The President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has shaken up his cabinet and received international attention for the strong statements he made during a government meeting a few days ago.

In front of the entire cabinet, he asked the Attorney General to investigate all ministers and senior officials in his government for bribery and corruption.

Bukele was determined that he will not be remembered as the president who did not steal, but was surrounded by thieves. He emphasized that he will be remembered by the people of El Salvador as the president who did not steal himself and sent to prison all those who wanted to steal.

"All of us who are here are part of the executive, except for one person, the Attorney General. He is not part of the Executive Branch, but he is here for a very simple reason. I want to ask him publicly, to investigate all these who are sitting here retroactively and in the future. I think there should be no problem with that. There are several presidents, some in prison and some on the run, and most are remembered as thieves. I don't want to be remembered as a thief. So I don't steal because I don't want to be remembered as a thief or corrupt. But for a president, President Duarte, people say: The president was not a thief, but he surrounded himself with thieves, but there was a time when he offered hope to the people of El Salvador. I don't want to be a president who didn't steal but was surrounded by thieves. But I want to be remembered as a president who didn't steal and didn't let anyone steal, and the one who took anyone who stole to prison," he said.

The Prime Minister Edi Rama has almost the same attitude, who in the "Flasim" podcast where journalist Blendi Fevziu was invited emphasized that you cannot make 100 corrupt people of a government, where in fact there are only 10.

So Rama has completely distanced himself from the corrupt actions in his government, also for the affairs in the Municipality of Tirana, and apparently he sticks to the previous line that the responsibilities are personal. So the thieving politician must be identified and singled out. This is a clear message also for Erion Veliaj, which has already been released by the leading socialist.

"To call a thief to 100 people and then it turns out to be 10 people. This does not mean that the other 90 are the same, but nothing has come out yet", said Rama.

But what has Veliaj declared about the affairs and thefts that have taken place in the institution he has been leading for more than 8 years, the Municipality of Tirana?

Veliaj, even though some of his directors are in jail and accused of corruption and theft of the state, he never called them thieves. Even in a media appearance, he called them successful in their work and that under their leadership the Municipality of Tirana has moved forward.

He has called the Municipality of Tirana, a disciplined organization, a wise organization, but in fact SPAK's investigations have shown that there we are dealing with a "den of thieves" who do not get enough of stealing the money of poor Albanians. So a criminal organization that uses various schemes to steal from the citizens of Tirana.

Totally different from the president of El Salvador, Veliaj, has shown that he has no problem being surrounded by thieves, and continues to protect the thieves or his collaborators and leaders of his political campaigns. This attitude of his comes after he himself cooperated with the thieves.

"I am proud of the work, I am proud of the entire river united against us, that we have appreciated the work we have done and how much they have inspired the enemies and enemies of this city to come together like never before", said Veliaj.

Even after the call to SPAK, he calls the municipality he leads a disciplined organization, a wise organization.

Apparently, Veliaj has no problem being remembered as the Albanian mayor who has stolen the most, surrounded by his team of thieves. He protects the thieves only for one reason, because he is afraid of the truth./CNA
