The media has started to carry a song, that of the lawyers of the imprisoned mayor, Erion Veliaj, that the latter will make a name for himself in Strasbourg , that he is being dismissed unjustly, that the "Berisha" case is a precedent, that SPAK prosecutors have made a name for themselves with procedural violations, why does it not allow foreign lawyers when the law does not allow it, that is, the law for Erion is being violated, and so on.

Further, things are known, for 32 days CNA has exposed Erion Veliaj, Mero Bazen, his fraudulent collaborator, and several other media outlets and we will continue to expose them . Even for these above-mentioned nonsense that they will be famous in Strasbourg or for the dismissal that Edi Rama is making of Veliaj and the "Berisha" precedent.

First, Erion Veliaj has no business in Strasbourg because clearly the prosecutors have implemented the law, the courts have issued the decisions. In case the prosecutors want to make a mistake and violate the law or the judges themselves, it is enough to keep the situation on alert and the media attacks ordered by the Durrës prison to make them perfect in the procedure, to not make a single mistake and this is the good that Erion Veliaj has done for his case because perhaps by leaving them alone the prosecutors can make mistakes, because they are human after all.

There's no point in being in Strasbourg, at all, when he still hasn't told us where Ols Dado's document is that requests an extension to the building permit and its refusal, or who received the famous 2 million euros that he said in prison were given to him as an offer to get him out of his cell. There are many more, but we'll leave this part here.

Regarding the dismissal precedent

Dismissal from the Municipal Council is a clear legal instrument, the law defines it quite well and says “absence for more than three months”. The parties’ claim is with or without reason. That in the “Berisha” case, there is a precedent for the Assembly. Here too, they are throwing in the dust. They are throwing it in vain, first of all, for the case of “3 months with reason or without reason”. The law does not say with reason or without reason, which means: if you were absent for 3 months as mayor, you are dismissed by the Municipal Council and the Council of Ministers, which puts the seal on it. If the legislative body were to emphasize it with or without reason, there could be claims, but when it says more than 3 months, it is clear.

Law on Local Government, Article 62

The mayor and the “Berisha” precedent

Kryetari i bashkisë nuk është një deputet, nga 140. Pra, ku ndryshojnë rastet? Kryebashkiaku po mungoi më shumë se 3 muaj me apo pa arsye, a mund të ketë një precedent për shembull? Se ngeli në Alaskë, se shpërtheu një vullkan dhe s’ka avionë për 6 muaj nuk vjen dot. Bashkia e Tiranës do të rrinte pa kryebashkiak apo kjo quhet arsye, vullkani. E kanë arrestuar, e kanë futur në burg, ka vendime nga të gjitha nivelet e gjykatave.

Procedura e gjyqit mund të zgjasë dy vite ndoshta dhe më shumë, pasi praktikat ligjore dihen. Përse duhet ta mbajë ende kryeministri ose Partia Socialiste në detyrë Erion Veliajn, si përfaqësuesin e saj politik?! Kush do ta menaxhojë Tiranën, e cila po qelbet erë ditë pas dite?! Jo se ishte më e pastër kur ishte Veliaj, por situata po rëndohet edhe më shumë. Si mundet të jetë kaq karafil politik Erion Veliaj? Se dikush thoshte është ujk, është bishë, kafshë politike. Në fakt, qenka thjesht dhe vetëm një karafil politik dhe asgjë më shumë.

Në momentin që mblidhet institucioni më i lartë i një partie politike si Asambleja dhe vendos që të shkarkohet përfaqësuesi politik që është pikërisht Erion Veliaj, minimalisht duhet të kishte dhënë dorëheqjen me qytetari, por nuk është ai qytetar dhe nuk ka aq shumë kurajë sepse PS-ja e ka kandiduar PS-ja e largon, për shkak të rrethanave që kanë ndodhur. Partia Socialiste nuk mund të pranojë që të lërë zgjedhësit e saj dhe Tiranën me një milion banorë pa kryebashkiak, pa administrator. Këtu qëndron dhe diferenca me Sali Berishën, i cili është një nga 140 deputetë.

