The head of the LZHK, former MP Dashamir Shehi, stated that Prime Minister Edi Rama, through the Municipal Council meeting to dismiss Mayor Erion Veliaj, is taking the 'ball' away from himself and passing it to the Council.
Shehi said that if he wanted to dismiss Veliaj, Rama could do so himself, through a meeting of the Council of Ministers.
He also said that within the Socialist Party there has been a strong clash of clans, with Prime Minister Edi Rama's clan trying to completely eliminate Veliaj's.
"I would say that this work of Erion Veliaj should have taken a different form in time. Regarding procedural issues, there may have been illegal things. But this is a political topic, it is not a matter of procedures.
Even Veliaj himself has chosen the wrong path to defend himself, because he will defend himself through procedures. This is a political topic, he is desperate to clash with the other clan that brought him down, to defend himself if he is clean, to denounce these others for what they have done. Because he knows that he was there. Or he is part of this game himself and I believe that is the case.
Veliaj should have resigned on time. I would have resigned for myself. If you enter a judicial procedure, only in Albania do politicians not leave, they continue their position, they continue to use it to defend themselves. When in fact you should resign from these political functions. When the trial is over then you regain both morality and function. They do not give up power, because they have become rich with power.
Then Rama, with these procedures he has done, takes them away from himself and passes them on to the Municipal Council. Rama, to say that this is a collegial issue, passed them on to the Council. Meanwhile, the Council had no way of voting differently, it was crazy. These people have chosen Omerta, the mafia code. So they do not speak out, to protect their families and people, "said Shehi, among other things, in 'Ditari i Pasdites'.
