TIRANA, May 7 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama has voiced confidence that his ruling Socialist Party (SP) will secure a solid majority in the May 11 parliamentary elections and will push for Albania’s European Union membership.
Addressing a campaign rally in the southern Albanian city of Fier on Wednesday afternoon, the government head stated that Albania should not miss the train of history and the opportunity to join the European Union.
He said that with the May 11 vote, Albania should send a strong message to wrap up the EU accession negotiations within 2027 and tell Europe that Albanians want the country’s EU membership more than any political party and over any political conflict and divisions.
“This time we have no other option but to create the largest majority ever to give Albania the power to negotiate the agreement with Europe and to send a very clear message to the leaders of Europe, who will come together in Tirana on May 16: We the Albanian people with one firm voice want to be part of the united European family and we want it now,” PM Rama said .
