Veliaj's dismissal, DP, Nisma Thurje and Lëvizja Bashke lend a hand to Edi Rama

The Democratic Party has relieved Edi Rama of his worries about whether or not he will secure the votes to dismiss Erion Veliaj. The Tirana City Council has not yet started discussions on his dismissal, and despite the accusations, the DP councilors have a priori agreed that the decision should be put to a vote.

Ilda Zhulali, Genci Gjokutaj, Dorian Teliti and others have expressed that the dismissal should have been made earlier.

" The decision you brought today is late and incomplete. It is incomplete because Veliaj should be dismissed for violating the law, for the incinerator; a work that was never built ," said Zhulali.

" I will vote for it with both hands. My vote is in favor ," said Dorian Teliti.

Endri Shabani from Nisma Thurje and Mirela Ruko from Lëvizja Bashke were also in the same line.

But if we look at the numbers in the council, lining them up against Veliaj helps Rama achieve his goal. The Socialist Party has 34 members in the council, and three of them did not participate. One vote against is enough, and Veliaj is not dismissed, if the opposition members had boycotted the vote.
