The dubious portal with content in the Albanian language "todaynews80.com" published today (September 28) an article titled "Vetevendosja warns, it is likely that these figures will be removed from Vetevendosja".
After fact-checking conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the title of this article is false and does not match the content.
This article contains an interview with Vetëvendosje Movement MP Visar Korenica, who denied several media reports for "EkonomiaOnline.net" that he is part of a group of MPs who may abandon the ruling party.
So, there is no warning from Vetëvendosje about the departure of its members, as implied in the fabricated headline by the portal "todaynews80.com".
Link to the article published on the portal "todaynews80.com":
Korenica, in an interview with Ekonomia Online, announced that he will not leave Vetëvendosje and that he is not part of a group of MPs who may abandon it.
"I have reacted against the article that I have also left the VV and what was written is not true. The Vetevendosje Movement completed an electoral process on September 25 and the topic has nothing to do with the current political situation in the country. I am a deputy of the Movement and within the Presidency. There is no talk of leaving for my conviction. But what we are seeing is a tendency to divide the Parliamentary Group and you will not achieve this with these lies and these untrue articles.", said Korenica, among other things, for "Ekonomia Online".
You can find Korenica's full interview given to "EkonomiaOnline.net" here. here.
This statement by Korenica came after the reporting of the online medium "Nacionale.com", which on September 8, in an article published, mentioned the name of Visar Korenica and several other Vetëvendosje MPs who had not voted for the Civil Code Draft, which paved the way for cohabitation between people of the same sex.
In this article, which begins with the departure of MP Doarsa Kica-Xhelili, who moved from the Vetëvendosje parliamentary group to the Democratic League of Kosovo, the question is raised whether there are other names who want to follow her path. (see here)
Excerpt from the article published on September 8 on Nacionale.com:
But are there others who want to follow her path?
Lawyer and former advisor to Prime Minister Kurti, Durim Berisha, has claimed that there are thirty ruling party MPs (VV has 59 in total in its parliamentary group) who are dissatisfied with the Government.
On the other hand, LDK MP Arben Gashi had said that there were eight MPs who could leave Vetëvendosje in some statements that caused a stir a few months ago.
Internal elections are currently being held in Vetëvendosje – and Kurti is expected to be re-elected as leader unchallenged – but there are important party exponents in Podujevo, Mitrovica, Ferizaj and Prizren who are openly expressing their dissatisfaction with the leadership.
However, let's deal only with MPs in this article.
The “Anti-Code” group
At the XLVIII meeting of the General Council, Prime Minister Albin Kurti appeared gloomy and quite critical of the deputies of his parliamentary group. His words seemed to be directed specifically at the group of deputies who had not voted for the Civil Code Draft that paved the way for cohabitation between persons of the same sex. This issue has already been considered a priority even in the party's electoral bodies.
But, who is the group of Vetëvendosje MPs who did not vote for the Civil Code Draft? Let's name them one by one: Fizim Haziri, Drita Millaku, Fjolla Ujkani, Visar Korenica, Eman Rrahmani, Driton Hyseni, Gramoz Agusholli, Burim Karameta, Labinotë Demi-Murtezi, and Gazmend Gjushinca.
At the end of this article published on "Nacionale.com" it is stated: *The above text does not imply that any of those mentioned have made a decision to leave Vetëvendosje.
