The 323-day deception: Erion Veliaj and Mero Baze still fail to produce the

Today marks 323 days since the arrested mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, and his media soldier, Mero Baze, have not released the document signed by Ols Dado, who, according to their claims, requested an addition to the construction permit, nor the refusal signed by the mayor to the request made by the prosecutor.

323 days ago, namely on August 18, 2025, Erion Veliaj addressed the court with a document with 175 points on 77 unsigned pages to declare the investigations against the mayor, who is in Durrës prison cells with 13 charges for several serious criminal offenses, invalid.

Today, 323 days have passed and Erion Veliaj and Mero Baze have not yet published the document they claimed with the signature of prosecutor Ols Dado for an addition to the permitted portion, nor the rejection of this request with the signature of Erion Veliaj. (The request does not exist, nor the rejection, just like the Tirana incinerator)

In point 135, it is stated that prosecutor Ols Dado obtained a building permit from the Municipality of Tirana and then requested an addition to the permit, which was refused.

While in point 136 of the document without a seal and signature, Erion Veliaj treats this as a matter of "revenge" on the part of prosecutor Ols Dado, because, according to him, he was not granted a construction permit for the addition after he made a request.

Why doesn't Erion Veliaj issue the document with Ols Dado's signature and the refusal with his own signature?

On the other hand, his servant, Mero Baze, says that, according to him, the investigation against Veliaj is being insistently requested by a prosecutor, who months ago had a personal conflict with him, regarding his requests for a construction permit outside the legal criteria that the municipality had.

" So, it is clear that we are dealing with an investigation insistently requested by a prosecutor, who months ago had a personal conflict with him, regarding his requests for a construction permit outside the legal criteria that the municipality had, which was not realized ," says Mero Baze, who serves as a tool of Mayor Erion Veliaj.

Why doesn't Mero Baze confirm this? Where is the document with Ols Dado's signature and the refusal signed by Erion Veliaj? Why doesn't he produce it?

323 days later, Veliaj and Mero Baze's claims have no basis, as they have neither the document with the prosecutor's signature who, according to them, requested the additional fee, nor the refusal document with the mayor's signature, which states that Ols Dado is "revenge" on him for this reason./ CNA
