I am in my own habitat and that\u2019s where my roots are. In Elbasan you may find all the failures of this government\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to journalist Ilva Tare, he said that he feels \u201csaddened\u201d by the current state of the Albanian Assembly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot stand the low level of doing politics in the Albanian parliament. I am appalled when I hear people in the parliament that do not know how to read, they\u2019re illiterate, these are our lawmakers and they have the country\u2019s fate at hand. Nothing cam have an individual value if your country is not heading where it should. I cannot separate personal interest from that of my own country\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also listed the main reasons that convinced him to race under the banner of the Socialist Movement for Integration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never been a member of any party. I believed that Edi Rama would have been a different prime minister. Why did I go to the SMI? Firstly, I think that pluralism in a democratic party begins with the parties. SMI is a movement, it\u2019s a very open party and in our lists, you may find exceptional people. It is a party connected with the youth, while today\u2019s main crisis is exactly the massive leaving of the youth. I see myself quite well\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/03\/30\/smis-list-hides-incriminated-candidates-taulant-balla-also-talks-about-us-ambassadors-visit-in-elbasan\/\">\u201cSMI\u2019s list hides incriminated candidates\u201d, Taulant Balla also talks about US Ambassador\u2019s visit in Elbasan<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/03\/30\/will-majko-and-xhafaj-make-it-or-break-it-analysts-bushati-and-haxhiu-bring-their-arguments\/\">Will Majko and Xhafaj make it or break it?
