Democratic councilors in the Tirana municipality, Genc Gjokutaj and Enriketa Papa, spoke in favor of dismissing Erion Veliaj, but according to them, he should have been heard first.
Gjokutaj explained that the Democrats are in favor of this proposal, but with different motives than the Socialists.
The lawyer added that Veliaj is a unique case where he is not allowed to come and speak, to present arguments at the municipal council meeting.
"From a legal point of view, it is not point c of article 62. Mr. Veliaj is not absent due to his own will, he is arrested and charged with a criminal offense. It does not affect his mandate. The public interest obliges us to make this opportunity.
Let's leave it to the Prime Minister, the architect of this parade, to choose according to the law and let Veliaj exercise his right, as he said, to fight with the court and not the council.
Let's look at the reasons he will use. It is a unique case that a mayor is in these conditions. I want to point out that you will try to relativize Veliaj's position. The respect for the mayor is so great that you did not accept him to come and speak. It is on behalf of the acting mayor and not Veliaj. Our vote against is in line with yours but differs radically in content.
"You vote for a political game, to finish things with the Tirana municipality. Our vote against is for another new municipality. Our vote for the proposal has nothing in common with your vote ," said Gjokutaj.
Meanwhile, councilor Enriketa Papa stated that the secretary of the Municipal Council cannot speak on behalf of the councilors, referring to the written replies he has made, where despite the fact that Veliaj's participation was not put to the vote, the secretary told him to send his claims in writing.
Even if not physically, the Pope said that Veliaj should be heard even online, while he asked the socialist advisors why they are afraid of Veliaj's words.
"It 's not a game that doesn't work, the secretary shouldn't speak on behalf of the council, we haven't been asked, we haven't met, there have been several requests to convene the presidency since the news came out that the council meeting would be held. Today is the famous Sunday, it's the opportunity online to listen to the mayor, to set the precedent to listen to him. Why are we afraid? We have all the possibilities ," said the Pope.
