Lapaj-Shabani "Fight" for the mandate/ "Albania Becomes": We

After the clashes between Endri Shabani and Adriatik Lapaj for the seat of MP in the next Parliament, the "Albania Becomes" Movement has reacted.

In the reaction of the Adriatik Lapaj movement, it is said that they are being harassed by the system and by those who serve them as spokespeople.

Further in its reaction, the movement says that it demands that the pre-election agreement be implemented. In response, the "Albania Becomes" Movement states that it is awaiting reflection and a meeting for a solution from the other party in the coalition, represented by Endri Shabani and Pano Soko.

" In light of recent events and content published online, we would like to clarify that we do not represent or support any form of offensive, threatening or violent language that conflicts with our values.

We call on all our followers, sympathizers, activists, and members engaged with us to reject the language of violence at all times, regardless of the emotional burden of any injustice.

But, we want to be equally clear about another truth:

In this story, the only victims are the 64,000 citizens who voted for us and the hundreds of our activists who gave everything in this battle.

We sincerely regret the situation created regarding the mandate issue and assure you that we are not shirking our responsibility, but are making every honest effort not to disappoint you and to maintain the trust you have placed in us.

Because for us, fair competition and meritocracy are the two pillars on which “Albania is Made” was built. They were the only weapons we had against a rotten system. It was these two principles that inspired 64,000 citizens to support us selflessly.

That is why they are being targeted today, with precise aim, both by the system's usual snipers and by those who serve as their spokespeople.

If our mistake is reaching out for cooperation, you can judge us! We are simply asking that the pre-election agreement be implemented as we presented it to the citizens during the campaign. It is precisely that point that proves our approach to the race.

We emphasize that we will not give up on the belief that fair competition is the only way to restore faith in democracy. Beyond any blackmail and deceit, inside and outside the system, we will stand.

We are waiting for reflection and a meeting for solutions from the other side in the Coalition. We consider this a moment that must be overcome as a duty to our voters. We are waiting for Mr. Shabani and Mr. Soko to address it with prudence and continue working on the local elections.

Because we will not abandon the path we have started, " the reaction states./ CNA