Është apo nuk është Saliu në Parlament, Parlamenti vazhdon punën. Ka tjetër qasje politike Parlamenti, se është ligjvënës, kurse kryetari i bashkisë është monokratik, që do të thotë, gjithçka kalon nga ai. Kur ai nuk është në detyrë, ka problem për të firmosur ndihmën ekonomike, për të firmosur strehimin, për të firmosur lejet, për të firmosur rrogat, për të firmosur tenderët dhe gjithçka tjetër. Kryetari i bashkisë është monokratik, Erion Veliaj është kryetari i bashkisë më të madhe të Shqipërisë dhe nuk është në detyrë prej 7 muajsh, kurse Sali Berisha ishte një nga 140 deputetë.

Tjetër deputeti, me apo pa arsye, tjetër kryebashkiaku, me apo pa arsye. Se çfarë kërkon Erion Veliaj tashmë është e qartë, ndoshta është fiks ajo që është shkruar nga imzot Noli, “Kolltukofagët”, asgjë më shumë sesa kaq. Kryebashkiaku i Tiranës mungon në detyrë dhe këshilli po e shkarkon, kryeministri, Këshilli i Ministrave, në fund do t’i vërë vulën. Ai si kryebashkiak nuk ka ardhur nga hiçi, por ka ardhur si një vullnet politik i Partisë Socialiste dhe Këshilli i Ministrave ka përgjegjësinë dhe nuk mund ta lërë Bashkinë e Tiranës pa drejtues.

Edi Rama dismissed Safet Gjici for nothing, because the latter could have claimed that those images could have been manipulated. He also dismissed Fatos Tushe of Lushnja, while he kept Erion Veliaj in office and extended his term, because Erion claims that he did not commit those acts. In fact, there are 13 charges, and to return to Strasbourg once again, what will he do with the criminal charges and the sentence that the court may give Erion Veliaj after 1-2 or 3 years in Strasbourg? What will he do with the "5D" file? What will he do with the corruption and scandals in the Municipality of Tirana?

The imprisoned mayor who wants to go to Strasbourg with a chair tied to his body. There is no connection between Erion Veliaj and Sali Berisha as cases. Absence of 3 months with or without reason, go home because Tirana needs an administrator, while Sali Berisha is one of 140 deputies and did not disrupt the work of the Parliament. In Strasbourg, Erion Veliaj has nothing to do with his criminal conviction and finally, the Council of Ministers has every right to dismiss him and give Tirana a pair of new elections and a competition to appoint a new administrator for the capital. In fact, whoever came should have been a new breath of fresh air for Tirana. There has never been anything worse than Veliaj./CNA

In another article by Mero Baze, who has been proven for 32 days now to be a public deceiver by CNA, he has listed several arguments, which he learned from Veliaj's lawyers, that the legal issue of the mayor of Tirana should now be resolved politically and for this, a bargain should be made with Erion Veliaj.

This, according to Mero Baze, is because Veliaj should go to Strasbourg as mayor to get priority. Otherwise, Mero Baze threatens that Veliaj's lawyers will take him to the Constitutional Court and a scandal will ensue.

Mero Baze writes that all legal arguments show us that the scales tip in favor of Veliaj:

"All legal arguments are such that in the legal battle between the Socialist Party and Erion Veliaj, the scales tip in Veliaj's favor."

And since they lean towards Erion Veliaj, Mero has put his "stamp" when he says that:

"This is the reason why the Socialists should avoid the legal battle and should find a political solution to avoid creating tension among the Socialist councilors of the Municipality of Tirana, whose vote in this case is simply wasted."

Further, he adds that there is a bargain to be commanded, to exercise functions from Erion:

"The fact that Edi Rama nominated Ogerta Manastirliu as a candidate for the Municipality of Tirana is a good thing, as it has raised the bar of political representation of the Socialist Party in Tirana. In this case, the most logical solution is for Ms. Manastirliu to be delegated as acting mayor in Tirana, from now on, and to exercise her functions as mayor delegated by Veliaj, until he finishes his legal battle."

