The reaction of the Albanians makes the British ambassador reflect: Avoid the head of the '5D' gang from the Facebook post

On Friday, April 19, 2024, hundreds of citizens came out, for the umpteenth time, in protest against the rampant corruption of Erion Veliaj and the leadership dome of the Municipality, or known as the "5D" corrupt affair, the five directors of Erion Veliaj.

The protest against the mayor Veliaj is among the rare mass protests that take place against a mayor in Albania in the entire history of Albanian pluralism.

And this is due to the fact that Erion Veliaj has raised corruption to a criminal level, unheard of before.

The citizens' revolt on Friday in front of the doors of the municipality was accompanied by the throwing of some crackers in front of the doors of the institution that systematically steals the taxes of the citizens of Tirana.

This was accompanied by an ugly reaction from foreign embassies in Tirana, especially the one from the British embassy, ​​where it was said that the screams of angry citizens at the theft of 30 million euros by the "5D" gang were violence.

While the Albanians have seen how citizens protest in London or Paris when even a small thing is violated, not anymore when 30-million euros are stolen from them in an organized manner.

As can be seen below, the reaction of the British embassy on the social network is unprecedented, as it does not mention in any line the municipal corruption directed by Veliaj.

"The scenes outside Tirana City Hall today and the use of Molotov cocktails have no place in democracy. The British Embassy condemns the use of violence and acts of intimidation.

The United Kingdom continues to demand that all disputes and conflicts be resolved through democratic processes, without violence, and that the rule of law must be respected."

This reaction was not a coincidence since Veliaj's closeness with the British ambassador, Alastair King-Smith, is well known in Tirana.

And exactly on the day of this absurd reaction, the capo of the gang of thieves "5D" was in an activity with the British ambassador talking about leadership. So, while there was a protest in front of the municipality against the theft of 30 million euros by the trusted directors of Veliaj, the latter lectured in front of the young people and Ambassador King-Smith about leadership, as a leadership model.

The reaction of the British embassy was received very badly by the media, journalists and intellectuals of the country who had harsh reactions to what they described as taking under the protection of the leader of the "5D" gang.

This apparently caused Ambassador Alastair King-Smith to reflect, and in today's publication of the Leadership Academy activity, he took care to hide Erion Veliaj from the photos and text posted on the official website of the British Embassy, ​​as can be seen below. . The reaction of the Albanians has caused the ambassador to be careful and not to repeat the same mistake twice by associating with him.

So, as was clearly seen in the video above, Erion Veliaj has been active, he has spoken, he has also given advice to young people on how to become like him, but the British ambassador has realized that protecting a corrupt person is a cost to him. and "hid" him as if he was not present at all./SyriTV
