Former MP Dashamir Shehi, invited to the studio of the show "Kjo Javë", commented on the current political situation in the country, focusing on the meeting held today by the Socialist Party parliamentary group at the Brigades Palace and the speech by Prime Minister Edi Rama.

According to Shehi, Prime Minister Rama no longer has the same atmosphere and credibility regarding the European integration process. He said that in his speech Rama sent dangerous signals in relation to Western allies. "Rama sent a signal that, if we don't need you, we have China. This is a dangerous topic," Shehi declared, adding that this approach resembles the practices of the past.

The former MP compared this rhetoric to the policy of isolation followed by the Enver Hoxha regime, which according to him moved between Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union and China, depending on interests. "It's not that China doesn't have money, but this is the story that Enver Hoxha was telling. We are a drop in the ocean in geopolitics," Shehi stressed, underlining that Albania has no weight to play with international balances.

He added that Rama is trying to create the idea that he controls international support, but according to Shehi, this is an illusion. "Those who support me, he says, I support from the internationals, but his mind is lying in vain, it will not reach him," the former MP said.

In his analysis, Shehi also focused on the symbolism of the place where the SP parliamentary group meeting took place. He considered it inappropriate to hold it in the Brigades Palace, emphasizing that it is “the palace of the people and not of the government or a political party.” “What does the parliamentary group want there? There is no group hall? There are as many halls as you want, the government has one too,” he said.

According to Shehi, the choice of this environment was intended to give courage to the socialist deputies and convey a message of strength. "Why gather them there? To scare them, to tell them that 'we are the power'. Don't be afraid, follow the leader and we will overcome this too," concluded Shehi, describing this as an attempt to consolidate political control in difficult times for the majority.
