The full post
After they abducted me from the Mayor’s office with anonymous letters, after they tried to dismiss me from my duties in an unconstitutional way, after they wrecked the management of Tirana, after they persecute me and keep me in political detention for 20 months, in a ping-pong of courts, after they abducted me to change my cell without a single document and after they threatened me there too, today again I approved the projects for 15 new nurseries and kindergartens for the children of Tirana! With these projects, the number of nurseries and kindergartens built or planned during my administration reaches 130! Not in Durrës and Fier, but even on the Moon, if they want to intern me, I will remain loyal to my priorities!
