DERVIÇAN / HIMARA - The last press statement of MP Vandul Gjeli, also chairman of the Beleri Dërgon Ngjala Party, PBDNJ, that starting from tomorrow he will abandon politics and devote himself to church music.

The well-known deputy, who won the current parliamentary mandate as part of the opposition list after receiving a total of 800 votes, announces that he will give up all political activities, parliamentary benefits, extra payments for travel expenses, bonuses for participation in parliamentary commissions, half-price coffees and croissants in the parliament buffet, and generally from all the material goods of this world.

"My dear constituents," Vanduli addressed his 800 voters, of whom more than half have regretted voting for him, while the rest have universally admitted that they crossed his name on the ballot paper, believing that this is how they expressed their dislike for him, and not their preference.

"From tomorrow, I give up my parliamentary mandate, disgusted by this dirty policy that does not think at all about the Albanian people, nor about the Greek, Macedonian, Montenegrin, or Italian minorities in Albania. I will dedicate myself to church music, which has been my youth passion, and we will make video clips and albums. Two days ago, as the president of PBDNJ, Mr. Beleri sent Ngjala to me from the cell where he is, to tell me how the Albanian dictatorial authorities mistreat him. Merri and haji told me that I have them for my restaurant in Himare and they will break. Since those politicians in Albania who have eaten eels have been successful, I decided to choose my own path", declared Gjeli, looking nostalgically at some old photos when she sang as a soprano in the church of Derviçani.

Vandul Gjeli is part of that glorious group of politicians in Albania, who have put aside the dreams and passions of youth, to dedicate themselves to the progress and modernization of the country as soon as they left school. Consequently, in their passports they have not signed for any other occupation except as MPs, party leaders, tek-tuk minister or vice-minister and, at most, as director of directorates.

This deficiency has eaten away at him over the years, but like many others, Mr. Gjeli has also realized that life has sacrifices. Representing the Greek minority, Vandul Gjeli has been a proud witness of how, from term to term, the voters, satisfied with his performance, together with many Albanians, have left first for Greece and then from their eyes and feet, through Europe and America. Not taking a day off, sometimes in power with the right and sometimes with the left, sometimes with both together, Vanduli's fragile body got used to the frenetic pace of doing things for the good of the people. This was also the reason why the removal of the last few years from executive positions has cost him physically and psychologically.

"This country is not done," continued Mr. Gjeli's statement, adding that it will pave the way for new generations.

"I hope they do something more. I did not fight for the two houses I have in Tirana, nor for the flats in Himara, Saranda, Ioannina and Athens, but to build bridges of friendship between peoples. But they prevented me, even the bridge tenders were given to someone else. Yes, this is terrible, gentlemen!”

Finally, regarding his new career, Vandul Gjeli announced that the music albums entitled 'Dhimitrulla mu' and 'Jasu Vangjellaki' are nearing completion .

"Profits from the sale of these albums will go to the needy," explained Gjeli, " that is, we will change the tiles in the bathrooms of my house in Janina."

PS Patronajisti just learned that for now MP Vandul Gjeli has canceled his resignation, after he was informed that MPs' salaries will be doubled. "This place can be done," reflected Mr. Gjeli.
