At the end of the Socialist Party parliamentary group meeting, the Speaker of the Assembly, Elisa Spiropali, warned the SP deputies that the Democrats will raise the arrest of Erion Veliaj as an issue in the session, which she reportedly called "bad news" for us, writes A2 CNN.
However, it is not reported that Spiropali has given directives on the stance that MPs should take.
At the start of the session, journalists rushed to extract any comments from the socialist deputies. Pandeli Majko chose not to speak, while Nasip Naço and Xhemal Qefalia briefly said that "we must let justice do its job." (A2 Televizion)
