Albanian candidate for MEP, Muharrem Salihu: Albanians in Italy supporting my
Muharrem Salihu

In June, the elections for the European Parliament are held and an Albanian entrepreneur is running for the MEP in Italy, and he is Muharrem Salihu.

Salihu, in an interview on News 24, called on the Albanian community in Italy to vote for his candidacy. He said that it is a historic moment for Albanians that they can have an MEP, so they should use this historic moment.

"I have great commitments in the social and humanitarian aspect. I found the opportunity and opportunity to run for +Europa, because of the path chosen by Mrs. Emma Bonino, who supported me in this race. The Albanian community in Italy should support my candidacy, because it is an unrepeatable historical event. Albanians will have to vote for an Albanian for MEP, whoever he is, as it would be historic to have a MEP", said Muharrem Salihu, candidate for MEP in Italy.

He said that our nation deserves Europe, while he called on the Albanians living in Italy to vote for him as a member of the European Parliament.

"Italy is a locomotive for the Balkan road towards the EU. There are one million Albanians in Italy, who contribute to the Italian state, work and live honestly. Albanians in Italy are not only workers, but have also become successful entrepreneurs. As for Rama's visit to Italy, I believe that every representative of the Albanian state in the neighboring country should be supported, as Albanians should be supported, because they are already citizens with equal rights to others in the Italian state", said Muharrem Salihu.

Former MEP Emma Bonino, head of +Europa, in an interview for News24, said that it should not be a surprise that she supports Muharrem Salihu, a philanthropist of Albanian origin, who is running for the European Parliament.

Bonino said that the Albanians " are a community that we have been very close to for a long time, the gentleman has applied to enter the elections for the European Parliament, he is an Albanian with Italian citizenship.

I believe that the message we should give is that we are deeply pro-European, that we think it is important, that is, to unlock this situation that is paralyzed".
