Ermal Nufi is officially the new "captain" of the socialists in Lezha and was introduced tonight to the structures there. Freshly arrived at the base after taking over the portfolio of Minister of Defense, Nufi appeared alongside Ulsi Manja to take over the baton, swearing for "double responsibility" and "commitment in every cell".
In his first appearance, Nufi did not spare praise for his "comrade and friend" Manja, but between the lines it is understood that not just a new name has come to Lezha, but an extension of Balluk's true power, as Manja returns to Debar.
If anyone has any doubts about his fate, just look at the trajectory: from the offices of Belinda Balluku's cabinet, Nufi was catapulted with dizzying speed as her deputy in the Ministry of Defense as soon as she left the government. Now, with Rama's blessing, he takes the reins of a difficult district, confirming that "Belinda's Star" does not shine only in Tirana's ministries, but is extending its influence wherever the government needs certified loyalty.
Lezha, as of today, is officially under new "protection".
Likewise in Shkodra, another Beniamin of Balluk, Enea Karakaçi, was introduced as the new political leader of the region.
