Socialist MP Erion Braçe has commented for the first time on the debates between Prime Minister Edi Rama and MP Elisa Spiropali, who has openly opposed the Socialist leader and challenged him to expel her.

Invited to Euronews Albania, Braçe said that Spiropali should not be excluded, as according to him she spoke about normal things.

Asked further whether Rama will expel Spiropali from the group, Braçe replied that this is a decision made by the party and not the individual.

"Why should Ms. Spiropali be excluded? I don't understand why her exclusion should be sought. These are normal things in my view. Who is concerned about my view? If they are concerned about orders, let's discuss this ," he said.

"We need to say things to the face about the things that are not going well and have the common sense to accept them, because it is not sacrilege to accept criticism of the government... The party excludes, not individuals. I think the SP does not exclude ," said Brace.

Braçe stated that the concerns raised by Spiropal regarding the ministerocracy or directorocracy within the SP are true and concern many SP deputies.

"For example, the personalization of power is something that the government suffers from. The previous government suffered from it and the current government suffers from it. The government definitely suffers from the ministerocracy and directorocracy. We, the deputies, also suffer from it, because it is an element of inequality between those who are ministers and deputies, who have the entire state hierarchy at their disposal, and the rest of us who have nothing. We are suffering from it, because it is an element of inequality within the SP ," he declared.

Meanwhile, regarding Rama's statements that Spiropal is his "investment", Braçe said that this is a relationship between them and a topic of personal debate.

"This is a relationship between the two. If the lady accepts this and the prime minister accepts this, then it is a relationship between the two. It is their issue. But what I want to say is that we are all investments of the Socialist Party and we are in deficit towards it ," said Braçe.
