Esmeralda Duro, the wife of Bledar Duro, the teacher arrested for sexual harassment of his students in Korça, has given an interview regarding the event.
She claims that her husband was an alcoholic and he sent the messages to the girls under the influence of alcohol.
Esmeralda: I don’t want him to think he’s been in consciousness. It was not conscious. They say it’s a month long, no! There was contact all the time that they were in the painting group. A weakness of his aggravated by alcohol has led him to that deed. I don’t want to excuse it, but the main cause is alcohol. You have not touched on this fact. I am not excusing him but he was unconscious.
Sidorela: It doesn’t excuse him, what if he raped her
Esmeralda: You can ask the questions however you want to make it more difficult
Sidorela: It’s me or the messages that bother me.
Esmeralda: I know the problem, I don’t have to feel guilty.
Sidorela: Do you have children?
Esmeralda: You can’t ask me that question
Sidorela: I won’t say if it happened to your child
Esmeralda: I haven’t yet, but I know everything that happened. I am with my parents and daughters. Together with my colleague who is in this position, we forgot this fact. This is just a consequence of alcohol. It was part of his weakness, I don’t want to exonerate or exonerate the girls.
Sidorela: How is the husband experiencing it?
Esmeralda: No, only through the avçokat. He feels guilty. Korça knows very well who Bledi is. We are very concerned about what happened. Believe me, he is not such a person. This is untrue, I am outraged by the thoughts that is why I made this decision to speak out. They say it’s been a month.
Sidorela: Even if it happened once, it’s not good. Sorry for the messages
Esmeralda: I’m cosiente. I haven’t read the messages. I feel that I am making a case on behalf of them, why should they stay in the place of making a block. Don’t take it to this kind of point. One by one, if you want to be okay with yourself, make a block, there is a director and that Bled is very well known at school.
Sidorela: I’m sorry to ask, how many years have you been married
Esmeralda: 15 years old. I believe there were no problems of this kind. He is an alcoholic and has gotten heavier in the last year. There were no signs of violence, but signs of alcohol intoxication. When he did not consume alcohol, he was cultured and educated. It’s not like that at all, he’s an artist.
Sidorela: Let’s not name him an artist at least.
Esmeralda: You can’t take it away
Sidorela: They removed those messages
Esmeralda: This happened only under the influence of alcohol, if he was conscious this would not have happened. Cooperation in conversation, if these girls had to stop and stop without blowing it to this kind of extent. Today we must face this fact. That’s not how the person is.
