In a lengthy reaction, the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who is currently in indefinite detention in Durrës prison, now facing 13 serious criminal charges, made a lengthy reaction yesterday on social media.
Beyond everything he says, CNA is analyzing his stance in detail.
First, he brought us a publication that you can read here , stating that he had been vetted at the age of 21.
The same language used by Illyrian Meta, Sali Berisha or Arben Ahmetaj.
In fact, Erion Veliaj does not have a 21-year vetting, you can read about what it means to have a vetting here.
-Is there a tolerance that has been shown to Erion Veliaj?
-What is the reason for not being vetted?
-Why is it not being investigated as a structured criminal group, as stated in his decision by the Appeals Judge of the Criminal Court of Kosovo, Engert Pëllumbi?
But we will analyze another fact in this article. Neither SPAK's mistakes, nor Erion's faults, nor anyone's responsibilities.
"If the investigation is over, why am I still being held in detention - away from my family and the city I serve? Would it make sense for me - the current Mayor of Tirana - to flee, when I have such close family, political and social ties to Tirana and have returned to Albania from abroad several times, knowing that I was the subject of this criminal investigation? Does it really make sense for me, as Mayor in my third term, to commit serious criminal offenses, while being on parole and knowing that I am under unprecedented surveillance and control?", writes Veliaj.
So, Erion Veliaj's logic is simple. With a court decision, you can be arrested, investigated, the moment you are charged you have to leave and go to the office. To go and continue working as mayor.
So, go to the same place where you signed the payment orders for Ajola.
Erion Veliaj has a problem with his chair, he has missed his chair. It is as obvious as the case in "Kolltukofagët" by Monsignor Fan Noli.
Below we are bringing you a part of "The Neck Eaters" so that people understand what we are dealing with.
“'Cultophages' are yellow worms with black heads that grow in the infected wounds of Albania in the process of decay, ticks that you can cut off, but not remove from the body, they bite and gnaw.
Herodotus tells us that in the naval battle of Salamis, an Athenian seized a Persian ship with his right hand and would not let go until it was cut off; then he seized it with his left hand; that was cut off as well; then he seized it with his teeth and would not let go until his head was cut off.
"If Herodotus were alive again, he would see that the Kolltucophagi are stronger than this legendary hero of ancient Greece. To free these Kolltucophagi from their cocoons, you have to cut off not only their hands and heads, but also their legs and bodies," says Bishop Noli.
Beyond this, beyond any prejudice, Erion Veliaj emphasizes that now that the charges have been dropped, he should not be kept in prison.
Could this high-ranking official, the mayor of Tirana, be so ignorant and illogical that with the logic that Erion Veliaj uses, even the guys from Dubai and the groups within "Sky Chat", "Encrochat" have taken the blame?
They have arrested them, the charges have been filed, now according to Veliaj's logic they should take them and release them without a court decision, without a court sentence, which could even say you are innocent.
This is the logic used by the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, who writes long messages about his chair from Durrës prison.
When he was in prison he said keep me without charges, now he says if charges come, get me out.
Let's release the guys from Dubai, let's release Erion too, what do we need the prosecution, the courts, the prisons, the justice system. This job is easy. You arrest them, the charges are ready, you go home because your job is done.
Because all the discussion and positions held together publicly can only be found in Erion Veliaj's format in this type of treatment or in Mero Baze's writings, nowhere else.
Because even the most incompetent lawyer, when you ask him and tell him someone has been arrested on 13 charges and has now been taken to court, the answer is quite simple, you have to wait for the court's decision or you can request a replacement measure if some circumstances have changed, but the prosecutor doesn't arrest you and release you because he investigated, filed charges, and took you to court and then you have to be taken out and go home.
This is Erion Veliaj. Just read his posts. We will break them down day by day so you can understand who the real him was beyond the facade and propaganda in the media./ CNA
