After Wessel's decision, Besim Beqaj resigns from ministerial position

At a news conference, Beqaj said the party chairman Kadri Weselin's decision yesterday has emerged from joint discussion in the party.

“The decision is seen as a joint commitment to the PDK's structures, which I am part of in order to eliminate charges for PDK officials”, Beqaj has said.

He has expressed confidence that he is innocent.

In my case, I am convinced that the charges are groundless and justice will prove that. Everyone is innocent until proven otherwise. Respect that. Justice will prove it. The work I am being tried for has no element of criminal activity. The actress has a mountain of faults and is selective justice. I invite you to escort the trial to court. In case of the right court process, I will be released from the indictment. During my political commitment, both private and public I have been guided by two principles: law enforcement and professionalism”, he added.

On the other hand, he said he is proud of projects he has implemented during his work as minister.

I'm proud of the projects I've implemented. We've come up with legislation to decide what's important. Let's create opportunities for young people in the entrepreneur's office after we've given them funds. I assure you, this challenge will pass quickly and the truth will come true. I'm convinced the prosecution will fall. I thank everyone for the cooperation we've had”, Beqaj said away./ P ERISCOPIA
