Intrigues in the Municipality of Tirana / Sejamini: Paradox, subordinates gather

Analyst Neritan Sejamini, invited to the Opinion show with journalist Blendi Fevziu, analyzed the crisis in the Municipality of Tirana that came to light with the letter from two days ago where Mayor Erion Veliaj delegated Sara Goxhaj as mayor.

Sejamini said that a palace intrigue suddenly arose in the Municipality of Tirana after Veliaj attempted to delegate a trusted person, given that Anuela Ristani is a confidant of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The analyst said that Veliaj lost his mini-power because his power over the Tirana Municipality staff is now zero.

"Two deputy mayors, both chosen by Veliaj. Suddenly a moment is created, palace intrigue, Kadare would call this."

Mrs. Ristani is closest to Mr. Rama and has taken orders from Mr. Rama. Mr. Veliaj has tried to have a trusted person to take back control of the municipality, if not control, some influence, to be questioned. Today he is no longer even mayor, de facto! His political career ended the day he was isolated and Mr. Rama invited all Albanians to the square to see him off with political honors. De jure he is mayor, everyone in the municipality of Tirana knows that there is only one boss, the order that Mr. Veliaj can give, there is no one in the municipality who can implement it! His power over the staff is 0! And this is the paradox, that the mayor is elected, everyone else is staff.

He was deprived of his mini-power, that mini-power no longer exists. Today, they have learned that Mr. Veliaj cannot be heard by anyone! And if you look at the statement, there is a problem... He says there was no agreement among the staff, why does the staff give orders to Mr. Veliaj about who he decides?! Why does the staff decide on Mr. Veliaj's political decisions?! The management team is Veliaj, these are the staff. Can the subordinates gather and take the decisions to the boss", said Sejamini/ CNA
