Greek media: Fredi Beleri secures permission to be sworn in as an MEP

The Greek media write that Fredi Beleri has managed to secure permission from the Albanian authorities to physically participate in his oath as a member of the European Parliament.

According to Protothema, Beleri has received permission to go to Strasbourg and is expected to travel to Athens on Monday morning, July 15.

"From Athens he will go to Strasbourg. "Beleri is expected to arrive in Eleftherios Venizelos at 12:30," writes Protothema.

We remind you that Fredi Beleri is one of the MEPs of New Democracy, the party of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in the European Parliament, part of the EPP grouping.

A few days ago, he made a request to the General Directorate of Prisons to allow his physical participation in the EP meeting, which will be held on July 15.

Beleri has been sentenced by the Appeal of GJKKO to 2 years of imprisonment on the charge of electoral corruption, after he was arrested by the police two days before the elections of May 14, 2023.

However, the arrest did not prevent Beleri from winning the Municipality of Himara, but he did not manage to exercise the duties of the mayor as he was not allowed by the Albanian judiciary to take an oath, as stipulated in the law, before the Municipal Council.

Beleri has already lost his function as the elected mayor due to the decriminalization law and on August 4 the partial elections will take place in the Municipality of Himara.
