Nisma Thurrje, Endri Shabani's party, has today declared its support for the opposition candidate for the Municipality of Tirana, Florjan Binaj.
"Tirana needs a new spirit, for people who are not part of the system that has ruined it," says the reaction of Nisma Thurrje, which evaluates Binaj's role as an activist and journalist.
Binaj, comedian of the show "Portokalli", and recently moderator of the investigative show "Piranjat", received the support of the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha.
Binaj will compete against Ogerta Manastirliu from the Socialist Party, and Arlind Qorri from the Bashke movement.
The Knitting Initiative's reaction:
Nisma Thurje supports Florjan Binaj for mayor
Today, the Presidency of the Weaving Initiative decided to support the independent candidate for the Municipality of Tirana, Florian Binaj, in these elections.
This decision is mainly related to the values that Florian Binaj has shown throughout all these years of activism.
As an activist, Flori has shown his commitment to always be on the side of the citizens. We have protested with him in defense of the National Theater, in defense of the Vjosa River, in protests against price increases and many other social injustices.
As a journalist, Flori has shown the courage to denounce corruption. He has spoken openly, without filters. In a city where propaganda has replaced truth, his voice has remained pure and independent.
Tirana needs a new spirit, for people who are not part of the system that has ruined it.
Therefore, we are convinced that as mayor, Flori will give hope to Tirana and all of Albania.
As municipal councilors, it would be our job to work with Mayor Florian Binaj to provide food in schools, public transportation, and to turn Tirana into a city that belongs to the majority, not the interests of the minority.
