Pressed for the opposition’s accusations about waste in a televised interview, Veliaj said that those who signed were the ministers of Ilir Meta.

“One must ask every day what the name of this party is, a party that is not in trouble has no reason to change its name. Just like a man who has criminal records and changes his name because he needs a new identity to keep under wraps the fact that he was a drug dealer, or served time in jail. As a party that has problems with its identity, it changes its name every day. It was not my ministers, it was Ilir Meta’s minister who signed it. It wasn’t even our staff, it was Ilir Meta’s, so they have clearly broken the deal inside their house and they settle accounts with each other. If you ask me that it is a big thing that the Freedom Party, or the former LSI, follows the trash, the Freedom Party, as far as I remember, has followed the trash, in all senses of the word. So, I am not surprised that they stay behind the trash containers all day,” said Veliaj.

He underlined that today Tirana is many times cleaner at 1/3 of the price less than the previous administration paid.

“They should understand that the municipality of Tirana collects the garbage and takes it to the landfill, after that our work is done. It does this at a price 1/3 cheaper than Ilir Meta-Sali Berisha coalition, when Monika and Luli ran the municipality of Tirana. Today the city is cleaner with 1/3 of the price less than the previous administration paid. What interests me as mayor is to offer a service that is cheaper than what their coalition proposed and keep the taxes intact. “

The mayor underlined that the responsibility is individual and whoever violates the law will be held to account.
