Sali Berisha told the media outside the Parliament that Erion Veliaj's thefts and favors are incomparable to those of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The DP leader mentioned the public funds taken by Rama's cronies, whom he called the "shark" of tenders.
"The thefts and favors that Erion Veliaj has had with construction permits are incomparable to the thefts and favors that Edi Rama has obtained with construction permits. Indeed, Arbri, Erion's brother, is a thief like his older brother, but he is no less a crook. Edi Rama's crook is a shark, many times Arbri's in tenders. He has transformed AKSHI into the Rama family's garden. Indeed, Rama is trying at all costs to shut down the parliament's microphones, because that would be where all the data would come out that shows that Erion Veliaj is a slanderous copy of Rama. Edi Rama is in all aspects a thief many times Erion Veliaj. It is true that Veliaj has done great favors to Arbri, but he has done even greater favors to Rama-Ols," Berisha said, writes A2.
"Erion Veliaj, whom they are now trying to exonerate, for whom they have attacked with all their ferocity, those who decided to arrest him, meanwhile today Edi Rama was talking about torture. But if anyone has been publicly tortured in the history of Albania and the communist dictatorship, the former president, former prime minister, former speaker of parliament Ilir Meta has been publicly tortured on Rama's orders. Whereas, according to Edi Rama, Erion Veliaj has been imprisoned illegally, unconstitutionally and all this with the only problem that, Velica's wardrobe is very similar to Ramica's wardrobe. That the thefts and favors that Erion Veliaj has had with the construction permits, are incomparable with the thefts and favors that Edi Rama has taken out with the construction permits. It is true that those 500 euros smell of drug trafficking, but they were also moldy, but it is true that Xibraka has definitively ruined Olsin before the Albanian and international public opinion and Rama. It is true that Lali Vjedhësi has traveled by charter, but the truth is that he has traveled 10 times less than Rama. So Rama has traveled by charter 10 times more and those charters have all been accompanied by building permits. It is true that Erion Veliaj has made trips, vacations, but detoxes like Edi Rama with a 10 thousand euro hotel have not been done by anyone else in Albania. So all of this has only one purpose, to avoid the similarity that Veliaj creates with Rama in front of the Albanian public", Berisha added. (A2 Televizion)
