TIRANA, January 20/ATA/ The Socialist Party will immediately start organization for the March 6 local by-elections, which will be held in 6 municipalities.
After today’s meeting of the SP leading board, Prime Minister Edi Rama confirmed that in this meeting it was decided to begin immediately the organization process for the elections.
“It is a process where we will certainly be part, we will respect the deadlines, we will present the candidates”, he said.
PM Rama responded to the journalists’ interest in possible candidates. “I do not think we will have MPs as a principle in this race because the MPs have been elected to become MPs and this is the opinion of the entire leading board. As far as women are concerned, you know very well that between a woman and 10 men I choose the woman “, said PM Rama.
Asked about a second chance to those affected by decriminalization, PM Rama stressed that, “second chances are given only in individual relationships.”
PM Rama also invited citizens to participate in the National Consultation process.
“It is not a tactical need, it is a real need to get this opinion to have a clear idea of what people think regardless of the parties, despite the daily divisions,” Rama continued.
Regarding the alliances for the local by-elections, Rama said that, “it is universally known that we are in alliance with the citizens and the National Consultation is another step to extend this alliance with the people regardless of their vote.”
PM Rama stressed that he is more committed to the National Consultation process as it is the first time this happens. “It’s an initiative that I want to be an initiative to turn into a tradition of the government, to address the people every year with questions that require answers from them and whose answers are strategic,” he said.
Asked by reporters about the Turkish President’s request to take measures for the structure of FETÖ in our country, PM Rama stated that, “We have no debt to the President of the Republic of Turkey, just as the President of the Republic of Turkey has no debt to us because there are no debts between friends and with a brotherly friendship./j.p/r.e/p.s./
