Prime Minister Edi Rama has attacked 'Birn', a media outlet that had previously spoken about the arrest of Tirana Mayor Erion Veliaj, accusing it of brutally taking out of context the reaction that the Head of Government had made through the Press Office.
More specifically, it concerns the title of a reaction by the Prime Minister, which mentioned the Special Prosecution Office.
“SPAK has gone off the rails,” was the first part of BIRN’s headline, which seems to have irritated the Head of Government, perhaps also because it could be interpreted as a public attack he is making on the Special Prosecution Office. But in his reaction, Rama said that “we are faced with a case that creates reasonable suspicion of an investigation off the constitutional tracks and a detention in violation of democratic standards.”
Edi Rama's reaction
This tower is from a group called Birn, which claims to fight for the truth and in the meantime brutally takes out of context the response of the Prime Minister's press office! And now this false headline is being spread everywhere, and then it will be said that he said that ...
This above is the crazy world we live in. While this below is the press office's statement in response to Birn's question about whether Erjon Veliaj will be fired:

???? Apparently you did not follow the address that the Prime Minister made to the arrest of the mayor of Tirana, where we are in completely different conditions from all previous cases.
First, because we do not have a concrete corruption case for which there is an indictment, we are facing a voluminous novel about the excavations carried out in the life of him and his wife. So, in essence, we are facing a case that creates reasonable suspicion of an investigation outside the constitutional tracks and a detention in violation of democratic standards. But it is still too early to draw conclusions, so we reserve the right to take time.
Second, the five-year stance of the Socialist Party and the Prime Minister not to make any comments on any specific case has changed with yesterday's dismissal of the mayor of the capital, to lock him up in a cell without trial and also locking his wife, the mother of a six-year-old son, in the house.
This extremely problematic fact for the entire capital, not just for the mayor as a party in the process, but also for us as guarantors of the Justice Reform and at the same time of contracts with citizens at the central and local levels, even more so for the metropolis of Albania, requires very serious reflection.
And finally, we would be very grateful to you and any media outlet that, instead of simply reading the detective novel of the indictment, would shed light on the evidence that supports or not the thread of those nearly 400 pages.
In conclusion, the answer is that not only will the mayor of Tirana not be dismissed from office, but his suspension has given rise to the duty for us to continue to be steadfast guarantors of justice, promoting as much transparency as possible to get to the truth. Whatever it may be.
