Tomorrow the Socialist Party Assembly will be held. Lawyer Spartak Ngjela speaks about the possibility of the mayor of Tirana, Erion Veliaj, being expelled from the party, saying there is no clash between him and Edi Rama, while emphasizing that the accusations against the mayor come from SPAK and not from the party.
“I am not a fortune teller, but he can hardly be expelled, because they have the majority in parliament. There is no clash between them. One is a defendant; he is accused. If there were a clash, they would have dismissed him as mayor. They keep him as mayor at a time when he is accused. It is SPAK that accuses him, not the PS. He is accused by SPAK as mayor. What does the PS have to do with this?”, Ngjela said.
Ngjela also commented on the upcoming local elections, regarding the Democratic Party’s proposal to apply a proportional system throughout Albania and open lists. Asked whether such a change would have consequences for the Socialist Party, Ngjela said the PS would not accept this proposal, as it has the parliamentary majority.
