Begaj reacts to Veliaj's dismissal: I have implemented the law, the
Grida Duma and President Bajram Begaj

Invited this evening to "Top Story" by Grida Duma, President Bajram Begaj explained why he decreed the election date in Tirana.

President Begaj said that he has followed the entire constitutional process and legal procedures that respect the Constitution for the dismissal of Erion Veliaj as well as for the decree of early elections in Tirana.

Begaj added that by respecting every constitutional principle, he exercised his authority to issue the decree for early elections.

Excerpt from the interview:

Grida Duma: You decreed an election date according to Article 115 of the Constitution, which with a furious reaction from a political party that is the opposition called it a scam, meaning that you had a political bias at the moment you decreed a request for the election date, while Erion Veliaj in the municipality of Tirana, which is known to be the big apple of discussion, has filed an appeal with the Constitutional Court. The Constitutional Court, for its part, says that we have announced the judgment. How do you feel about this decision?

Bajram Begaj: I think that there is no balance in the judgment between the President's decree and the decision of the Constitutional Court. Of course, the mayor was dismissed by the Council of Ministers with a VKM after the proposal made by the municipal council, which, with the votes of the ruling party and the opposition, found the failure to appear for duty as a legal reason. A legal reason that has been widely discussed in the media.

Likewise, the Government, for its part, in the announced decision, analyzes as a cause, not the political cause related to Article 115 of the Constitution, which states "for serious violations of the Constitution and laws", but states that the dismissal of the mayor from office was made with the motivation of failure to appear for duty. So we are dealing with Article 62 point c.

Of course, this dilemma has been consulted with my team and any claims in the media or from certain parties have been analyzed, who after a very active discussion assured me that while respecting constitutional principles, the president must exercise the constitutional authority to issue a decree for early elections. Of course, with the issuance of the decree for early elections, the parties have not been denied the right to bring any possible claim to legal proceedings, but the Constitutional Court expresses itself in a decision and, as far as I know, such a decision has not yet been made.
