"They threatened me in Rama's name!" - Veliaj from prison: They

Erion Veliaj has made serious accusations against Prime Minister Edi Rama, claiming that he was threatened on his behalf to resign from the post of Mayor of Tirana. In his speech to the National Assembly of the Socialist Party, Veliaj reveals details from a meeting with the Minister of Justice, during which, according to him, he was given warnings about the aggravation of his criminal position and the deterioration of detention conditions.

Veliaj links this episode to the efforts he claims were undertaken to remove him from the leadership of the capital, considering the detention and political developments surrounding his mandate part of a process of political neutralization.

"Then came the meeting with the Minister of Justice, during which, as I have stated, I was threatened on behalf of Edi Rama with the aggravation of my criminal position and the worsening of my detention conditions, if I did not resign from the position for which the citizens elected me," Veliaj writes.

But the mayor's claims go even further. He states that these threats prevented him from receiving the necessary medical care for his broken leg, including an examination that would determine whether surgery was needed.

"What makes this situation even more serious is that, following these threats, they are being proven with concrete actions where I am prevented from receiving medical care: I am not provided with the necessary examination to assess the condition of my broken leg and, consequently, neither with the surgical intervention that may be necessary," he says.

Veliaj warns that if detention conditions and healthcare are used to impose the resignation of an elected official, then the situation takes on serious political dimensions.

"If the conditions of detention and the right to healthcare are used to impose a political resignation, then we are dealing with a political inquisition," he emphasizes.

Veliaj also states that he has presented the allegations to the Socialist Parliamentary Group for review and verification, requesting the establishment of a parliamentary investigative commission.

His accusations remain allegations that require independent verification. However, the direct inclusion of Edi Rama's name and the allegations of pressure during detention constitute one of the strongest parts of Veliaj's speech.
