The General Secretary of the Socialist Party, Blendi Klosi, was invited to the show “The Unexposed” on MCN TV, where he spoke about the SP Assembly and the news that came out of it, that Prime Minister Rama has criticized Erion Veliaj and Olta Xhaçka in particular.
Klosi said that these reports are not true and there were no such “attacks” as reported by the media, but discussions were held to improve the party on the ground, including in Kavaja, where the political leader was Erion Veliaj and the municipality was won by PD .
Excerpts from the conversation:
Ylli Rakipi: Was there any criticism? Of course, among the people below, it is known that there is no criticism for the leader, here the fish always stinks from the tail…
Blendi Klosi: I don’t know one speaker who didn’t suggest what we could do better. There were over 40 speakers, some may have spoken for the first time, some for a long time. There were also young people who gave their opinion, about the situation, what the party should do better. As for what is called your noise, there was no crack in our internal discussion, in the sharing of opinions on how the party can become stronger, be with the step of time. I was surprised when we left the meeting, that we didn’t even have a phone signal there, the journalists started with those questions, I felt surprised, as much as you can be surprised in Albania.
Ylli Rakipi: News came out that Rama criticized Veliaj and called him “NGO”. For me, with the experience I have, Rama and Veliaj are like flesh and blood, but there were such news that came out.
Blendi Klosi: There was talk about the SP branch in Kavaja, where the municipality was lost and this has nothing to do with names. The party needs a slightly different mobilization. If this is criticism, it is neither for Erion Veliaj, nor for Edi Rama, nor for Klos. There was no tendency for this to turn into an internal SP debate. Everyone expects that SP
Andi Tela: These expressions were used for Veliaj “He holds meetings as an NGO”, or criticism of Xhacka for Facebook.
Blendi Klosi: No, they are not true. It talked about the things we should do to improve our inner life.
Andi Tela: These were said by Rama or not?
Blendi Klosi: Let’s not forget that we are a winning party, a super organized party, 5400 meetings were held in 20 days, we published them on our social networks.
Andi Tela: Were these sentences said or not?
Blendi Klosi: Debates on how everyone reported, I felt good that I was in that meeting. As a member of the SP for many years, I felt good that I joined that party, that wins, has discussion and a party that is an example of how an organization should stand on sound principles.
