"Sport must be 'fair play'", Veliaj from Lake Park: The battle today for the liberation of sport from the mafia and the untouchables

"Sport must be 'fair play'", Veliaj from Lake Park: The

The Mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj and the young people of the Municipal Council of Tirana planted trees today near the Lake Park. Veliaj mentioned the fact that the liberation of the occupied spaces at the lake has been a battle in itself, as is today the battle with the AFF.

"Today we took back half of the lake, which was abused and occupied. It is also a metaphor for the battles we are waging today. The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, but the second best time to plant a tree is today. The best time to liberate sport from the mafia was 20 years ago, when the mafia was elected in charge of sport. But, the second best time to deal with this job is today. So, it is never too late to do the right thing and the right thing. The escape of the concrete mixers was also a battle. It's not that the city has left us a week without battle, but this is the next battle. Therefore, I strongly believe that we should give an example that in this city there is no mafia, there is no gang from Shijak, and the wonders we are hearing from that gang ", stressed Veliaj.

Më tej, kryebashkiaku nënvizoi se do e vazhdojë këtë betejë deri në fund, sepse sporti duhet të jetë “fair play” dhe jo një bandë e paprekshme nga askush.

“Ti mund të jesh i pavarur, por nuk mund të jesh i paprekshëm! Ti duhet të tregosh ku shkuan paratë e FIFA-s dhe UEFA-s. Për sa kohë që Bashkia e Tiranës bën terrene të tilla, si këto fushat ngjitur, si fushat lart në kodër, që ia merr zaptuesit dhe ia kthen qytetit, unë do vazhdoj ta bëj këtë betejë për mijëra fëmijë. Dje më kanë shkruar mijëra prindër, nëna dhe baballarë, të cilët ndihen të poshtëruar dhe të fyer që kursimet e tyre - 20 apo 30 mijë lekë çdo muaj - për të çuar djalin në futboll, i pastron si para pularia e Shijakut. Unë nuk do të dorëzohem nga kjo betejë dhe nuk do tutem në emër të këtyre familjeve, që besojnë që jeta duhet të ketë fair play. Sporti duhet të ketë fair play, studentët duhet të kenë fair play, një fëmijë i vogël meriton fair play”, u shpreh Veliaj.

In the end, the mayor made a parallel, when he said that “This tree will probably not make any shade today, but it will make shade for all our children tomorrow. "At least, when the history of the city is written, we should have the opportunity that the battles we fought today, just like these trees we planted, serve to pave the way for someone else, so that tomorrow will be easier."
