Which means signing employee pay slips, signing off on the transfer of operating funds for expenses that have been determined in the budget, or emergency work related to the movement of the daily administrative structure.
Anduela Ristani, who is a deputy mayor, has no legal authority to make appointments, dismissals, or change the structure of the institution that she simply commands, not represents.
To do this, an order from the mayor is required, and no such legal step can be taken without the mayor's signature and seal.
Practically, all the replacements made in the directorates under the Tirana municipality, whether in the municipal police, UKT or other enterprises, are all illegal. More than that, they represent an institutional coup, which can be easily rejected, even by the Administrative Court, without having to go to the Constitutional Court.
But the Constitutional Court could be the final gateway to clearly issuing a binding ruling for this serious violation. In order to set the legal system in motion, a request from Mayor Veliaj, or even a group of citizens, would be needed.
If the latter happens, the competent court would again have to ask the acting mayor whether he signed these moves or not.
If Veliaj were telling the truth, meaning that he did not authorize any of these movements, then in addition to overturning all decisions, those who caused this coup could be held accountable.
Meanwhile, to come to the appointment of Blendi Sulaj, until recently he was part of the Democratic Party, namely in the structures of its Youth Forum. A structure that has long led the protests in front of Tirana City Hall, with Belind Këlliçi and Adriana Kalana.
But Sulaj was not really seen at these meetings, as with the arrival of Sali Berisha, he left and joined Lulzim Basha's group. For whom he organized the youth forum and the branch of Unit 9 in Tirana, where he also held several meetings, when Luli appeared with the famous Zelenskiy shirt.
Meanwhile, unexpectedly, in March of this year, Sulaj posted on his social media page a poster of the Socialist Party with a five-fingered hand, which was also the main image of Edi Rama.
No explanation has been given for this Pindaric leap, but the fact is that Sulaj was part of the open list of candidates for deputies of the Socialist Party in the Tirana district.
Unlike the "Vlora democrats" who became propaganda fuel for the SP campaign, the "Tirana democrats" were not mentioned at all.
Because it seems that Edi Rama has left it for later, for the Tirana campaign, where it seems that he wants to fill Veliaj's void with that of the renegades of Sali Berisha and Lulzim Basha.
For a long time, the majority, through their media connections, has banned any popularity polls for public figures in the country, which were conducted periodically every 6 months.
Meanwhile, since Erion Veliaj's arrest, none of these surveys have been made public, even though it is learned that they are conducted every month, and there is sufficient data to draft a report.
What do these data that Edi Rama does not like hide? The sources of the Pamphlet talk about two main data, the first that considers Veliaj's arrest as related to Rama and the second that the mayor's popularity has not fallen. It is the same people who hate or oppose him, all from the opposition side. The majority of socialists have the same sympathy, even a group that belongs to the gray electorate. This is precisely the data that gives Rama anxiety, as he sees that among the citizens and voters of the majority, there is an unchanged perception of Veliaj. Which means that the bite he took has not stuck, so it is difficult for him to eat it completely.
On the other hand, to stir up trouble, he brings in a "democrat-socialist" to sell his movement as strategic to expand the electorate's reach. But only in words, because as the last elections showed, the SP and the democrat Sulaj himself have not received a single right-wing vote. / Pamphlet
