Salianji: My case was taken out of the running, those who disturb Rama are being targeted

Salianji: My case was taken out of the running, those who disturb Rama are being

Former Democratic Party MP Ervin Salianji has accused Prime Minister Edi Rama of selective use of justice against political opponents.

Invited to Syri TV, Salianjit said that his prison sentence is the clearest example of how Rama punishes opposition voices, and even mentioned other similar cases, such as Fredi Beleri, Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta. 

"It is the first time that a deputy, or even an ordinary person, has been sent to prison for this issue. I am the first deputy to go to prison with a mandate. After I surrendered to the institutions, the mandate was revoked a week later. This issue was not in its turn, it was taken out of turn.

Let's take a moment that for me was not... the former party leader did not have, let's say, any concessions, let alone any other words. It was 2019 when the mandates were handed over. And there were extraordinary protests, the citizens' merit must be recognized for the extraordinary protests of 2019.

Edi Rama opened the case at the prosecutor's office, the Russian lobbying case, did he keep it hanging until the elections were over? Didn't we go in for the municipal elections? Was there no reaction? That case was closed then, wasn't it. That's over. There was another person who was worrying him, it was Sali Berisha. He beat him in a familiar way, he kept him on the balcony for a year? When he comes out, like I did, it seems like it didn't happen, but it's 10 months of deprivation of liberty.

Let's move on to the next one. He won, because this is where the discussion takes place: okay, can Edi Rama win, do we win??? Okay, you won, put him in jail. Did Beleri win and they put him in jail? Did I win when I was facing him and went to jail?
Let's move on to the next scenario to go to the elections, because Edi Rama has nothing to offer anymore. The only element with which he holds power is the creation of a climate of tension and terror using the institutions. Did he put Ilir Meta in jail by setting an example in a bandit way... because it is known that he is a political party mainly linked to the person, or not, to get all his former officials on the lists.

So Ilir Meta and his party were corrupt, but apart from Ilir Meta, everyone else is clean?! Because you have everyone else with Rama. O MPs, o ministers, o directors. So it wasn't a matter of party, nor a matter of principle, it was a matter of who bothers him...”
