Koçek leaves the SP, revolt erupts: Surrender your mandate, enter the

Marjana Koçek's departure from the Socialist Party parliamentary group has caused a revolt among the socialists. Left-wing voices accuse the MP of ingratitude and political hypocrisy, demanding that she hand over the mandate she won thanks to the closed list of the Socialist Party in Shkodra.

Student Helena Kaçe, who opened the SP Congress, emphasizes that political independence does not begin by holding the mandate, but by handing it over, as the votes that brought Koçek to the Assembly were votes for the SP and its program.

"There is a kind of hypocrisy and ingratitude in politics. To enter Parliament through closed lists, with the votes and commitment of a party, and then to remember that 'ideals and moral boundaries' push you to emerge independent. True independence does not begin by handing over the card and holding the chair.

Start by handing over your mandate. Because those votes that brought you to Parliament were from people who voted for a political logo and vision.

If your ideals no longer align with that political house, the most principled step is to return the mandate to those who trusted you. Good luck on your new journey, Marjana, as an independent, if you did the right thing: Hand over the mandate !

Along the same lines, Tirana Municipal Council member Alfred Muharremi declares that if the MP no longer represents the Socialist Party, then she should also give up her mandate.

According to him, the mandate is not personal property, but a trust given by the voters and the party structure that put him in Parliament.

"I appreciate Ms. Koçeku's decision to join a cause that she has chosen to call her own today. However, it is difficult not to notice that all those causes that she passionately reveals today were there yesterday, the day before yesterday, and even the day when she agreed to become part of the Socialist Party of Albania as a safe MP in one of the most difficult political areas of the SP.

When the causes required a parliamentary battle, she had and still has a mandate, a voice, a card and a microphone. Today, after having enjoyed the privileges of representation, she chooses to leave, acting as if she had just discovered reality. If she believes that she no longer represents the Socialist Party, then the political act does not end with the surrender of the card (which I do not know if she has) but with the surrender of the mandate.

"The mandate is not a personal suitcase that is taken with you every time you change your destination or the thoughts of your political adolescence. It is trust given by a community, by a team and by a political force like Shkodra, where the socialists there have fought for it to be in the Assembly. So dear Marian, good luck, but hand over the mandate! The others will then fly like flamingos. Some towards the horizon, some towards the cameras. Time will tell where they will land," he writes.
