Prime Minister Edi Rama delivered his speech today at the Delphi Economic Forum. Prime Minister Edi Rama was questioned by Greek journalist Alexis Papahelas from Kathimerini regarding the case of Fredi Beler, who was arrested just days before the local elections and convicted for vote manipulation. Alexis Papahelas: Let's move on to Fredi Beleri. Rama: Why should we go back to that, he is happy, he is a Member of the European Parliament. For him, everything ended in such a way that any mayor who has been taken into pre-trial detention would dream of, but they continue to be in prison. Today I have proof that at the time it seemed like a unique case. And I have tried to explain to my dear friend Kyriakos that this is something related to a pattern in our country after the justice reform that is becoming a problem. I can share with you, I am not proud of this, but the judiciary is independent and we must deal with this with patience. In Albania today, we have 58% of people in prison who have not yet been tried. The Mayor of Tirana from my party was imprisoned in January 2025 and continues to be in prison, and the judicial process has just begun. When I said that for Beleri it ended wonderfully because he is a Member of the European Parliament, it's over, I don't want to go back to it. I now have proof that this only affected one ethnic Greek. It is something that has affected many people, and I can count other mayors who have faced this.
