The mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, has described the "Mali i Tirana" tower, which allegedly belongs to the shareholders of "Foltore", as being caused by the quarrel between the two parts of the Democratic Party.
Veliaj says that every procedure was done in a transparent manner and that several buildings were expropriated.
Meanwhile, according to him, the total expropriation of the entire surface has a cost of 20 million euros, he says.
"There are many people who say why it is not expropriated. The municipality has actually expropriated some buildings. The expropriation of the Kosova school was 2 million euros, but a land that is 20 thousand square meters at a cost of 1 thousand square meters of land under construction in the center of Tirana, because it was for construction since the famous time of Ajdin Sejdi has a cost of 20 million euros.
It is very easy to make news and imitate Mjafti in the meal. It's mediocre. It is very difficult to make decisions to dismantle a decision. That area was given for construction and maintenance by the municipality until that happened.
To say they discovered something in August is pathetic. In July, the Democratic Party of Vula was reconfirmed and a fight began with the Democratic Party of Saliu, heads hung.
It happened transparently and 4 million euros of tax was paid to the Municipality of Tirana. The competition was transparent, the permit was transparent", said Veliaj for Report TV.
