Prime Minister Edi Rama announced that even socialist women who have a mandate as MPs will be on the battlefield for votes on the open list, where they will compete with other women, as the competition will be equal, according to the socialist leader, even with men.
He emphasized that this ' blood transfusion ' of the party is necessary because their ability to change within themselves and regenerate the party with young people has kept them " on the horse " since 2013, like the DNA of the Socialists.
He highlighted the precedent of 2005 as a political illustration, saying that if they don't change to tell citizens that they are closer to them, then it will happen and " they will throw us in the trash like in 2005. "
" As for the deputies, it is moving towards finalization, but we will see how it goes. But all deputies who have a mandate will be on the open list.
The competition should be equal on open lists, women with women and men with men.
And next, what have young men and women given to be on the closed list?
I have a different perspective, because these young men and women should be there to give energy, to give blood transfusion to the SP. While the others who received a mandate before should be in the battle to get votes.
Everyone should be aware of the logic of the process and what those who will seek votes need.
They don't need a team that doesn't reflect what they want, that has no experience, that doesn't tell them anything, that has been left aside, that has felt powerless or disconnected from the figures they are used to and want new figures.
And if there is one thing that has kept us going, it has been the capacity to change without waiting for people to throw us in the trash like in 2005, so let's change because this is the socialist DNA.
I wanted to share these with you, of course because of the great importance of these elections, but I believe that everyone in the hall, under this roof or even those who are absent, needs the mandate of the SP, and one more thing, the new scheme that the SP government will have, but that is for another day.
We are closing the process with the political leaders and I believe that we will conclude it before the deadline so that there is as complete a picture as possible, in the presentation we will make to the public and I believe that I have been clear. Thank you very much !", said the Prime Minister .
