New parliamentary season/ Analyst: Dramatic situation, no blocking opposition
Analyst Arion Sulo, invited to the "Now" show with Erla Më...

The head of the Brain Gain department, Andi Mustafaj, announced his departure from the department's management through a post on social media.
In his status, Mustafaj says that this is a decision presented in March of this year with the aim of not appropriating the structure according to Mustafaj.
The head of Brain Gain in the DP says that if a leader stays too long, he endangers the structure itself.
Mustafaj's announcement
Dear Friends, I think the time is now appropriate to share with you the message I sent to the members of the Brain Gain Department on March 5, 2025 regarding my decision (as well as the reasons) to leave the Department's leadership in November of this year.
I emphasize the importance of the date (time before the campaign began) to leave no room for any misinterpretation, misuse or misunderstanding of this decision to the detriment of the Democrats. This decision has been and is my next contribution to proving that the Democratic Party is the home of those who want to change Albania.
Thank you.
"Dear members of the Brain Gain Department,
During our joint journey, I have tried to create the conditions so that at every step we can be the counterexample we want to see in Albania.
I believe we can modestly say that we have achieved this in terms of group strength, creation of spaces, meritocracy, positive spirit, battle of ideas, exaltation of symbols, etc.
Even though a crucial issue is slowly approaching where some of us have already chosen our own form of intensifying political engagement, my duty as leader is to remain attentive to the department's progress and its principles.
Therefore, in order to guarantee meritocracy and transparency, I must timely announce to each of you an important decision: Paving the way for the leadership of the Department in November of this year.
This month's selection coincides with 3 years of my leadership, a time which, for an administrative-type position (as opposed to a political position), I feel is sufficient to implement my ideas and vision, as well as to create dynamics without falling prey to monotony or adopting the structure.
Meritocracy implies the opportunity to reach the top, and if an administrative leader stands by too long blocking the opportunity for competition, this feeling disappears from the members, endangering the structure itself.
I chose right now to inform you of this decision of mine, not only to sever and exclude any connection of this decision with any future steps I have taken in my political journey, but most importantly, to create the opportunity for anyone who wishes to run for the leadership of the Department to have sufficient time to prepare and project themselves into the race.
Consequently:
• Next September, we will once again confirm our membership as we did last year (this is a standard that should be inherited).
• In October, we will create campaign conditions where we can hold debates, presentations, etc.
• In November we will hold elections for the leadership of the Department.
Thank you all once again for this wonderful journey. The work continues.
Proud of you all!
With respect,
"Andy"
