At noon on Thursday, an e-mail circulated in the press claiming that the European Socialist Party has banned Ilir Meta from participating in the congress that is expected to take place in Berlin in mid-October.
The news circulated in the press that Meta was banned from participating because of his cooperation with Sali Berisha.
“Dear Ilir, thank you for your interest in the PSE Congress, which will be held in Berlin on October 14-15. However, as a result of your recent decisions and political alliance, we ask you not to attend the Congress. The PSE Congress welcomes presentations from progressive parties to share their vision for European policies that are based on our core values, democracy, freedom, equality, peace and justice. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please keep in mind that it was not an easy decision”, says the e-mail.
The reaction from the Freedom Party was also prompt, underlining that nothing that is being said in the press is true.
FP claimed that Meta has neither asked to be invited somewhere in Berlin nor has he asked for an invitation.
“A flagrant, unfortunate case of how, in an obvious lack of professionalism, a media has been captured and is at the complete service of the Government’s dirty propaganda 24/27, openly spreading misinformation by lying to its readers day in and day out, with such a stupid deception. Ilir Meta did not even ask to be invited somewhere in Berlin, nor did he ask for any invitation because he has very important work to do here in Albania!” read the reaction.
The Freedom Party also highlighted that the e-mail that is claimed to have been received as a response from the European party, “was not sent to the Freedom Party address, but to the address [email protected], to the email of Ralf Gjoni and a fake address of Monika Kryemadhi, which does not exist: [email protected]”.
