The debates in Parliament have continued, this time between Belind Këlliçi, Niko Peleshi and former Foreign Minister Elisa Spiropali.
The Democratic MP "stabbed" Peles, reminding him that the sudden dismissal of Spiropal has forced the Speaker to radicalize. He called Spiropal part of the English-speaking club in the Socialist Party, while adding that the Speaker of the Assembly could also be concerned about other possible moves.
But the former Foreign Minister's response was immediate. In response to Këlliçi, Elisa Spiropali said that her only regret was that her departure from the Government was announced in the Assembly hall by the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha.
"That's the only reason I'm surprised he brought it up, and nothing else," Spiropali said.
Replies to the Assembly
Belind Kelliçi: Niko, I thought you had reflected and taken into account the concerns of your partners, and the meetings you have had, as you are among the few politicians you have received in the US. But, the departure of the Foreign Minister as part of the English-speaking club in the Socialist Party, has apparently forced you to radicalize due to some internal concern you may have.
Let me say that I have not been in Parliament for 3 months. You tried to take away our voice. I understand your approach. This also goes with the SP project to take away the voice and halve the voice of the opposition. You have excluded Shehaj for 20 days, when he has done nothing. Don't be a shield for corruption. I asked for the request for the measure against Balluk to be implemented. This is what Brussels and the internationals are demanding. It is absurd to prevent the opposition from responding. You interrupted Zhupa's speech. I have not been in the session for 3 months, the conduct of this session is shameful. The chairman of the SP group gets up, insults the chairman of the DP group and the white man is drawn to attention. Let's get back to normal in this session. Leave the conflicts behind. Stand up to your duty.
Elisa Spiropali: I don't just speak English, I speak other languages. I don't speak any other language better than Albanian. I speak well, bluntly. Every duty in the Albanian Parliament is an honor. I am clear, calm. The only thing I regret is that Berisha announced my departure and not someone else. That's why I'm surprised that he even said it, and nothing else!
