A day after accusing five members of the Socialist Party of vote buying, the Democratic candidate for Lezha, Gjin Gjoni, has been reported to the police for defamation.
Lezha Police have referred the materials to the Prosecutor's Office, initiating proceedings in a free state for Gjoni, after the people he accused of vote buying - Denis Pervathi, Eraldo Smaçi, Paulin Gjergji, Rigels Nicaj and Emirjan Lazri - have denounced him to the blue uniforms.
" The Lezha Police Commissariat services referred the materials to the Prosecutor's Office, where the proceedings were initiated in a free state, for the criminal offense of "Defamation", for citizen Gj. Gj., 55 years old, resident of Lezha, candidate for deputy of the political entity "Democratic Party", after citizens DP, EL, ES, P. Gj. and RN (representatives and sympathizers of the political entity "Socialist Party") have reported that the 55-year-old has published on the social network "Facebook", a post through which he defames that 5 citizens are implicated in vote buying and voter intimidation ", the police announced.
John yesterday denounced that the aforementioned officials are intimidating citizens and buying votes on behalf of the left-wing majority.
JOHN'S DENOUNCEMENT:
Public denunciation: Electoral criminals have been activated – Justice must act urgently!
As the election date approaches, elements are increasingly openly appearing that are trying to distort the will of citizens through vote buying. I publicly call on SPAK and the justice authorities to act immediately against these individuals, to avoid clashes and tensions that may arise. We will not allow democracy to be trampled on – anyone who attempts to tamper with the free vote will face us!
People from the Socialist Party itself inform me that these are some of the names that are part of the efforts to buy votes and intimidate citizens:
• Denis Pervathi – Director of Taxes at the Municipality of Lezha is operating in Kolsh
• Eraldo Smaçi – Director of IVMT in the Municipality of Lezha is operating in Zejme
• Paulin Gjergji – Director of Emergencies at the Municipality of Lezha is operating in Balldre
• Rigels Nicaj – Socialist Party official operating in Ishull-Lezha
• Fred Pervathi – Ambulance driver operating in Manati
• Agim Prendi – SP official operating in Zejme
• Emirjan Lazri – Director of the Health Inspectorate operating in Dajç
These individuals and others that we will denounce with voice and image in the coming days must be investigated without delay and brought to justice, as we are determined that the will of the citizens will not be alienated as has happened in past elections. (A2 Televizion)
