Erion Braçe Speaks About Clashes Within the Socialist Party: They Want to Push Me Out of Politics

During Wednesday’s edition of “Now with Erla Mëhilli,” Erion Braçe commented on the disputes within the Socialist Party. He said that an internal battle is taking place within the party and that some people are trying to eliminate him politically.

Braçe said his messages are made public with the aim of humiliating him, which he described as very serious. According to him, a discussion leaked from a meeting of the Parliamentary Group had also been altered before being presented to the public as: “He told him to fuck off.” He insisted that the incident had not happened that way and that it had been published to target him politically.

The MP said the person who leaked the information wants to remove him from the Parliamentary Group’s internal arena, where that person has seen him for years and regards him as a rival and a problem. Braçe added that he himself has no issue with anyone’s presence and views these people as colleagues.

When Erla Mëhilli asked whether Edi Rama could be behind this, Braçe replied that it was not him, stressing that they were there to speak openly.

He then cited an incident that occurred nearly 46 days earlier, when female MPs were pelted with eggs. Braçe said he had written in the group that the police should be notified and had also spoken up in support of the women, but his message was relayed to the media with the interpretation that he had called for police intervention.

According to Braçe, such conduct has not been directed only against him, as others like him have experienced the same thing. He said he considers these actions attempts to eliminate him, and that this is precisely why he has concluded that there is an internal battle within the Socialist Party.
