The political leader of the Democratic Party in Tirana, Belind Këlliçi, has commented on the latest political developments in the country, focusing on Mayor Veliaj's movements on social networks and the "5D File".

Invited to Syri TV, Këlliçi stated that Veliaj is using all these messages to pressure his own people and is making all these moves in the context of the latest decision-making process, which is the Supreme Court, the session of which is scheduled to be held on July 8.

Këlliçi has further leveled serious accusations against Minister Arbjan Mazniku, who, according to Këlliçi, signed for electoral roads where the municipality did the work and took 5D in money to buy votes.

Belind Këlliçi: Once again. So the road was paved with the asphalt of the Tirana municipality, with the employees of the Tirana municipality, with the machinery of the Tirana municipality and in the end when the road was finished, a tender was opened to start the road works, fictitiously. Which was taken by a fictitious company that only held the obligations to the state and returned the rest of the money in "cash". This was a scheme for 70 roads in Tirana. It returned the "cash" to the directors of 5D in Tirana to buy votes in the campaign. When the denunciation was made. We were accused, I was accused, it was called fraud. I was taken to court for defamation, etc. etc.. But apparently, I immediately reported this affair . I filed a report with SPAK. Strangely, but today time has shown with their stubborn determination, SPAK removed it from its side and delegated this matter to the Tirana prosecutor's office for incompetence. He removed the hot potato, even though it is corruption of high-level officials. So even though I had reported the mayor of Tirana, he removed it from himself. And for the sake of truth after two years. I was at the prosecutor's office a few months ago to give my testimony again on this issue and I am returning it to SPAK because apparently they had indications and reached the signature of the head of the contracting authority, which in this case is apparently Arbjan Mazniku. And this issue is in SPAK and this is what Erion Veliaj's post on TikTok refers to, as far as I understand, where he says that sooner or later karma will strike.

Question: Do you have a comment on what is happening and what messages Erion Veliaj is giving from his cell?

Belind Këlliçi: It is clear. His last messages, until before the date of the Supreme Court and from the wiretaps that have been published in the media. Even all the political rumors, Carlo Bolino and the great Arbri were talked about in a place that falls to him, which is Mazniku. Basically, his problem is July 8, as far as I understand, I saw yesterday that the Supreme Court decided. And his last hope is to be released in the Supreme Court. So when we say to be released, it is to soften the measure and go so that he has the opportunity to go out to the cells. All of these are forms of pressure and blackmail against his own people. So there is no connection with other people, against his own people, to release him. Don't forget that he is the only official who, on February 12 of this year, 2 days after he was arrested, organized a violent protest in front of SPAK where SPAK prosecutors and GJKKO judges were lynched, insulted, and cursed with books. Where in an unprecedented case, cars were obstructed, movement was obstructed. They addressed an official letter to the GJKKO and SPAK State Police and received no response. Not even the guards and no one showed up. And this was also one of the statements that is circulating about a direct intervention in the intimidation and blackmail of justice. So this individual is making all these moves within the framework of the latest decision-making, which is the Supreme Court. Where logic would have it that with the criminal facts, with the already proven corruption and with the wiretaps that have been made in the cell, where he is blackmailing.
