“I decided to personally thank my friends, Ilir Meta and Edi Rama, for reaching this agreement and communicate our best wishes on behalf of the European Parliament and the Socialist left parties, so that they can leave the past behind and start a new path.
The problems of this country are many. There is a high unemployment rate and a high public debt. This makes us say that the best solution is to unite all forces. We must see the unification of the Albanian left parties, and this is the guarantee that there will be a new government focused on integration. We must turn the dream of the Albanians to reality, ini order to be closer to Europe. The new alliance of left parties will help us a lot in this direction. I guaranteed a strong support to Meta and Rama”, Pittella declared.

For Ilir Meta, who gave his first interview from the opposition, it is possible to vote the three integration laws in this parliamentary session.

“SMI started this day as an opposition force, but with the main goal to contribute to the country’s stability and to accelerate the EU integration process, which could take a new impulse within this mandate. I believe that we have all the possibilities to progress with this”, Meta declared.
