The stinging irony at the prison door/ From "Erion Veliaj,

An ironic, mocking act was carried out by the youth of Durrës. CNA reported that the youth of Durrës went to the Durrës Penitentiary Institution, where the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, is being held, to console him for the loss of former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was assassinated by the Americans and Israelis.

The young people made fun of him by using photos of Mayor Veliaj and a message on their poster where they wrote "condolences" and "may your father rest in peace."

Ora News, through an article, has shown that the irony of these young people from Durrës may have been triggered by a denunciation of the late journalist Kastriot Myftaraj made about 10 years ago in the media.

In 2016, he published several articles raising suspicions that Veliaj could be the illegitimate son of the then-president of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

"The current Iranian President, Ahmadinejad, visited Albania in 1979, reportedly in March. Ahmadinejad has been to various cities in Albania, in Tirana, Durrës, Berat.

According to the records, he also conducted military training in Albania, as many foreigners did in Albania at the time.

"The special thing in Ahmadinejad's case is that he was also trained by a female Albanian officer," Myftaraj wrote at the time, in an article that is still available on portals today.

He later addressed the same theory in his famous show "Ju flet Moska" broadcast on "Ora News".

"Mahmoud Ahmadinejad entered Albania with the name Kajan Ahmedi? As you know, Veliaj named his son Kajan. It has been covered a lot in the media. He has given explanations. He says that there is a village in Elbasan with this name. Kajan is the name of the village and not the person. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was in Albania in the year that Erion Veliaj was born" - said Myftaraj.

And it seems that with yesterday's act, the young people of Durrës turned back on Erion Veliaj's tendency to hit below the belt, as was his comment regarding Kastriot Myftaraj's suicide.

When the mayor was speaking before the Tirana City Council about fines, which he said were coming from portals, he released the "poison" about the death of Kastriot Myftaraj, who had tragically passed away just a few days earlier by jumping from a balcony.

"You're going to open a bar in the garbage? Open it! The garbage won't go away because you open a bar and you pay fines for bars. And you've found the wrong municipality because in this case of fines, do whatever you want, even jump off the balcony if you want, as is happening with this fake news journalism," said Veliaj.

Anyone who has consistently followed the mayor's political vocabulary has a clear profile of a politician who had no code of honor towards the weak. What stood out in Veliaj's statement at the time was the lack of respect for the Death Code that Albanians have preserved for centuries.

Myftaraj's hostility towards Erion Veliaj was strong, even ending up at the doors of the courts, and Veliaj's statement that made irony with the tragic death of a man (even an opponent) at that time would arouse quite a few reactions.

Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha made a lengthy response at the time, calling it unacceptable.

"In an amoral act and extreme cynicism typical of heartless people, Erion Veliaj expresses joy over Kastriot's death. But Erion Veliaj's joy and Edi Rama's lawsuit against a man who is said to have had depression problems in the past have raised doubts about the true cause of his death, a cause which the late Kastriot takes with him to the grave. I condemn with the utmost severity the persecution of Kastriot Myftaraj for life and death, as an amoral, inhuman act by the Rama-Veliaj duo," Berisha wrote, among other things.

But why was Veliaj's anger towards his opponents even when they left this life?

Perhaps we can find the answer precisely in this article by Kastriot Myftaraj!

“ERION VELIAJ, SON OF AHMEDINEJAD” - BY KASTRIOT MYFTARAJ

Erion Veliaj, on Blendi Fevziu's "Opinion" show, when debating the "Pango" issue, expressed the view that even though wiretapping is a violation of privacy from a legal perspective, he (Erioni), when it comes to public interests, accepts this violation of the law, because as Erioni said, with an ironic smile, a phrase from Sorosian image manuals: "If you don't break the law, you don't get the Pulitzer Prize."

