According to Malaj, this same model is needed today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it wants to build a state, SP needs to divide power. It needs to divide its power with the constitutional institutions and it needs to divide the government too.<\/p>\n<p>If Rama doesn\u2019t divide his power with DP, let him divide it with the wise people of this country, who don\u2019t have to come from the ranks of SP, but they simply need to have integrity and intellect and not be amongst those that just nod their heads and keep pushing our state down a declining slope,\u201d said Malaj.<\/p>\n<p>According to Malaj, the biggest issue with the new government is the fact that it doesn\u2019t have any political representatives, including the new minister of finance, and former-chair of the directorate of taxation, Delina Ibrahimaj, who he argued was simply a politically appointed individual, instead of a true professional.<\/p>\n<p>Malaj added that the economic policies instated by the Rama administration have been wrong, starting from the overly harsh fines all the way to favoring a limited group of people that are close to the political arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll levels of power are positioned in a way that serves and caters to Rama. Public funds are put to the disposal of the least amount of hands and the least amount of politicians and oligarchs that only keep on wearing down our economy,\u201d said Malaj.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/02\/who-are-the-new-ministers-of-the-government-rama-3\/\">Who are the new ministers of Rama\u2019s 3rd-term cabinet?<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/02\/damian-gjiknuri-to-replace-taulant-balla-as-new-secretary-general-of-the-sp\/\">Damian Gjiknuri to replace Taulant Balla as new Secretary-General of the SP<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/09\/02\/socialist-partys-assembly-kicks-off-new-cabinet-set-to-be-revealed\/\">Socialist Party\u2019s Assembly kicks off, PM Rama reveals ambitions for a fourth term<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former finances minister, Arber Malaj told Euronews Albania that the new Socialist-led government shouldn\u2019t keep all power to itself.
