Meta refuses to enter Parliament through the resignation of PL MPs: I will not accept any trick

The President of the Freedom Party, Ilir Meta, rejected the possibility of obtaining the mandate of MP through the removal of his party's candidates from the closed coalition list with the DP.

" Some benevolent voices, but also some evil ones, suggest as a way to obtain my parliamentary mandate, the resignation of the Freedom Party candidates on the closed list of the Tirana District. I want to assure everyone that Ilir Meta, since 2008, when the adverse constitutional changes were made, has fought for representation only through the free and open will of the citizens, in a continuous and principled manner, because this is a matter of my conviction and character and as a result I cannot accept any gimmick or pragmatic solution that goes against the major causes for which I have fought and will always fight ," Meta said in a message posted on Facebook.

He thanked the 8,000 voters who voted for him, saying that they resisted the extraordinary pressures of the Narkoshteti and did not sell their freedom. " For me, they are not voters but heroes and will forever enjoy all my boundless gratitude. I would like to thank and appreciate Tedi Blushi, and the other colleagues in the Freedom Party who fought with dedication in this unequal campaign in the face of the Narkoshteti and its criminal electoral machinery, infidelities and stabs in the back. A special thank you also to all those commissioners, counters and observers, who are continuing with persistence and high responsibility to count and protect every vote until the last vote ," said Meta.
