Fredi Beleri: The rule of law does not work in Albania, the government conducts

Fredi Beleri, elected mayor of Himar Municipality

Fredi Beleri, the elected head of the municipality of Himara, in an interview for Sky radio in Greece, said that the rule of law in Albania does not work.

" On December 4, after 6 months of obstacles, my request will be executed in the special court whether I will swear or not. The law is clear, when someone has not been convicted and the decision has not taken a final form, he can swear. For the same crime I am in custody, while two other mayors are on duty at the moment there is video and evidence for the other two cases. A single witness admitted that he took a bribe of 7000 euros, while the police director of Himara was promoted "- said the elected mayor of Himara

During the interview, he also touched on the political current affairs, where he mentioned the opposition's action while emphasizing that the opposition cannot perform its duties because there is a "witch hunt" in the parliament.

" The opposition cannot perform its duties in the Parliament, there is a witch hunt by the Albanian government, anyone who is not liked by Rama is persecuted at any time. There is no equality", said Beleri.

Beleri did not spare the ironies towards Prime Minister Rama as he called him "spoiled" and also mentioned the departure of 1 million Albanians from the country.

" Rama crosses other countries and is seen as pro-European and modern, while 1 million Albanians have left the country. Many Albanian media support Greece's position. Those who support Mr. Rama are very few and they are targeted," said Fredi Beleri.

Fredi Beleri is in custody in Durrës prison after he was arrested 2 days before the May 15 elections on charges of vote buying. Despite the fact that he was in the cell, he managed to get enough votes to be elected as the mayor of Himare. In the interview with the Greek media, Beleri said that he is innocent and that he enjoys all the love of Himariots and Greeks./ CNA
