The Socialist Party Assembly is expected this Saturday to bring significant changes to the party’s leadership structures, but with decisions that could affect the government cabinet. Top Channel journalist Muhamed Veliu has revealed some of the scenarios expected to be on the prime minister’s table during the meeting. According to Veliu, one of the main changes could be doubling the number of political leaders, from 12 to 24.
”Rama is expected to double the political leaders from 12 to 24. He believes he has found two suitable candidacies for Tirana and Shkodra”, the journalist said. As for the race for leading the two municipalities, the names under discussion are Ervin Demo for Tirana and Enea Karakaçi for Shkodra, where the latter may face Kliti Hoti.
Veliu also raised the possibility that two ministers could leave their government posts to run for mayor. “Two ministers may sacrifice their posts to run for mayor”, he said, leaving open the possibility of changes in the government cabinet.
Another issue expected to draw the attention of socialists is the prime minister’s stance on the situation of Erion Veliaj. According to the journalist, so far the prime minister has not taken a public position on this matter, and it remains to be seen whether he will comment during the Assembly. The Assembly is expected to take place at 10:30 at Gjiri i Lalëzit, where, in addition to the reorganization of party structures, attention will also be on decisions for preparing socialists for the May 9 elections.
