Andis Harasani's passing, politicians share memories and messages of

The untimely passing of the former socialist MP has sparked numerous reactions. Left-wing and right-wing politicians, as well as various personalities, have shared messages of condolence on social media for his loss.

One of them is Socialist MP Erion Braçe, who appreciates his former colleague and shares moments from the time they met, his work as head of KESH, and his legislative voice in the Assembly when he was a Socialist MP.

"I met Andis Harasani in 2004; he was the head of KESH! I met him in his office, for work of course; The Berat area had suffered from a lack of investment in energy infrastructure and I asked him to change this approach; He did not change the approach, he changed the entire investment plan, the works outright; 50 new electrical cabins - together with the relevant lines, were installed for the first time in the entire Çelebias neighborhood! We maintained a good relationship from that day on; Fatos Nano wanted to do it - and not only, as a member of the PS steering committee, By voting, but he did not win - almost all the proposed ones did not win at the start of the long 2005, but he did not get upset; It takes work to get here, he told me. He won a terrible race in 2005 in Tirana, he won convincingly twice, two mandates - one from the opposition; Many lost, even the PS lost, he won!

In the Assembly I had him by my side, in the Economy and Finance Committee and plenary sessions; engaged almost exclusively in the economy, energy economy as well; In the photo, he is at the stand of the socialist group in the assembly and I am happy that at that time he was the voice of the SP for them! Since 2012, things have become distant only because of the distance; I still have the message here on December 28, 2018: I am happy for you, uncle! A second one in a moment burst for me: Don't run away, don't make my mistake! I will keep them here forever; Like the memory of the good deeds that I left, in my Berat: Your good deeds, uncle, your deeds! May God be with you, brother!

Condolences for the passing of the former socialist MP have also been shared by Republican Fatmir Mediu, who emphasizes that they had different political beliefs, but shared a special friendship.

"With deep sorrow I received the news that Andis Harasani passed away in New York from a serious illness. We may have shared different political beliefs, but we maintained a special friendship when Andis was in Albania and later when he left for America. On February 12, Andis wrote to me to ask how I was, and he told me that I had a tumor, then we talked on the phone for the first time where he told me about his serious illness and told me that he was being treated at "Sloan Kettering in New York", he was tired and very weak from the illness but he was still strong and hopeful. Andis was a rare friend and in his difficult moments he still had the care and advice of a wise man. Rest in peace my friend, although far from your land and country. May God give strength to your wife and family to overcome this very difficult moment. "May your memory be unforgettable, good friend, always available with a big heart for anyone who was in trouble," writes Mediu.
