Edi Rama believes in former minister Tahiri's innocence

Rama has said he believes Tahiri's innocence and has admitted to giving him all his support before and after being appointed Interior Minister.

Is Symir Tahir innocent? The first to believe in Scott's innocence, after his father's mother, is me. With Tahiri as interior minister, I have communicated several times a day. In eight years of work, he was the first man to come to headquarters after my election as chairman, Rama stressed during the Socialist Parliamentary Group meeting. Tahiri climbed the stairs one by one and was elected minister of interior for his merits. I approved his candidacy for the general director of the State Police, I didn't interfere with the selection he made”.

Rama has stood up for Tahir, even though he acknowledged that it was a difficult case. He again accused the opposition, but also the Public Crimes Prosecutor, saying it was about a farce trial staged by angry amateurs.

“This is a fatheric case and I am in a fatheric position, since Tahiri is known to be the most attacked and hated minister by the opposition. I'm not the one who makes an innocent statement about Scott. Tahiri was on the most difficult front, even charges brought by the prosecution running, would envy Ben Johnson as well. So I openly and firmly join Tahiri's conviction against a farce trial, which is like a farce incited by angry amateurs. I've done this regularly, I've joined him like this even when he was a minister of interior from a judge's accounts dressed as an MP. Procurory charges are comical presentations. All we've seen is a surprising copy of the political court we've seen for four years in Parliament”.
