The Tirana Municipality requested a change of the judge panel that will
review the case for repealing the construction permit of the 17-store
building at the Tirana Artificial Lake.
Tirana Mayor, Erion Veliaj, said that the process of this case was accelerated by request of the defendants, and the judge panel is made of their relatives.
“I did not request for an acceleration of the process. It was requested by the other party. This means that the other party has power over the court, to change the order of things. They even have power to take the verdict they want. The judge panel has been changed and there are relatives of those who administer the firm. This is the reason we requested a change of the judge panel”, Veliaj said.
Veliaj asked the President, as Chairman of the High Council of Justice, to explain why he allowed this.
“The HCJ leader allowed the changing of the judge panel and appointed relatives of the people who are building this construction. The President must answer for this, or he will conclude his career with a bigger shame than when he vandalized the kindergarten”, the Mayor of Tirana said.
Veliaj underlined that besides judges, this permit should have the opinion of the public opinion, since their safety is damaged by the building of five apartment buildings in this area.
