Yesterday at midnight , a document bearing the mayor's signature, dated March 18, 2025, circulated in media editorial offices , which included the appointment of Sara Goxhaj , with protocol number 11273.

The document was quickly distributed to all media offices, without any doubt, with the comment that Erion Veliaj had signed the appointment of a new mayor.

Information also "leaked" from the Municipality of Tirana that the country's Prime Minister, Edi Rama, went to the municipality at midnight where he called the institution's leaders and demanded that the document be torn up.

There were also discussions with Sara Goxhaj and the municipality's legal director, Alban Dokushi.

Some media outlets report a clash between them, including Rama's statement that "leave, you have no business here anymore."

In fact, the move made by Mayor Veliaj is truly serious, as the prime minister himself had decided that Anuela Ristani would be in that position, while Erion Veliaj has signed the name of Sara Goxhaj, who is a loyalist of Erion Veliaj and a soldier in the full sense of the word throughout her entire space, as well as Alban Dokushi.

In fact, there seems to be a clash and tense actions that have made Veliaj's strong moves against Rama to place his trusted confidant and soldiers in charge of the municipality come to light.

The mayor seems to have refused to accept that the Municipality of Tirana be treated as an institution of citizens, as he perhaps considers it his private property and thinks he can run it from prison.

On the other hand, Prime Minister Rama seems clear and calm in his movements, as, apparently, the electoral effects and consequences after Veliaj's arrest for the Socialists seem to be almost zero.

Apparently the Prime Minister wants a more active governing municipality than an institution run by Veliaj in Durrës prison./ CNA
