"Without me you are a m..." - The unspoken words of the Socialist
Edi Rama

The Socialist Party National Assembly held this Saturday behind closed doors was much more tense than it appeared publicly after its conclusion.

Vox News sources inside the meeting indicate that Edi Rama has delivered one of the harshest speeches against Socialist MPs and leaders, combining political criticism with a vocabulary that, at times, has turned into direct insults.

The message that has been repeated several times by the prime minister has been the same:

"Where were you when Tirana burned?"

According to Vox News sources, Rama has accused the Socialist MPs of withdrawing at a time when the government and the Socialist Party were under the greatest political pressure and protests.

"You left me alone, you thought I was finished!" Rama is said to have told those present.

Next, he was even more direct:

"You disappeared because you thought: this one is gone..."

Part of Rama's anger, according to Vox News sources, is also focused on the behavior of socialists on social networks.

"You enjoy it when Taulant Balla is insulted on Instagram and Facebook ," he is reported to have said.

"You only have the logo, I have the votes"

The strongest moment of the meeting came when Rama spoke about the protests and the relationship between MPs, the Socialist Party, and the electorate.

According to Vox News sources, he told MPs that the protests are not just against him personally, but against the entire Socialist Party.

"They are not protesting against me, but against you. They do not want the SP!"

Rama then moved on to an even more serious statement about his relationship with the party:

"You only have the logo, I have the votes. I am bigger than the party, without me you are shit!"

Vox News sources describe the room as frozen at this moment, with very little reaction from those present.

But not everyone was targeted. According to information from Vox News, Taulant Balla, Belinda Balluku, Niko Peleshi, Albana Koçiu and Ervin Demo were among the few names that Rama used as positive references during the speech.

They were, according to sources, the only ones who essentially escaped the "storm" of criticism and harsh language directed at the rest of the room.

Support for Albana Koçiu has been particularly strong.

Rama introduced it in such strong tones that, according to sources, his statement caused astonishment in the hall:

"Albana is the mayor that Tirana needs today."

At the end of the Assembly, the positioning of Albana Koçiu and Ervin Demos in the leadership of the socialist structures of Tirana was also made public.

Another episode that Vox News learns from inside the meeting is related to how the Assembly was to be communicated to the public.

Rama asked those present not to spill the beans on internal discussions.

"When you leave this meeting, you will not tell anything that was discussed here ," Rama is reported to have told them.

Rama even defined the line that should be conveyed in the media.

"You will only say that here we started the engines for the municipal elections, that there was talk about the strength of the Socialist Party and the path that will lead Albania to the European Union."

And in fact, after the meeting ended, public communication from socialist leaders focused precisely on party organization and preparations for local elections.

Another issue that has produced tension has been that of Elisa Spiropali.

According to Vox News sources, Rama has requested that Spiropali no longer participate in Assembly meetings, stating that she can remain a member of the party, but not part of this forum.

"From today, Elisa will no longer step foot in any Assembly meeting. She is only a member of the party, but never in the Assembly ," was Rama's message.

But the clash that created one of the strongest moments of the meeting was the one with Pandeli Majko.

Vox News sources say that, after a debate where Rama addressed Majko in offensive tones, the former socialist MP stood up.

"I want to say something that none of you have the courage to say, but you all think: We have lost Tirana. If elections are held today, we will not win !" - said Majko.

According to the same sources, Rama interrupted Majko and did not allow him to continue his intervention.

According to a deputy present at the meeting, he told Vox News that this was one of the most shameful meetings of the SP Assembly.