And finally, Mero Baze tells us that Erion Veliaj provides many opportunities to accelerate the process.

So, in all the material written by him, it is clear: He deepens the clash with the prime minister. He tells him: "Go, make a deal with Erion Veliaj". The imprisoned mayor should go as a pasha to Strasbourg, that is, with a chair tied to his ass, where unfortunately, politically and publicly, Mero Baze has been licked.

Meanwhile, Edi Rama has made his decision, politically. In the Socialist Assembly, he dismissed the mayor of Tirana. Both legally and politically, there are only a few days left to show that Edi Rama cannot leave Tirana without a mayor, that he is happy to have Erioni make deals or Mero Baze continue to receive the "bites" that the prisoner in the Durrës prison gave him.

These are the notes that Mero Baze continues to write to deceive Albanians, when, in fact, his mask has already been torn off and he is left with the most disgusting face of the media in Albania.

The quarrel seems to be deepening and the bargain is being sought without stop by Mero Baze on behalf of Erion Veliaj, when, in fact, nothing more and nothing less, everything has already been resolved and very soon Tirana will have a new mayor, not the one Erion wants, but the one the socialists want and the citizens of Tirana want to vote for./CNA 

The second edition of the “Korça Serenights” festival kicks off in Korça tonight, an activity that aims to become an annual tradition for the city of serenades. The deputy mayor, Benila Themeli, emphasizes for Cna TV that this festival is an old dream of local institutions, which for almost two decades have sought to organize an event dedicated solely to this musical heritage. According to her, over the last two decades serenades have only been brought in the form of musical souvenirs or as a complementary part of other cultural activities. But now, with the “Korça Serenights” festival, the serenade has found a dedicated space, returning with dignity and with full organization by the Municipality of Korça.

"You know that for almost two decades, the municipality of Korça has had a dedicated approach to events and in this journey, one of our obstacles was the organization of a festival and an event dedicated to serenade. Because in Korça, in this increased influx of domestic and foreign tourists, those spots in the city that are never left without people and where it is difficult to find free seats, are places where serenades are sung on weekends. So, serenades are an identifying value of Korça and the last recordings were in the late 90s in a show organized by the local television of the city at that time. We have tried to serve those songs of poor quality in the form of souvenirs in these years, or to revive serenades as complementary parts of other activities, but we have not had an event for serenades. We have discussed it with many Korça creators, Pandi Laço, Adi Hila and the right moment had to come, last year, when one of the festivals The new event that was created was Korça Serenights and this year it comes to its second edition , totally conceived, followed and implemented by the municipality.

This edition will span three nights filled with music, exhibitions and emotions. The event opens with an exhibition of the guitars of Korça serenaders, set in a symbolic setting in the Old Bazaar, exactly where one of the scenes of the film “Confrontation” was filmed, with the great actor Pandi Raidhi. The guitars of well-known figures such as Ilia Vinjau, Gjergji Peleshi or Naum Turova, as well as other instruments that have been part of Korça families, will be exhibited to the public, bringing a connection between the past and the present.

"E fillojmë që natën e parë me një ekspozitë të kitarave të serenatistëve korçarë, ka mandolina të Korit Lira, kitara të serenatistëve si Ilia Vinjau, Gjergji Peleshi, Naum Tërova që nuk janë më, por edhe me kitara të personaliteteve të kulturës korçare si Vangjush Tushi, që nuk njihet si serenatist, por në shtëpinë e tij kishte një kitarë. Do të ketë shumë emocion mbrëmja e sotme sepse do të ketë familjarë të serenatistëve dhe është gjetur një lokacion shumë interesant, një dyqan në pazar që kujton një aktor korçar që ka krijuar personazhin e Pllaton Bubuqit në filmin "Përballimi", i madhi Pandi Raidhi. Në dyqanin e filmit ku Pllatoni kishte dyqanin e vet dhe këndonte këngën "Ta mbash mend sa të rrosh", aty do të ekspozohen kitarat e vjetra të Korçës. Është një gjetje për të lidhur të shkuarën me të sotmen e serenatës."

