Deputy Ervin Salianji reacted after today the Court of Appeal upheld a prison sentence against him.
Salianji said on Facebook that he has strongly denounced any injustice, while adding that this decision against him was made by "wretched judges, who sell their dignity and profession only for chairs".
He added that "the prosecutor and the judge in the case against me came out in public with a long note, showing without hesitation that he staged this legal farce, this political process and that he was the one who made the decision".
"1000 times I would make the denunciation I made again", said Salianji, further underlining that "in war there are sacrifices" and that they have taken from him "the mandate given by the citizens, and the freedom that God gives, but they have lost their dignity and legitimacy".
He concluded the reaction by expressing his apologies to the family and friends who have been worried, as well as to the thousands of Democrats to whom he owes.
Full reaction:
I have defeated them in every electoral confrontation, and in every public debate.
I defeated them and they showed how much they were afraid of me!
I strongly denounced every injustice, without compromise, without fear and in the face of every segment of the mafia!
This decision by wretched judges, who sell their dignity and profession only for a chair, convinces me more than I have had and I am right.
Because the prosecutor and the judge of the case against me, came out openly in public with a long note, showing that he staged this legal farce, this political process and that he was the one who made the decision.
This is Edi Rama.
Even earlier, like in the last session in the Assembly, he threatened his colleagues with the decision he had taken against me. Quite open.
If he is not the author of this punishment, how did he know two weeks before what would be announced today.
I am convicted for denouncing the brother of the Minister of the Interior.
I am condemned by the judge sister-in-law of the Deputy Prime Minister and the judge, the former representative of the SP in the CEC, who sold his soul and integrity just because they promised him the Supreme Court!
If this is not a political act, what else could it be!
Rama, a man who threatens from the power that has given him the theft of all powers in a sneaky and corrupt way. A man who wants to protect his honor from crime and corruption, silencing critics and opponents.
1 thousand times I would make the denunciation I made again. That this is the lane that I have followed and will follow until the end of my public and political activism, against crime and corruption.
And you, who have all the institutions and offices in one hand, the more you increase this rule, the further you are from being a statesman. And you are soon to flee from these honors and privileges without a speck of glory, and no one will be found to show you an iota of respect.
But I will be there to show the truth about your connections with crime, with drug traffickers, with gangs, which are the greatest crimes and damages that anyone has ever done to this country. The clock has turned upside down and the countdown has started for you. For me, it's just an obstacle in the long road ahead of me, which I have to overcome, and this is like many other traps and traps that you are used to setting up for those who don't think like you.
There are sacrifices in war!
They have taken the mandate that the citizens gave me, and the freedom that God gives, but they have lost their dignity and legitimacy.
I am the first politician convicted because I was right, because I defended the public interest.
Dirty, they can't make me dirty!
I have never had any position, no tender, I have neither the sale of friends nor the sale of friends or brothers. Even my excrement does not smell of corruption and drugs.
I am the young generation of politicians who cannot threaten me with the files of SHISH, the State Security, and I am neither an investigator or prosecutor of communism, nor caught by crime and filth!
The opposition was jailed for defamation!
In fact, you cannot wash off the slander of the mouth that sprays with the smelly spittle, the corruption and old age that stinks without smelling it just by looking at it!
Because he was a drug trafficker, he is a drug trafficker and he will remain a trafficker!
The only regret I have today is for the endless family and friends who have worried about those thousands of Democrats, I owe them!
They will not be able to defeat democracy, the rule of law and the rule of law! For me, today is the highest medal that the regime has given me, a wake-up call for democrats and citizens!
We will make it
