Alimehmeti: Veliaj should be dismissed, Tirana should go to elections

The Chairman of the Municipal Councilors of the Democratic Party of Albania in the Municipality of Tirana, Ilir Alimehmeti, through a press statement has demanded the dismissal of Veliaj as soon as possible. Alimehmeti has requested that elections be held as soon as possible in the municipality of the capital to elect a new mayor. He also stated that Rama's protection of Veliaj was aimed at usurping local power by the Prime Minister.

"Yesterday we all saw the 'protection' of the former mayor, Erion Veliaj, by Prime Minister Edi Rama, and how this 'protection' actually had the purpose of seizing local power from the Prime Minister himself."

He openly declared that he would be the 'remote mayor of Tirana' in complete violation of the Constitution and every law in force in Albania or the West.

He also openly appointed the Deputy Mayor of Tirana, again in complete violation of the Constitution and every law in force. 

It is very clearly defined that the central government and local government are independent of each other and the determination of their leaders comes only through the vote and the representative bodies elected through it.

Very clearly, Law 139/2015, Article 7 states that: 'The representative body of the municipality is the Municipal Council.'

Very clearly, Article 54 of the same law states that: 'The Municipal Council protects and guarantees the public interest.' 

This means, very clearly, that the task in this case belongs to the President of the Municipal Council, Ms. Romina Kuko, who is silent, as well as the other 60 members of the Municipal Council elected by vote.

With this behavior, Edi Rama has not behaved as Prime Minister, nor even as the leader of a party, but as the leader of a Party-State, as he has done for a long time under the influence and continuous support of the two Soros.

Why is the Prime Minister behaving in this unconstitutional manner?

Because it is clear that the extortion of Tirana and its citizens was not carried out solely by the former mayor, Veliaj, in isolation, but with his blessing, support, and shared interest.

Because he is clear that the imprisonment of the Socialist Party's de facto number 2, Veliaj, is a strong blow to this party and its leader himself.

Because he is clear that he needs to calm the 'uprising' within his socialist camp after releasing the next number 2, as he did with the government's number 2, Ahmetaj.

Because he is clear that the political situation within the socialist camp is slipping out of control, three months before the parliamentary elections.

These actions are only in the interest of the Prime Minister himself and no one else.

We demand that the same standard be used that was used in the case of Elvis Roshi in Kavaja, Shukri Xhelili in Dibër, Safet Gjici in Kukës, Jorgo Goro in Himara, etc. For violations of a much lower magnitude than Veliaj, these former mayors have been dismissed or have been asked to resign, to pave the way for local elections, as defined by law.

Therefore, we demand, in accordance with the Constitution and the law, the dismissal of the former mayor of Tirana, and the solution to the problem created by the Rama-Veliaj duo through the free vote of the stolen citizens of Tirana.

Tirana needs strong, sustainable solutions and change. This solution is not offered by the Renaissance that brought about its clinical death.

"Tirana must be taken from the thieves and returned to the citizens!" declared Alimehmeti.