Në natën e dytë, skena do të zhvendoset përpara Liceut Francez, aty ku do të mblidhen grupet që ende e mbajnë gjallë serenatën në lokalet e qytetit. Emra si Jorgjeta Lalazi, Vaskë Niço dhe këngëtarë të tjerë do të performojnë këngë të dashura që çdo fundjavë i japin jetë Korçës.

"Do të vijojmë me natën e dytë te sheshi para Liceut Francez, atje do të mblidhen të këndojnë në një mbrëmje shumë të bukur, grupet që aktualisht këndojnë serenatë në Korçë. Jorgjeta Lalazi që vazhdon këndon, Vaskë Niço, e këngëtarë e grupe të tjera që performojnë nëpër lokalet e Korçës dhe çdo fundjavë mbajnë gjallë këngët e serenatës, shpirtin e saj."

 

 

Një nga momentet më të veçanta të këtij edicioni është pjesëmarrja e këngëtarit shkodran Frederik Ndoci. Ky bashkëpunim simbolizon lidhjen mes serenatave korçare dhe jareve shkodrane, dy vlera të mëdha të kulturës shqiptare. Organizatorët theksojnë se kjo është vetëm hapi i parë drejt një festivali të përbashkët mes dy qyteteve, që pritet të realizohet vitin e ardhshëm.

"Ku ka më bukur sesa në tre netë të dedikuara, të mblidhen në Korçë zërat më të mirë që nuk janë këtu. Kemi edhe një zë brilant nga Shkodra, Frederik Ndocin, në këtë edicion dhe jo pa qëllim, sepse komunikimi i Korçës dhe Shkodrës, serenatat tona dhe jaret shkodrane janë vlera identifikuese e krejt kulturës shqiptare. Me Frederikun kemi diskutuar që vitin e ardhshëm të bëjmë një festival serenate ku jaret shkodrane dhe serenatat tona do të jenë bashkë. Pra, vlerat tona të kulturës duhen promovuar e ngritur në nivel artistik, që të ruhen edhe në brezat e tjerë që do të vijnë më pas."

Mbrëmja gala do të kurorëzohet nën kujdesin e mjeshtrit Josif Minga, i cili ka përzgjedhur këngëtarët dhe ka realizuar të gjitha aranzhimet. Në skenë do të ngjitet Orkestra Simfonike e Forcave të Armatosura, duke e çuar serenatën në një nivel artistik të lartë. Për interpretimin e tyre janë zgjedhur emra të njohur të muzikës shqiptare, kryesisht korçarë, që do t’i japin jetë melodive tradicionale me një dimension të ri profesional.

"Under the extraordinary curation of master Josif Minga, who we are lucky to still have in Korça, there will be a gala evening where the orchestra will be the Armed Forces Symphony Orchestra and the songs are all arranged by the professor. He has chosen the singers, the songs, and we are talking about the most famous names in Albanian music, very well-known names mainly from Korça who will perform the serenades."

The Municipality of Korça is also considering turning the recordings from last year and this year's edition into musical souvenirs, which will be offered to visitors as a way to take home a piece of the city's spirit. This will serve as a promotion of cultural values ​​and as a way to preserve the serenades for future generations. According to Deputy Mayor Benila Themeli, "Korça Serenights" is not just a music festival, but a precious stone in the city's cultural necklace, uniting the past with the present and aiming to be an annual tourist and artistic attraction for Korça.

"This will be an evening of a very high level, everything will be recorded and we are thinking that the recordings of last year and this edition will be one of the souvenirs of Korça, where a visitor can receive a professionally arranged serenade recorded, interpreted at another professional level. The past and up to the value of today, this is the philosophy of this festival which will become an annual tradition for Korça as the serenade is a precious stone in the necklace of values ​​that we as Korça have."

The second edition of "Korça Serenights" brings three nights of exhibitions, concerts and a special gala, uniting Korça serenades with Albanian musical values. With the participation of local and foreign artists and the support of the Municipality of Korça, the festival aims to become an annual tradition, preserving the heritage and transforming the serenade into a cultural and tourist attraction for the city./ CNA
