Anuela Ristani

The Deputy Mayor of Tirana, Anuela Ristani, participated in the ceremony organized by the Municipality of Tirana to mark the 105th anniversary of the proclamation of the Albanian capital.

And while Mayor Erion Veliaj is in detention, Ristani expressed the emotions and difficulty of this period, emphasizing that none of those present had thought they would be on the podium under these conditions.

"It feels like we're in a bad dream and we're going to wake up in the same room we left yesterday, where we were making to-do lists and sharing information like every Monday morning," she said.

However, Ristani emphasized that Tirana is bigger than any individual and the work of the Municipality will continue, regardless of the circumstances.

"Whoever we are, the work is behind us. The Prime Minister has been with us in these difficult hours, and we will regain the lost momentum. This surprise blow will motivate us even more ," stressed Ristani.

"I ask my colleagues to join me, all the deputy mayors. None of us here today would have thought that we would be on the podium. Not 5, but even 500 if we were, we would not be able to fill the void we feel. In more than a decade of daily work, what has united us does not match at all with the image we have heard in the last 24 hours. It seems to us as if we are in a bad dream and we will wake up in the same hall where we left yesterday where we were making to-do lists and sharing information like every Monday morning. But Tirana is bigger than us. Whoever we are, the work is left behind. The Prime Minister has been by our side in these difficult hours. We will regain the lost rhythm and this surprise blow will motivate us even more ", concluded Ristani.