I also share the view of the young politician Veliaj and I hope that Erioni will look in this direction at the expected investigation into who the current Iranian President, Ahmadinejad, has in Albania. On the websites of the Iranian opposition abroad, the news has been given that President Ahmadinejad, who visited Albania during the communist regime, in 1979, after the Islamic Revolution in Iran, has an illegal child in Albania who has become a prominent political figure in Albania. How true this is is not known, but it should be investigated. The data of the websites of the Iranian opposition abroad should be taken as true as the data of some foreign websites were taken in the case of Damir Fazlic, who, based on data with such an origin, was declared a Serbo-Bosnian and the nephew of the former head of the Serbian secret service, Stanisic.

So, the precedent exists and should be followed in the case of Iranian websites as well. The data provided on the Iranian opposition websites do not seem a priori unbelievable since it is known that the Albanian communist regime had good relations with the Islamic regime that came to power in Iran after the 1979 revolution. In this context, there have been frequent exchanges of mutual delegations between Albania and Iran. In this context, the current Iranian President, Ahmadinejad, also visited Albania in 1979, according to what is said in March. Ahmadinejad has been to various cities in Albania, in Tirana, Durrës, Berat. According to the data, he has also conducted military training in Albania, as many foreigners did in Albania at that time. The special thing in the case of Ahmadinejad is that he was also trained by a female Albanian officer.

One cannot help but feel proud, however, when an Albanian woman has trained a man like Ahmadinejad, who, regardless of everything else, cannot be denied that he is a brave man. This Albanian woman resembles an Amazon, an Eagle. Of course, the existence of a child of the Iranian President in Albania is something that justifies an investigation, violating the privacy of this enigmatic Iranian-Albanian, especially since he is supposed to be a well-known political figure in Albania. In the world, such investigations are well-known and have even been carried out against such political personalities as Tony Blair, who was discovered not to be the natural son of his parents, but because they had found him after he was abandoned by his natural parents, a couple of traveling actors.

Blair later admitted this himself. Why shouldn't the mysterious Albanian politician follow his example, especially since Ahmadinejad is now giving signs that he wants to cooperate with the West and especially with the USA. To begin the investigation, I have obtained a book about Ahmadinejad published in Great Britain, where there are many photographs of Ahmadinejad's youth, when he was 30 years old, as much as his supposed son is today in Albania. In my investigation I will act as a disciple of Erion Veliaj, violating privacy for public interests. The method I have chosen is to compare the photograph of young Albanian politicians, aged 30, with that of President Ahmadinejad.

Then I will leave it to the public to judge who Ahmadinejad's son is. The politician who turns out to resemble Ahmadinejad has the right to provide explanations before further deductions are made, based on facts that are not the place to mention in this article. This method is no less valid than the interception of "Fiks fare", it is even more serious, because the photographic resemblance can be faked, just like audio recordings, while it is a question of comparing the photograph found in a book published by a very serious publishing house in Great Britain where Erion Veliaj claims to have received a master's degree (or should we say he has become a master's degree) and the photograph of a person who is active in Albanian politics today. It would be good if Erion Veliaj were also involved in this investigation because he, with the connections he has abroad, where he is presented, among other things, as a journalist, could win the "Pulitzer" Prize. I, with sincere professional altruism, would pass on all the information I have so that he could continue the investigation.

Who knows, it could happen that Ahmadinejad's illegitimate son is in Berisha's party, and this will greatly increase Erion Veliaj's credit with the left. But, beyond the irony, now that we are with the impressions of Aida Shtino's and Rudina Magjisari's shows, where there have been several cases where children have met their fathers whom they did not know, it is not surprising that the highlight of these shows is the meeting of an Albanian politician with the Iranian President. Of course, the Iranian President, who was a young man at the time, does not have to have any embarrassment for this youthful adventure, because such things happen at this age in every country in the world. This story does not violate his dignity. Otherwise, this story may violate the reputation of his Albanian son, but it is assumed that he is so emancipated from prejudices that he will create a new standard of emancipation in Albanian society.
