Blendi Klosi, the Socialist Party’s Secretary-General, commented on the political situation in the country on the program Now with Erla Mëhilli, focusing on the citizens’ protest that has been ongoing for 31 days. According to him, Edi Rama cannot enter into negotiations when the other side is demanding the government’s removal.
Klosi said that the only request made by Edi Rama and the government has been for both sides to sit down, talk, and listen to the concerns raised by the protesters, as well as those related to their demands toward the government. He said this has been the majority’s only approach.

He added that there had been an opportunity from the very first day to create a representative group, but stressed that at present there is only one demand: the government’s resignation. According to Klosi, it is unclear how a government can sit down to negotiate with people aiming to topple it, in order to discuss that very overthrow.
He further stated that there are groups demanding the government’s resignation every day and that this is nothing unusual. According to him, this does not mean the government should resign.
In the end, Klosi said that they themselves have held more protests than the current demonstrators, recalling that they stayed there day and night for days on end. He also added that Berisha did not resign either.
