Rama on Veliaj: The lack of leadership in Tirana Municipality, an unprecedented experiment with serious consequences

Prime Minister Edi Rama has spoken about the situation that has emerged in Tirana Municipality following the absence of Mayor Erion Veliaj, who is in prison. According to Rama, this situation constitutes a “social experiment” that has caused serious consequences for the capital.

Rama said that Tirana Municipality had been “beheaded,” arguing that such a situation had caused significant damage, particularly to families still waiting for solutions following the earthquake.

“Ever since Tirana Municipality was beheaded, for reasons that are known and for non-reasons that are not known, I believe that the first and most innocent victims of this unprecedented decapitation in the history of the EU and of the European countries that belong to the Council of Europe are…

There are two Strasbourg cases, and Albania’s case is far more serious than those.

The removal of the capital’s head and the social, legal, political and economic experiment of running the capital without a head have created many victims, who have paid colossal costs. The most affected social group in Tirana is the families waiting to be handed the key because they are earthquake victims. A serious and completely failed social experiment,” Rama declared.
