"We had political debates", Beler's confession: In prison I

The former mayor of Himara, at the same time the MEP Fredi Beleri has confessed his 16 months in detention, after the GJKKO found him guilty of election corruption in two levels, arresting him on May 12, 2023.

In an interview for the show "Pa Censure" on RTSH, Beleri says that during this period he made friendships in isolation, even with political opponents or former associates of Prime Minister Edi Rama. He also told about the political debates that took place in prison between him and the arrested socialists.

"In the sector where I was, both in Durrës and in Fier, there were detainees, SPAK subjects, political and public figures, who, at first, were tried in the media and in public, then the SPAK comes out and the court certifies it. I was in prison with Mr. Lefter Koka, Safet Gjici, Alqi Blako, the directors of the municipality of Tirana, the mayor of Bulqiza, of Fushë Arrëzi... I didn't know any of them before, but we became friends, since we shared the same environment. I have a thank you for everyone, as they have respected me and welcomed me in the best way...

We often had political debates. Everyone defended their own ideas. There were those who defended the SP, there were those who did not, but they did not blame the SP for being arrested. Their problem was the injustice that came from the lack of legal procedures, from the non-respect of the rule of law that has its source from SPAK" , said Beleri, who also denied a news spread a few weeks ago, that he had escaped the life of a former mayor in prison.

Beleri was also asked about the election as a Greek MEP, as he said that if it wasn't for Edi Rama, he wouldn't be in that position today.

"If it wasn't for Edi Rama, I would never have become a member of the European Parliament. If he had not ordered my arrest, if he had not ordered the justice to break the law with both feet, I would be a mayor with very big problems. I didn't have the magic wand, I'd be worn out in two years, and half the people who applaud me today would be unhappy. However, I would prefer to be the mayor of the Himar Municipality and I intend to do so again, if I solve the case in time at the Strasbourg Court ", Beleri said.
