Periskopi(6 years ago)
(6 years ago)Eliot Engel, the famous Congressman from New York, is facing a formidable challenger to keep his seat in Congress. It is today that the preliminary elections are held, with eventual loss that would also mean the outcome of his political career. But, the National Review newspaper, has also criticised its ties with Kosovo. In [...]
In this opinion written by David Reabo, it is his traditionally good ties with Kosovo and Albanians. According to Reaboy, Engel has done so because of the 60 thousand Albanian residents in New York, a large part of which come right from his district.
Jamaal Bowman is the opponent of Engel in this election and is likely to bring down Engel from Congress after 31 years, writes Periscope.
Bowman has received the support of the party's progressives, such as Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Saunders.
In this writing, it is Engel's ties with Kosovo that are severely attacked.
Engel's “Limies with Harry Bayraktari, a wealthy Albanian-Kosovor living in New York, have fallen into separate doubts. Bajramari has been one of Engel's leading donors, and through the National American-Albanian Council, he has sent Engel on many trips to Kosovo. Engel had failed to state his associates with Bajraktari and still has to repay a suspicious $150,000 loan he had received from the latter. It says it.
Finally, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has charged Engel with “pression, intimulation and harassment” of American diplomats on the Kosovo issue.
National Review Writing called “Eliot Engel has the first Kosovo, not America”. /Periscope
