- NATO summit in Tirana confirmed, Minister Nufi clarifies: Albania has not requested a postponement or virtual format
NATO summit in Tirana confirmed, Minister Nufi clarifies: Albania has not requested a postponement or virtual format
Defense Minister Ermal Nufi has responded to an article published by POLITICO, clarifying his remarks about organizing the upcoming NATO Summit in Tirana.
According to Nufi, his words were taken out of context, creating the inaccurate impression that Albania may have proposed postponing the Summit or holding it online.
He stressed that his reference to a virtual meeting concerned only how the leaders of allied countries could discuss and set the date of the Summit. Meanwhile, preparations to host it in Tirana are already underway.
Full statement from Defense Minister Ermal Nufi:
“Regarding the article published today by POLITICO, I would like to clarify that my statement was presented out of context, creating a false impression of Albania’s position on organizing the upcoming NATO Summit in Tirana.
The upcoming NATO Summit will be held in Tirana, in accordance with the decision made by the Alliance. Albania has begun preparations to organize and host it.
In response to the journalist’s questions about the date of the Summit, I explained that setting it is the responsibility of the leaders of the allied countries. They can discuss and set the date in a virtual meeting, without needing to meet in person solely for this matter.
My reference to a virtual meeting concerned only the decision-making process for setting the date and was in no way related to holding the Summit itself online.
Once the Alliance has set the date and NATO has officially announced it, the date will be made public.
I want to make this clear: Albania has proposed neither postponing the NATO Summit nor holding it virtually. We are preparing to host it in Tirana, in accordance with the allies’ decision.
Any other interpretation of my statement does not reflect what I said or the official position of the Republic of Albania.”

Barcelona creates a 26,000-place memorial at Camp Nou
Barcelona has opened a memorial inside Camp Nou, where fans can place urns containing the ashes of deceased relatives. The dedicated space is part of the stadium’s modernization project.
The memorial will have 26,000 places. According to the British newspaper The Guardian, the reservation price depends on the length of use: a place for 10 years costs 2,490 euros, while one for 50 years costs 6,000 euros. An annual maintenance fee of 70 euros will also be charged.
A permanent reservation costs 10,000 euros. A memorial plaque is available for an additional fee of 490 euros. So far, more than 1,000 fans have secured a place in the memorial.
During the presentation of the project, the club’s vice president for institutional affairs spoke about her grandfather’s wish to rest near Barcelona’s stadium. “When he died many years ago, he said that the only thing he wanted was to be buried near Barça’s stadium, so that he could hear the goals even in the afterlife. Many fans dream of the same thing,” she said.
The project includes four large, illuminated square structures. The plaques will be placed on a glass wall with LED lighting, while the urns will be kept behind a mural dedicated to the most important moments in the club’s history.
Construction is expected to begin at the end of next year. Barcelona announced that the money raised from reservations will help cover part of the costs of renovating Camp Nou.
The stadium, built in 1957, is undergoing a major transformation. In 2023, Barcelona began work to increase its capacity from 99,354 to 105,000 places, with the aim of making Camp Nou one of the largest football stadiums in the world.
The renovation cost, initially estimated at 900 million euros, has now risen to around 2 billion euros.

Ankara responds to Israel after criticism of Erdogan: “We give a voice to the oppressed
Relations between Turkey and Israel have once again become strained after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan commented on the situation of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
Following Erdogan’s remarks, Israel called him a “dictator,” while Ankara responded that the Turkish president was giving a voice to oppressed people.
The diplomatic clash was sparked by Erdogan’s speech at the 31st UN Climate Conference, which is being held in Antalya, Turkey.
During the conference, Erdogan urged Israel to send containers to Palestinians in Gaza, where heavy rainfall is further worsening living conditions.
Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded immediately with a harsh statement, saying that “the Turkish dictator has once again found an international platform to spew his propaganda against Israel.”
Israeli diplomats further accused the Turkish president of spreading lies and propaganda against the Jewish state. “Once again, dictator Erdogan is using an international forum to promote his anti-Israel campaign of lies. Hamas, whose leaders are based in Erdogan’s Turkey, is responsible for the destruction in Gaza,” the statement said.
Israel blamed Hamas for starting the war on October 7 and called for the organization to disarm, presenting this as a condition for beginning Gaza’s reconstruction.
The Turkish presidency responded by defending Erdogan’s position and stressing that he had spoken up for Palestinians suffering from Israel’s actions. “President Erdogan gave a voice to those oppressed by Israel at the Antalya Summit,” the statement said.
Ankara added that Turkey would continue to support the Palestinian people and all those suffering from Israeli policies.

Democrats take on Trump over immigration: investigations into ICE and efforts for reform
Following their success in the midterm elections, American Democrats are preparing to challenge President Donald Trump’s hard-line approach to immigration.
Their objectives include investigating the activities of ICE agents, overseeing funds for border security, and creating opportunities for lawful residency. However, the presidential veto could make it difficult for them to implement these goals.
With Democrats expected to control Congress next year, Democratic lawmakers want to pressure the Trump administration, particularly over the large-scale arrests and deportations of immigrants.
Democrats have prepared a list of issues they intend to examine at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which also oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The investigations could include conditions in detention centers, cases involving the use of deadly force by federal agents, and the deportation of Venezuelan nationals to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador during 2025.
“We will investigate the administration for using DHS as a weapon against Americans (and) its out-of-control immigration policies,” declared Bennie Thompson, a Democrat from Mississippi who is expected to chair the House Homeland Security Committee.
Another Democratic demand concerns greater transparency over how DHS uses more than $100 billion allocated by Congress since last year.
However, the passage of legislative changes appears difficult. House and Senate staff expect Trump to veto any initiative that limits the enforcement of immigration laws or expands opportunities for lawful residency and the acquisition of U.S. citizenship.
Dissatisfaction with the president’s policies has also been reflected in polls. Reuters/Ipsos surveys show that approval of the way Trump is handling immigration has fallen to 38%, from 50% at the beginning of his presidency.
In the latest midterm elections, Latino voters shifted more toward the Democrats. Despite this, the Trump administration has shown no sign that it will change course. When asked whether the deportation strategy had been too harsh, the president replied: “My policy has not changed.”
During celebrations of the victory, Minnesota senator-elect Peggy Flanagan declared: “We will destroy ICE.”
Democrat Pramila Jayapal has pledged to summon to Congress officials whom she considers responsible for illegal arrests, detentions, and removals.
“Agents need real training and body cameras. They must wear clear identification, unless they are conducting an undercover operation. They must coordinate with state and local law enforcement,” Gottheimer declared.
Republicans oppose any new restrictions on ICE, saying the agency has already received funding for equipment and body cameras.
Beyond the investigations, Democrats are considering advancing two legislative initiatives for immigration reform.
One of them, the Dignity Act, is a bipartisan bill that provides a path to lawful residency for immigrant workers. At the same time, it aims to strengthen border security and change visa programs.
The second initiative, the Dream and Promise Act, seeks to create a path to citizenship for immigrants who came to the United States as children and are known as “Dreamers.”
Gallup polls cited in reports show that more than 80% of Americans support creating a legal pathway for this group of immigrants.
Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego said the party must find a way to negotiate with Trump. According to him, talks on a bill supporting Dreamers could move forward by the end of 2026.
“Republicans have said that we will have immigration reform once we have a secure border. We have that now,” Gallego declared.
Experts, however, consider the presidential veto the main obstacle to passing broad reform.
