The National Assembly of the Socialist Party always has elements of surprise, especially when it comes to the names proposed for ministers by Prime Minister Edi Rama. But, in addition to the surprise for ordinary citizens, these surprises are often also for the people who are proposed.

Thus, we are bringing some spicy moments from the reactions of the Rama government's MPs, who were nominated for ministerial positions, or for government posts, or were left without a post.

While Prime Minister Rama proposes Niko Peles as Speaker of the Assembly, the latter remains stoic and grateful, while the proposed Deputy Speaker of the Assembly, Klodiana Spahiu, appears more than happy, as the news came to her unexpectedly.

A completely different reaction was that of Elisa Spiropali, who appeared upset as Rama introduced Pelesh to the post of Speaker of Parliament. Spiropali "got her colors" after Rama gave her the post of Foreign Minister, while on the other hand Igli Hasani appeared upset after being left without a ministerial post.

Balluku appeared serious, after Rama left the same duties to the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Energy. While her colleagues waited anxiously for the next names.

Albana Koçiu also appears distrustful of the new position that Rama has entrusted to her, that of Minister of Interior, while Ervin Hoxha is seen chewing his tongue after Koçiu "left" him without a ministry.

Another surprised person is Petrit Malaj, after Rama kept him as Minister of Finance. Blendi Gonxhja appeared relieved to have taken a ministerial position. On the surface, it seems that it matters little to him that Rama moved him from a ministry like the Economy and Innovation to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. This ministry will now be headed by Delina Ibrahimaj, who is seen taking a deep breath after discovering that she "caught" a ministerial position.

One of the people who is seen more surprised than others is Besfort Lamallari, when he realizes that Rama has made him Minister of Justice. Lamallari is seen adjusting his collar and embarrassed by the new task that the government's number one has entrusted to him, while Ulsi Manja seems upset that he will only hold the position of chairman of the Laws Committee. /CNA
