Elisa Spiropali calls for the opening of the Socialist Party and a completely new Albania. 

Journalist Ylli Rakipi asked the Secretary General of the Socialist Party, Blendi Klosi, about these requests and the 11-point document submitted by the former minister. 

Excerpts from the conversation: 

Ylli Rakipi: If we had an SP years ago, in which important people, politicians, intellectuals, stood out, now they are counted on the fingers. The way they enter is very strange. Even arrogant. I don't care about Koçek who you took and now wants protagonism, you put the first one there. Now we take someone else, who you pumped, is Elisa Spiropali, one of the most important people in the SP. Inflated and pumped by Rama, she used to say Skënderbe and now she has announced 11 points and wants a new Albania. How is that done? Do you join this? 

Blendi Klosi : You started with the PS part. The whole society has become more open, with voices speaking, people coming forward, being identified, you're talking about the time when there were 1-2 newspapers. 

Ylli Rakipi : There were intellectuals at that time. 

Blendi Klosi : Now people come out every day, talk, discuss what the value is...

Ylli Rakipi: After that, we have the part about the DP's mulization. You have also been mulized. 

Blendi Klosi : The times are such that they do not allow for the creation of strong elites with positions. 

Migen Qiraxhi: Doesn't the mayor prevent it? 

Blendi Klosi: The system creates space for young people, they have their own feelings, mindsets, problems, and qualities. The system that came to us in the negotiation for the electoral system was a closed and open list. On the open list, they put those who had a mandate, and on the closed list, to give them guarantees, they put a group of young colleagues. 

Ermir Gjinishi: Because they had no attributes and zero social product. 

Blendi Klosi: Mrs. Koceku did not come as an unknown person, but was in a community. 

Ermir Gjinishi: They need to have known contributions, not just known by the neighborhood. They need to find themselves represented. 

Blendi Klosi: There is no official document that has come to our headquarters (of Spiropali). Making the status is the easiest thing. I think it is a discussion of the moment. Accusing the SP of opening. How can it be more open than that? 

Ermir Gjinishi: How is it possible that you have been so open, and the level is so low? Take away Mr. Klos, the people who have participated in the public debate have been completely banal people, they arrogantly rush at people. 

Blendi Klosi: No, not at all. You've been coming out for 30 years and you're going to debate with a person who's coming out for the first time. Ms. Koçeku represented all of them. 

Ylli Rakipi: Spiropali also spoke about free media. He sent you over 20 pages. 

Blendi Klosi: He hasn't sent it yet. He hasn't submitted it. 

Ylli Rakipi: He also demands changes in the media. 

Blendi Klosi : He hasn't officially submitted it. 

Ylli Rakipi: It talks about "commitments for Albania in the next decade." 

Andi Tela : She submits the resolution, what happens? 

Blendi Klosi : When we reach that moment, we will judge. 

Andi Tela: What are you going to do with this Spiropali? 

Migen Qiraxhi : Because the mayor requested this. 

Blendi Klosi: We need to get to know the document once and for all. When it finds support in the party forums, the material is presented according to statutory norms.
