"It is likely that she is a victim of some statements that came out of the Foreign Ministry's office and that did not converge with the same line as that of the Prime Minister," said Kikia.
The recent cabinet changes announced by Prime Minister Edi Rama have sparked debate over their rationale and logic. Analyst Mentor Kikia described the moves as unexpected, noting that the government had only been in office for six months.
According to him, this period is not enough to draw conclusions on the performance of ministers or the implementation of their projects. He noted that changes in the government remain the competence of the prime minister and are not discussed in advance in political forums.
Kikia argued that most of the restructuring is related to the departure of Belinda Balluku, who held both the position of Deputy Prime Minister and a ministerial portfolio. According to him, after her departure, there was a need to separate functions, by choosing a Deputy Prime Minister without a ministerial portfolio.
He considered the appointment of Ms. Koçiu to the post of Deputy Prime Minister as a choice related to the Prime Minister's trust in her. Koçiu has previously held high-ranking positions in the administration and headed the Ministry of Interior, where, according to Kiki, Rama aimed to orient the institution towards administrative issues.
A former deputy minister, who previously covered crimes against the person and had a brief experience in the Ministry of Justice, returned to head the Ministry of Interior.
The analyst also touched on the departure of Foreign Minister Elisa Spiropali, which he described as the most unexpected development. He said that she had a close political relationship with the prime minister and that the move could be linked to positions or statements that were not in line with those of the head of government.
Mentor Kikia: In fact, the moves were unexpected, considering the fact that the government had only been in place for six months, and all cabinet members did not have enough time available to prove whether they had performed poorly or well.
If they had projects or platforms to implement, to judge later whether they were successful or failed.
So there was little time to draw conclusions about the outcome of the ministers' work.
So no one expected there to be movement, but, as always happens, changes in the government are not predictable, for others except for the prime minister who has the power to make them, they are not discussed in political forums, who should leave and why they should leave and who should come and why they should come, in relation to what they represent in the technical, political and professional aspects.
So, it was one of the next moves that Rama has systematically made in the government cabinet.
The Veng has a longer lifespan in, in government, whatever it may be.
I believe that the other changes were imposed in some way by the movements that were made in the context of the Balluku issue, as someone would have been needed to take the position of deputy prime minister.
Rama has chosen not to have someone who also holds the portfolio of a minister, as was the case with Ms. Balluku, or as was previously the case with Mr. Ahmetaj, but rather to choose someone who will only hold the portfolio of deputy prime minister, as Mr. Braçe did for a short time.
Ms. Koçiu is one of Prime Minister Rama's most trusted people. She has been a high-level official in the prime minister's office for a long time, having been the director of the Internal Service and the Department of Public Administration.
She then held several portfolios and was recently entrusted with the Ministry of Interior, and if we remember, when she took office, she was the first woman to hold this position.
However, Rama tried to make her duty more civil in relation to the state police, the fight against crime and so on, telling her that the police deal with this work, the Ministry of Interior should look into it, deal with the issue of addresses, referring to the urban chaos in Albania, the lack of orientation and so on.
But after six months, he entrusts her with the position of Deputy Prime Minister, who precisely because she is the person who will sign on behalf of the Prime Minister.
Mr. Rama has long delegated his signature to the Deputy and many decisions, drafts, acts that have been issued by the Council of Ministers today bear the signature of Mrs. Balluku, who was Deputy Prime Minister, and will now bear the signature of Mrs. Koçiu.
And a former Deputy Minister of Interior who was responsible for the issue of crimes against the person, such as Mr. Lamallari, who had modest experience at the Ministry of Justice, returns to the Ministry of Interior.
So, these are movements that were dictated and imposed by Ms. Balluku's movement, which vacated two seats simultaneously and this turmoil occurred.
Yes, the unexpected thing was precisely the move of Foreign Minister Elisa Spiropali.
Spiropali is a political student of Edi Rama, she is, let's say, raised politically by Rama.
She had an absolutely very close relationship with Rama and for this reason she has even become or maintained a public cost due to the political adoration she publicly displayed.
She publicly displayed this kind of political adoration for Rama. That's why her move was, it was unexpected and unforeseen.
It is likely that she is a victim of several statements that came out of the Foreign Ministry's office and that did not converge with the same line as that of the Prime Minister.
