The Mayor of Tirana has reacted through a long post on social networks, after the actions carried out by the prosecutors of the Special Prosecution and the agents of the National Bureau of Investigation against him and his family members.
According to Veliaj, SPAK did not have a court decision to enter his apartment. "On the morning of December 6, my wife, found at home alone with our son, calls me after the special prosecution team knocked on the door of our apartment. Of course, we shared without hesitation the conviction that we should be completely transparent with our knockers", writes Veliaj. "Despite the fact that there was a court decision to enter the house and plus an unpleasant situation for the whole neighborhood where we have lived for 12 years, in a building built 15+ years ago (under which they had gathered with a notice, by whomever , the media loudspeakers, which were once placed in the milk queue before the investigative team itself arrived), my wife has been fully cooperative and transparent with the investigative team, for every at their request, she even accompanied them herself, either to her office or to her parents' house".
Attacking the chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, whom he calls "the last communist hyena in Europe", Veliaj repeated the term "kolgeg" for SPAK prosecutors, which he first used after leaving the building of the Special Prosecutor's Office where he had been summoned .
"This is our difference: We treat justice institutions as colleagues and citizens, the opposition considers them thugs and traitors. This is also the big difference, which makes me feel very good in front of those who have trusted me and supported me all these years, from Edi Rama the first, to the friends of the party forums, and the citizens of Tirana, who today live in a European city, in one of the most important metropolises in the region. For me, SPAK is a constitutional institution of my country and I am totally available for the investigation, convinced that, in the end, the truth will triumph. I am equally convinced of my right and full of hope in the professionalism and independence of this constitutional institution", writes Veliaj.
