Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama is ready to reveal the names of the members of his fourth cabinet. According to sources within the Socialist Party, it is learned that the official presentation of the new ministers will take place on September 11, at 10:00, at the SP Assembly to be held in Tirana.

But rumors about who the new names in the government cabinet will be have been circulating for a long time and have even been discussed on tonight's television shows.

Thus, journalist Fjorela Beleshi revealed in "Off the Record" on A2 CNN details from the pink camp, where for days now they have been gripped by the fever of distributing positions in the "Rama 4" cabinet.

As for ministerial figures, they will be selected in relation to the country's EU integration process.

"We may have not only new names, but also new ministries. We may have the division of some ministries, but also the creation of new ministers. The reforms will not be new, since Mr. Rama has mentioned them during the summer. But also during the meetings he has had, such as the waste reform, or will it be the drinking water reform. These are reforms that have to do with integration and Albania must complete them before it can gain the trust of Brussels. New ministries but also those that can be returned. We must say that there is a reform for territorial development, we may also have a ministry related to this process. But also the Ministry of Innovation, which brings us back to the "Rama 1" cabinet. In "Rama 4" we will not have fewer ministries, but we will have more ministries exposed to Brussels and the reforms that need to be carried out. Ms. Pirdeni is one of the people who can be reconfirmed. It is not known about the Minister of Anti-Corruption, who is without a portfolio or not. Mr. Ervin Hoxha was a minister "new, but he came out among the most voted in Tirana. A non-political man in the capital, but he managed even with the concession of the ground by the prime minister. Mr. Mazniku could be one of the names that could take on another weight in the Rama 4 cabinet. There is a ministry without portfolio today. There is room for everyone as there will also be changes in parliament, as the number of committees will be increased," Beleshi revealed.

The journalist revealed that MPs from the previous legislature who remained outside the Parliament after the May 11 elections have had meetings with Prime Minister Rama in recent days and we may also have some of them in the new government cabinet.

"Even the MPs who failed to renew their mandate on May 11 are lobbying. They have had meetings with Prime Minister Rama in recent days. Some of them are also expecting ministerial posts. There are names who have had party duties, but they could also be in ministerial posts ," said Beleshi.

While journalist Arbër Hitaj stated that there are clear signals that "a senior representative of the Democratic Party could be Minister of Agriculture."

"Rama started with Vlora, there were opposition members in Elbasan who have moved to local leadership positions, I believe that it will also spread to other cities. It was not simply a departure from performance that happened with the municipalities that the PS had under its control. It is something that will go even deeper. I think that in addition to the desire that Mr. Rama may have had, there is also a veto that came from some of those who were part of the opposition until yesterday. Among them is also a candidate for DP MPs in the past elections. There is talk that a senior representative of the Democratic Party could be Minister of Agriculture in the "Rama 4 " cabinet, said Hitaj.

Meanwhile, Eksiola Shehu said on "Now" on Euronews Albania that a discussed name expected to take the position of minister is former mayor Ervin Demo.

Shehu adds that the government cabinet is expected to be composed of various names including young people, technicians, but also political figures.

"The government cabinet that is expected to meet next Thursday, September 11, is expected to include new and technical names, but political figures who have stood by Prime Minister Rama, when they were simply MPs or committee chairs and at a certain point he deprived them of a ministerial position, are not excluded."

"If there is a post or ministry for political leaders of the regions, it is expected that those who hold political positions will be rewarded, and one of the most discussed names is the former mayor of Berat, Ervin Demo, now a SP MP in this region ," stressed journalist Shehu.
