The "Albania Becomes" movement, which is competing in the May 11 parliamentary elections in coalition with Nisma Thurje, claims that its candidates for MPs with teaching professions are being blackmailed by the principals of the schools where they work and the relevant Local Education Offices.
The Vice President of the Albania Becomes Movement, lawyer Dorina Prethi, states that teachers who run for MP on her party's lists have been threatened with suspension from duty, based on Article 8 of Law 69/2012 "On Pre-University Education", which states that educational institutions and their employees are depoliticized and that a teacher's run for MP is a political activity.
The "Albania Becomes" movement calls on its candidates for MPs, with teaching professions, not to fall prey to this blackmail, as the Constitution guarantees that everyone has the right to elect and be elected, and the Constitution prevails over any regulation and law, such as Law 69/2012 "On Pre-University Education".
" A thunderbolt from the ruling party to all teachers running with the Albania Movement in the 2025 parliamentary elections. According to our Constitution, everyone has the right to elect and be elected. Even teachers. But in recent days, based on a regulation of the Ministry of Education, virtually all our teachers feel intimidated, threatened and blackmailed because they have been called to the offices of school directors or have been sent an email, without an official letter, without a header, without a signature, according to which they are asked to be suspended from their work as teachers and this will also have financial consequences. But I want to encourage all teachers not to give up their duty because a simple regulation cannot override the Constitution. Our laws have a hierarchy and the hierarchy must be respected", says Prethi.
