Prime Minister Edi Rama's request to expel Elisa Spiropali and Plarent Ndreca from the Socialist Party has caused controversy within the Socialist Party's National Assembly. Three prominent socialist figures, Pandeli Majko, Erion Braçe and Fatmir Xhafaj, have expressed reservations about this initiative, opposing the removal of the two members from the party.

Journalist Ergyr Gjençaj, referring to sources from the closed-door meeting, Pandeli Majko was against the exclusions, arguing that the Socialist Party should not turn into a political force that expels its members. “The Socialist Party should not become a party that excludes,” Majko said.

MP Erion Braçe is also positioned in the same line, who is reported to have said: "We are not a party that expels." Meanwhile, Fatmir Xhafaj has also opposed the request of the leading socialist Rama. According to reports, he has requested that measures be taken against Spiropali and Ndreca, but not to go as far as expelling them from the party.

The positions of the three socialists were revealed during discussions in the Assembly, where the proposal to remove the two figures has led to debates among party members and leaders. In conclusion, Elisa Spiropali and Plarent Ndreca continue to be members of the Socialist Party.
