Independent MP Marjana Koçeku, Opportunity Party MP Erald Kapri, and DP Deputy Chairman Nikola Kedhi, had a meeting today at the US embassy with senior American officials from Washington.
The three young opposition figures seem to be a no-brainer choice. Sources say that the meeting discussed the political situation in Albania, including the accumulated dissatisfaction expressed through popular protests.
Among the prominent young MPs in this political situation, Marjana Koçeku has had numerous meetings with foreign diplomats, and has appeared in the most important international media to talk about the situation in Albania and the protest. Also, Erald Kapri is among the most prominent young MPs in the Albanian Parliament, engaged in supporting the protest. Likewise, Nikola Kedhi is among the most active young people of the DP.
The meeting also takes on importance because of the political moment in which it takes place. The majority continues its battle with justice, as former officials and senior officials of the socialist government are accused of corruption. The National Assembly of the Socialist Party, which takes place this Saturday and where changes are expected, perhaps with the aim of retouching mistakes, seems like an attempt to quell the massive dissatisfaction that exists among the people. Meanwhile, the student protest continues and the students have consistently rejected the dialogue requested by the prime minister.
The presence of three new opposition representatives in a meeting with American officials from Washington is a development that attracts attention, especially for the political signals it may convey.
