Socialist MP Elisa Spiropali yesterday called on Prime Minister Edi Rama to undertake a self-cleansing action within the ranks of the Socialist Party and remove from this force the people she called "scumbags", "dirt" or "wrestlers".
Spiropali's statements were commented on by the leader of the Socialist Party of Shkodra, Mirela Dodaj, who said that "if a self-purification process really needs to begin in the Socialist Party, then it would be fair to start with you, Elisa Spiropali. Because before you hold others accountable, you must give an account of yourself."
"Elisa Spiropali, when she talks about meritocracy, democracy and self-purification, it seems like she is talking about a party where you have never been part of the decision-making. The truth is quite different.
For years you have been among the most privileged figures in the Socialist Party. Therefore, it is difficult to understand to whom your call for self-purification is addressed.
To others or to yourself?
I fully support the government of Edi Rama and the reforms that have moved Albania forward, even in moments when it has been easier to shout than to take responsibility. For this very reason, I believe that no one should behave today as a judge of others, as it has been an inseparable part of every process, every decision-making and every problem that today seeks to denounce.
If a process of self-purification really needs to begin in the Socialist Party, then it would be fair to start with you, Elisa Spiropali.
"Because before you hold others accountable, you must be accountable for yourself," says Mirela Dodaj, the leader of the Shkodra SP.
