Ervin Demo and Albana Koçiu will jointly lead the Socialist Party for the Municipality of Tirana. After today's decision of the Socialist National Assembly, the Minister of Interior, Ervin Demo, has also reacted.
In a post on social media shortly after the end of the Assembly meeting, Demo thanked Prime Minister Edi Rama and the members of the Assembly for the trust they had placed in him.
He emphasized that the priority will be to strengthen and organize socialist structures in every neighborhood, administrative unit and village of Tirana. According to him, the responsibility of the Socialist Party is towards all citizens of the capital, regardless of political beliefs.
Ervin Demos' full reaction:
Thank you to the leader of the Socialist Party, Edi Rama, and the members of the National Assembly for the trust they gave me and Albana Koçiu today to lead the Socialist Party together in the Municipality of Tirana.
Gratitude to every socialist for their work and dedication over the years.
Together with Albana, with the team of deputies of the Municipality of Tirana and with all our structures, we will commit to organizing and strengthening the Socialist Party in every neighborhood, administrative unit and village of Tirana.
An organization that relies on teamwork, individual responsibility, constant communication with citizens and concrete follow-up of their problems.
The citizens of Tirana have the right to demand more from us: better public services, safe schools for children, responsive institutions, and solutions to everyday concerns.
For me, this is where political work is measured: how close we are to the people, how much we know their problems, and how persistent we are in solving them.
We must listen even when the criticism is strong, accept what is not working, and work to improve it.
Together with MPs, leaders of structures and every member of the Socialist Party, we will build a way of working where everyone has clear responsibilities, where presence on the ground is daily and where every concern of citizens is followed up until a solution is found.
Our responsibility is to all citizens of Tirana, regardless of their political beliefs.
We will turn the trust we received today into organization, concrete work, and results for Tirana!
