The affair of the century, that of the incinerators, which according to experts' estimates is worth around 1 billion euros, has led to the imprisonment of many officials, former ministers, heads of procurement commissions, other officials involved in the structures of the procedure or directors and others . In fact, there is a great public, legal and political debate.

Actually, let's do the math differently. We will pretend that Erion Veliaj is "innocent". He is not to blame for the incinerators. So, the incinerators do not blame the mayor of Tirana or the honest government of Edi Rama.
Let's look at some facts.
Who invented incinerators?
Was this a political will of the Prime Minister?
This was seen in the three cases in Elbasan, in Fieri and in Tirana, and in the defense in the investigative commission or in the later political approaches of Edi Rama, who said that if I were asked again, I would do the same actions.
It shows that the answer is yes.
But could the government itself do this process? In no way. What did he need? He needed the emergency. Who announced them? They announced the municipalities. Who made the requests? The municipalities did it. So, without the municipalities, the incinerators as a project of Edi Rama or the government, as a vision of the Renaissance, would not have been implemented.
But different from what happened in Elbasan and Fier.
In the first one we have a boiler with oil, in the second one an incinerator that is not finished and in Tirana it is different. The incinerator does not exist, nothing of it exists. Although, the company has received about 130 million euros both from the taxes of Albanian citizens and from the business.
Erion Veliaj appears in the media and says: yes, I have requested the government to have an incinerator in Tirana because it was an IFC project, it was more expensive than this incinerator that we requested.
In fact, the IFC project was not an incinerator but included the cleaning of Tirana plus the landfill and the costs were lower.
On the other hand, there is Erion Veliaj, who has his representatives as the mayor of Tirana, ie Taulant Tušen, in the committee where the procedure for the incinerator of Tirana was discussed, ie for the granting of the concession.
On the other hand, Taulant Tushe there says to avoid the Municipal Council. On the other hand, this "innocent" Erion Veliaj, how is it possible that he takes a letter to Alqi Bllakos and says we agree in principle?

How can he be innocent when he asked for it himself, agreed to it himself and avoided the Municipal Council himself or had his people, his representatives as mayor in the procedure.
The money goes from the state budget, from the government to the accounts of the Municipality of Tirana to be given to the incinerator of Tirana, the concession company behind which Mirel Mërtiri and Klodian Zoto hid. At least from 2019 until now, almost 5 years have been written about the Tirana incinerator, that it is not the Dutch, that it is not a foreign company, that the Albanians are hiding behind.
How is it possible? He didn't know Erion Veliaj, he didn't see, he didn't hear, he didn't read? Didn't Erion Veliaj go as "innocent" to the investigative parliamentary committee, which was done as it was done and did not speak and defend?
So, Erion Veliaj is "innocent". The one who made the request, the one who was in the procedure, the one who makes money payments, the one who signs contracts, his subordinates sign tens of millions of euros, money paid by citizens through the purchase of apartments or constructions in the capital.
He is the "innocent" in the history of the Tirana incinerator. Yes. Erion Veliaj is "innocent" only because of the fact that he is out for the incinerator affair, since he should be in prison precisely for his innocence, that of the fool who wants to sell it to the Albanians while he himself asked for it, himself signed it, he himself implemented the whole corrupt affair of the Tirana incinerator./ CNA
