Erion Veliaj's reaction

Dear friends,

Today marks 2 months since my imprisonment without trial – away from my family, my wife, my little son, and my mother. But also away from my work at the municipality and my campaign, the two passions of my life.

I just wanted to thank you for your kindness and support towards Kai and Ajola, as well as our two mothers – 3 women without their husbands, but with courage and dignity thanks to you for being there for them!

I am still without accusations from an anonymous person who does not exist. No one has come forward to say that I have corrupted you. No one has yet come forward to say that I have corrupted you. Anyone who knows me knows that every day of my work I have helped anyone, anywhere, anytime with honesty.

So, since my opinions on this grotesque process have been forbidden, to those who have found my family, I say from the bottom of my heart, "Thank you"!

I will never forget them!

Blessings and longing for you all.
