According to Ndreca, Gogu went to see Veliaj on Edi Rama’s instructions to deliver a message.
“I’m here on the prime minister’s instructions. I want to convey exactly what he told me:
‘This is the last time I’m addressing you as your political father. From today onward, I will address you only as prime minister.
—Surrender your mandate immediately.
—Delegate power to the people I name.
—Drop lawyer Plarent Ndreca.
Otherwise, I will transfer you to Prison 302, direct SPAK to open an investigation into undermining the constitutional order, and let you rot in prison.’”
Veliaj responded immediately, telling the justice minister: “Even if I spend 100 years in prison, I will not bring shame on my children.” /G.Panorama
