New elections in Himare? Rama: An unprecedented case, the procedure is like this

Prime Minister Edi Rama in an interview given today for 'Kathemerini' spoke about the Beleri issue. He was asked by the journalist if elections will be held again in Himare.                       

Journalist: Mr. Prime Minister, what are you going to do? Will you announce new elections in Himare?

"First, let's say that in Albania it is not the government that announces elections, but the President. Anyway, the procedure is like this, if the elected mayor does not appear after 90 days of being sworn in, then the government must release him from office and install a technical mayor until the new elections are held, which will be announced by the President. I asked my lawyers to look into the matter and I don't know the outcome. But it seems to me that this case is special, there is no precedent. So, my instinct tells me, my psychological reaction tells me that maybe we should wait for the trial. So we can't hold a new election until he's found guilty or not guilty."

He says that until the court decides there is a possibility that no action will be taken.

"But this is not a legal position, it is exactly what I think should be done from the moment we have no precedents. Yes, I think we can do one or the other, based on the legal office report, I believe we have the option to not act until the court decides. In this case we give everyone a chance to consider the matter to the end. If this is not legally possible, we will have to release him from office."/ CNA
