Balliu: Veliaj takes citizens' taxes to the ghost incinerator, and SP deputies

The coordinator for Tirana in DP, Klevis Balliu, in a statement to the media, said that the mayor Erion Veliaj takes a part of citizens' taxes to the ghost incinerator, the rest to SP deputies.

STATEMENT OF THE REGIONAL COORDINATOR OF TIRANA, KLEVIS BALLIU:

The chief thief of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, knows no limit to his thefts and frauds. Although citizens pay hundreds of millions of euros through the unconstitutional education infrastructure tax, that money does not go to education and schools, but is distributed to friends of the government.

A part goes to corrupt associates, such as the Tirana incinerator that does not exist, and the rest is shared with the deputies of the Socialist Party and their families.

Dajti Park 07, a company owned by the family members of the socialist deputy of Tirana, Xhemal Qefalia, from 2014 to 2023 has benefited from 1998 transactions with a total value of 21.8 billion ALL.

This company has changed its name twice, like most of the SP deputies, going from Qefalia shpk, as it was first registered in 1999, to Vllaznia shpk in 2006. From 2016, it is known as Dajti Park 07.

The Democratic Party has previously denounced the tenders won by Dajti Park 07 with the owner QEFALITE or the tenderers. Today we will make public another affair of Erjon Veliajt with Qefalita.

It is precisely the tender with object: Reconstruction of the united high school "Ymer Lala" Surrel.

7 bidders participated in this procedure and all of them were disqualified, except for the predetermined winner, which also included the Qefalive company with 99% of the limit value.

So Erjon Veliaj has decided that a part of the education taxes goes to the non-existent incinerator and a part to the private businesses of the families of socialist deputies to share the money with them.

It must be said that Qefalia's millionaire contracts are not with foreign or private companies, but with tendered public institutions, often without prior announcement.

While Erjon Veliaj is being investigated for several corrupt affairs, the thefts in the municipality do not stop and he continues to travel freely even abroad while he is being investigated for very serious crimes.

Allowing Veliaj to be investigated at large, continuing his duties as UN, is like investigating a murderer and allowing him to live in his witness's house.

The Democratic Party calls on the law enforcement institutions to take urgent steps for these flagrant thefts of EVs and other thieves in the parliament.

Real justice would not arrest whistleblowers, but would arrest violators of the law and thieves of Albanian citizens' money. Against the thefts and the palaces that act as renaissance, to get Erion Veliaj out of the Municipality taken by theft, we meet again on Tuesday at 11 o'clock.
