The Rama-Veliaj series continues with a new episode. The mayor of Tirana has released another letter from the Fier prison, this time with the answers he claims to have given to the Minister of Justice, Toni Gogu, during their meeting. The accusations against Edi Rama range from blackmail and political isolation to the claim that the prime minister negotiates with prosecutors about the number of charges and the years of his sentence.
"I understand that you are just the messenger, not the author - I don't blame you, you remain my friend, regardless of your role," Veliaj addresses Gogu.
Further, the mayor accuses Rama of being behind his transfer to Fier and of trying to isolate him from his family.
"Shame that the KM deals with the deportations themselves," he writes, while raising a serious accusation: "What 'honor' should I recognize the KM? That he negotiates with prosecutors about how many charges I will have and how many years I will get?"
Veliaj claims that he was also sent a threat related to the family: "What do you mean, last time as a father? Threat?"
In the letter, he denies being the organizer or financier of the "Flamingo" movement and student protests, while mocking claims that he could organize the overthrow of the constitutional order from prison.
"How can I overthrow the constitutional order from prison? Are you out of your mind or are you telling KM to calm down? Do you understand the words you are saying? You even said terrorism! HAHA".
The mayor recalls his contribution to the Socialist Party, the January 21 protest, the hunger strike and the time when Rama was in opposition, attacking the current ministers who, according to him, have not spent a single day in opposition.
"Not here, but even if you take me to Spaç for 100 years, you won't be able to bend me. Let R forget it," is his message to the prime minister.
The wolf changes its fur, but not its habits. Even from prison, Veliaj does not forget the propaganda for the Municipality of Tirana. He claims that during the delegation of management, not a single school was built, not a single tree was planted and there were no investments, while upon his return, six schools and 1,500 soft loans were unblocked. Beyond this balance sheet that he bills himself, the message to Rama is clear: "I do not delegate BT".
In the final part, Veliaj defends his relationship with lawyer Plarent Ndreca and accuses his political associates of abandoning him.
"For 20 months, no other advisor has left me. You yourself come after 2 years. Who should I consult with? With the walls?", he writes.
According to Veliaj, the meeting with Gogu ended at midnight. The minister brought him two books and left with the prison director, while the mayor returned to his cell on crutches.
"I wished you well and forgave you, but I do not accept illegal affairs," the letter concludes.
The Rama-Veliaj clash has now moved from political accusations to allegations of interference in justice, threats, and the use of prison as an instrument of pressure. Accusations still unproven, but serious enough to demand answers.
The series continues. Only this time the scenario is not simply a political issue. In the middle are also prosecutors, prisons, and a Minister of Justice who, according to Veliaj, has taken on the role of the Prime Minister's postman.
