TIRANA, September 11/ATA/ Vlora Mayor Ermal Dredha submitted his resignation today from the position he has held since July 2013.
In a public letter, addressed to Prime Minister Edi Rama, but also to the citizens of Vlora, Dredha stated, “I have done my best, perhaps not always enough, but always honestly. I have been close to people in good days and in difficult days and I have felt their troubles and hopes as if they were my own family”.
“However, I believe that at a certain point it is important to know how to leave with dignity, to pave the way for new energies and ideas. My resignation comes as an act of reflection and responsibility. My current family and personal circumstances, or even political and administrative, lead me to believe that my resignation is the most correct action at this moment. This decision does not imply a departure from public responsibility, but is a conscious act to create space for new ideas and rhythms of development for our municipality”, Dredha wrote further on.
At the same time, Dredha thanked PM Rama for the institutional cooperation, emphasizing that this decision does not change either his respect or his responsibility towards the country and its citizens.
Dredha ended his letter with grateful thanks to all collaborators, adding that he will continue to contribute in other ways for the common good of the city of Vlora. /e.i/j.p/p.s./
