"War within the species"/ Braçe: I have lost friends

The second most voted candidate in Tirana on the SP list, Erion Braçe, has revealed that he has lost friends due to the May 11 race.

Invited to the show "This Week", Braçe said that he felt like he was in the same boat as his political opponent.

"The open list was a double competition, a competition with the opposition in the first place, but also a competition within your constituency, within your party. If the first is traditional, the second is definitely difficult, especially for me, because I have a principle that I do not want to lose friends and comrades for an electoral competition. In both aspects it became difficult, also due to the fact that the opposition was not non-existent as they say. In one unit 5 there was the entire spectrum of the opposition. On the other side, there were colleagues who had been in the area for four years, some even more than four years, while I had only 2 months and a few days. I did not have time to get to know Tirana, let alone to campaign, despite the fact that I live in Tirana, but I was focused on my electoral area (Divjakë).

Of course I felt the challenge, but my biggest concern was not losing friends in this story. From Divjaka to Tirana I have lost friends. There is no triumph in politics, you can win a race, but after a week you can lose your popularity. There is no triumphant in politics. You have run a race, you have received a job contract and you go to work. So, I have no problem with the race, even within the party. Promoting yourself is a completely legitimate thing, but slandering others, especially within a party, is not normal. That is why I do not like this system for this reason, "declared Braçe.

Asked if he had any disappointments during this competition, Braçe said:

"I definitely had it. I said it, as long as I lost friends. The names don't matter. This is mine, it's personal. It definitely affected the campaign because it destabilizes you. Words like: what do you want with that, he won't be elected MP, Rama doesn't want him, he can't get the votes. We were there, we fought together, we stood by each other, what are you doing, for a MP seat?", he said./ CNA
