The Electoral Complaints and Appeals Panel has once again fined the Family Coalition for violating the Code of Conduct. It has been fined 7,000 euros.

The non-governmental organizations Dulberizim and the Center for Gender Equality filed a complaint against her. Specifically, against the candidate for MP, Eman Rrahmani, because of his public post: "There are no marriages between men and men." However, other candidates of this entity were also mentioned in the complaint.

Previously, the Coalition for Families was fined twice for a combined amount of 9,500 euros for denigrating and hate speech against the LGBT+ community.
