Socialist MP Klotilda Bushka has reacted to the accusation leveled against her by SPAK for "obstructing the truth" regarding the investigations into Erion Veliaj and Ajola Xoxa.
Bushka says she is "speechless" and does not understand "where she fits" in the file of charges, adding that because of this "blow", she has received mud from the public and the media.
While questioning SPAK's investigation into Veliaj and Xoxa, Bushka says that she has been friends with both of them since childhood and admits that she has communicated with Ajola Xoxa, mainly during this period, which according to her, "during these months of hell" that she is going through.
According to the SPAK file, Bushka took the phone of her cousin, who was in an NGO with Xoxa, to prevent the disclosure of communications, and instructed her on what she should declare to prosecutors.
Klotilda Bushka's full reaction:
I have been "speechless" for 24 hours now that I too have appeared on the long list of names that SPAK has collected to leave Tirana without a mayor, based on suspicions linked to each other like in a movie, for which the maximum of accusations against Erjon Velina and Ajola Xoxa could be raised while they are free. But that is another topic.
My question is where do I fit into this and why should I be subject to the mud that accompanies these attacks of his, according to SPAK, which are reported more quickly by some "special" journalists than by anyone who is slandered without being asked at all?
Have I been friends with Ajola Xoxa since childhood?
Yes, and I will never deny it, nor forget it.
Am I also friends with Erjon?
Yes, since my early youth, and I am also proud of my friendship with Erjon and everything he has done for Tirana.
Have I spoken to Ajola during these months of hell that she is going through, being under tremendous media pressure, except in a process that for me has many question marks?
Yes, I have spoken and will speak whenever he asks me or I ask him. But never to cover up the truth, because the problem has never been how to cover up the truth that Ajola shared with me. The problem has been and is even bigger today, how to avoid covering up Ajola's truth.
As stated above, I have asked to be heard by the parliamentary group. This is really excessive and I can't wait to be heard by those who have included my name in an investigation report, without ever calling me.
