Rama and Spiropali
Journalist Ardit Rada, commenting on the change of nearly half of the government, said that since Prime Minister Edi Rama appointed Minister Ervin Demon to the US Peace Board, it was understood that he would remove Elisa Spiropali.
According to Rada, Spiropali attempted to challenge Rama during recent meetings in Kosovo, and received a response from the head of government.
"I do not believe that the change of Ms. Spiropali comes because of what is supposed in the media, that there is a fight with Ms. Balluku, but the election of Feri Hoxha at the head of the Foreign Ministry only improves the Foreign Ministry. Now for Ms. Spiropali, if you want a concrete comment, it was obvious when Edi Rama went to the Peace Board in Washington and took Ervin Demon with him. From here we should have understood that the Foreign Minister is not being taken abroad, but a peripheral minister of the government cabinet is being taken. On the other hand, you should have understood, or I myself should have understood, that at the moment Spiropali is competing with Rama, and holds 20 meetings, he holds 1 or 2 more meetings than Rama. Competition in a democracy is dangerous, especially when competing within the government. It is not revenge, but Spiropali tried to go higher than Rama and several ministers and got the answer", said Rada on the show "Off the Record" on A2CNN.
