Shehaj after meeting the EU ambassador: Change cannot be stopped by violence and political deals

Agron Shehaj, leader of the Mundësia Party, met today with the European Union’s ambassador to Tirana, Sofia Moreira de Sousa.

In a social media post sharing details of the conversation, Shehaj said he was convinced that the historic change Albanians are demanding cannot be blocked. He said citizens want more than ever to put an end to a 35-year-old political class and see corrupt officials punished.

“Albania is facing a historic change, demanded by society on a massive scale: the departure of the old, 35-year-old political class and the corrupt being brought to justice. This process cannot be stopped. We conveyed this message today to the EU ambassador to Tirana, Ms. Sofia Moreira de Sousa,” Shehaj wrote.

He added that Prime Minister Edi Rama would not succeed in stopping citizens’ protests or putting the justice system under pressure. Shehaj also stressed that there could be no dialogue or agreement at the table with Rama.

“Edi Rama cannot obstruct this change through violence against protesters, attempts to bring the justice system under his control, or political deals. There can be no talks, agreements, or deals with Edi Rama. There is only one demand: resignation!” Shehaj said.

The leader of the Mundësia Party was accompanied at the meeting by MP Erald Kapri and the party’s Secretary General, Barbara Doda.
