Arlind Qori of "Lëvizjes Bashke" has written a long article on social networks, about the situation in which Erion Veliaj is, after the arrest of the directors of the Municipality of Tirana.

He says that Veliaj is in trouble and wants to be victimized in relation to the situation.

According to Arlind Qorri, Veliaj is having his worst day today as he doubts that the big boss, that is Edi Rama, will let him go.

"When it falls, and it will fall badly, no one will come to his side. Not even the owners of the televisions, whose mouths have been silenced by the construction permit", he says.

A little earlier, Erion Veliaj read a message on the screen that was intended to justify his innocence/ignorance about the corruption scandal of the main directors of the Municipality of Tirana. What impressed me, in the first place, was the protection of the work, according to him excellent, of his directors. In the beginning, he started to mention the liberation of spaces in the Lake Park. Seriously?! In the park within which building permits for towers are granted every year, where every parking lot is being prepared for the next tower? The other margarita singled out the achievements of Tirana's water supply system, of a city where tap water is not drinkable; that even the municipality itself buys it packaged for its own needs.

What compels the disfigured Veliaj to protect his corrupt friends? The sense of camaraderie?! I do not believe. Such types are devoid of any feeling. Through these evaluations, Erion Veliaj is conveying the indirect message: "I will not leave you in the mud. So don't tell either!"

In addition to Qato with his friends, Veliaj spent a part of his speech to support and praise Edi Rama. It is not surprising that the tighter the noose, the more pathetic the ditirambams about Rama. He pledges his loyalty, suspecting that the Big Boss might sacrifice him if he becomes too hot a potato. And since in the herd of hyenas no one can trust anyone to the end, through frequent parallels Veliaj equates his fate with Rama's. "As they are doing to me, they will do to you. So come out for me today, so I don't open the sack for you tomorrow!"

Like any evildoer in the day of trouble, Veliaj could not help but use the tactic of self-victimization. Several times he compared himself to the victims of the persecution of "Enver's time", and even went further in history, appearing as a Galilean of our days in front of the Inquisition. But who was the Inquisition in our days? Power? The clergy? The judiciary? No, those who hold the keys or straws: the accusers from the television studios. That is, the few themselves who are allowed to temporarily mention the feats of the most silent mayor of the media in the history of Albania on even fewer televisions.

It is precisely this "victim" of the Inquisition who proclaims himself, even in the name of his own party, as a strategic ally of the institutions of justice. Either his mouth escaped, or he is also ignorant of what is known: In a state of law, the powers are independent and the proper judiciary is not an ally of the executive power, but a watchdog of legality.

Erion Veliaj is having his worst day today. Not only that his friends of money and power are in prison, nor simply that his name has been mentioned as a co-owner of a hotel in Durrës. He is feeling the breath of the law behind his ear and doubts that the Big Boss will let him go. When he falls, and he will fall badly, no one will come to his side. Not even the owners of televisions whose mouths have been silenced with construction permits./CNA
