Prime Minister Edi Rama has asked for Elisa Spiropal’s expulsion from the Socialist Party, but the issue has not been put to the polls in the National Assembly, following objections that have sparked within the meeting. Spiropal himself’s response and the support she received from Fatmir Xhafaj, Pandeli Majko and Erion Brace have prompted the SP chairman’s request not to pass to the polls.
The debate between Rama and Spiropal has also been accompanied by direct replicas. The prime minister addressed it with a historical comparison, saying: I was Skenderbe and you were Mamica, but you threw your house with stones and you became flamingo.
Spiropal has replied that its positions have not been against Edi Rama, but against the way, according to her, some people are trying to exploit the Socialist Party. I was not against you, but against the way the ministers and directors are elected, and those who abuse power and exploit the Socialist Party. If this looks like flamingo, then I’m a flamingo. I was the head of the Parliament, there’s no procedure that’s involving me, learns to express Spiropal.
Other Socialist Party figures have been expressed against the exceptions. Fatmir Xhafaj has called for measures to be taken against Spiropal and Pront Dillesa, but not to reach their departure from the party. Pandeli Majko and Erion Brace have also supported the stance against exemptions, writes the TCH.
In addition to the debate on exceptions, another important issue at today’s Assembly is the reshuffle of the Socialist Party’s political leadership.
Political direction, with two SP co-chairmen for Tirana County, Rama entrusted Albana Koci and Ervin Demos. The two names are expected to take responsibility for organising and co-ordinating socialist structures in the capital, under preparations for the upcoming local elections.
The National Assembly started works with a word by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who requested a break in broadcasting to the media, with the argument that he wanted to share first some messages with members of the forum.
In the open part for the media, Rama stopped at the European integration process, naming historical the European Commission’s recommendation for the launch in 2027 of preparations for Albania’s European Union membership treaty. It called for the mobilisation of socialist structures across the country, in the function of the May 9th 2027 local elections.
This is the first meeting of the SP National Assembly after about nine months and takes place at a moment when the majority is preparing for local elections, while facing protests by students and opposition parties on the ground.
Following Prime Minister Edi Rama’s decision to trust the leadership of Socialist Party structures in Tirana district, along with Albana Kociun, Ervin Demo has reacted through a post on social networks, where he has expressed gratitude for the confidence given by SP chairman Edi Rama and members of the National Assembly.
He stresses that political work should be based on individual responsibility, team work and continued communication with citizens, recognition of their problems and commitment to resolve them.
