Prime Minister Edi Rama stopped today in a meeting with the residents of Gjirokastra, where he thanked them for the votes on May 14.
During his speech, Rama said that the trust given to the SP in the local elections should not be taken as a vote that they are satisfied, but that even though they are not satisfied, they have expectations of them, and that they should work for this as well harder.
"It's not a vote of satisfaction, they didn't vote for us so massively that they are satisfied... we have to understand this very well if we want to not fly as Earthquake says, 'not to fly with herbs from the back'. We have to understand that people are unhappy, this is the truth because there are many things to be unhappy about.
People have voted because despite being dissatisfied they still have high expectations of us and strongly believe that only we can do the things they expect.
This is no reason to be complacent and feel like we've made people happy. "We should feel challenged that a gauntlet has been thrown at us by a majority that, if you look at the votes, is the largest majority that voted for the SP," he said.
Also, the head of the executive added that there are still leaders who behave like patriots, and that if this continues, the May 14 vote could turn into an unimaginable blow.
"When I think that in our cities we still have state offices that slam the door in people's faces, that we still have services that are far from dignified, that we have state leaders who behave like flag bearers in state offices, this vote seems to me a faith of he exaggerated again to the people that there is a very big risk that if we don't reward this trust, it can come back to us in a blow that no one can imagine", he said.
