Sali Berisha thinks that DP with its denunciations took Erion Veliaj out of the political scene, while he doubts that Prime Minister Rama released the mayor of Tirana to protect himself.
"Here we are today, we are united, we are with the DP flag, we are accompanying Erion Veliaj to the last residence of politics and we will accompany Edi Rama in the next elections. This is also an extremely important victory, because the chief prosecutor was against us, and if Edi Rama released Erion Veliaj, he released him to protect himself, which he would never accept. And in the last few days, he committed the shameful act to announce the political end of Erion Veliaj, he called Belind Këlliçin, the man who, in your name, on behalf of the citizens of Tirana, made a public claim to Erion Veliaj. He discovered the 100% model of the theft with 5D, he discovered, together with other DP deputies, the arsonist affair, an affair which is in itself the ugliest monument of the government's cruelty towards the citizens, and to make a little noise the nailing that he did Erion Veliajt called him to ask him about the slander of Erion Veliajt, about the diploma."
On the other hand, the DP chairman explained how Belind Këlliçi managed to take a picture with the newly elected American President Donald Trump.
"Since Erion Veliaj himself says that he does not have a degree, Belindi should not have a degree either, while Belindi has the most excellent degree from the university where he studied. Since 2 American citizens, one Albanian-American, the other American, have been sentenced for Rama, 4 and 5 years in prison for the 70,000 photo, now where did the photo with President Donald Trump and Belind Kelliçi come from. In fact, that photo is to his credit, because that photo was taken without a single penny, it was taken as a result of the volunteering that Belind Këlliçi bravely undertook to convince Albanians to vote for Donald Trump in Michigan, and I congratulate him on this occasion."
