Monika Kryemadhi (born 9 April 1974) is an Albanian politician, member of Parliament and former leader of the Socialist Movement for Integration party.
Although she is the spouse of former President Ilir Meta, she refused to take the honorific position of First Lady of Albania, conceding the post to their oldest daughter.
On 25 July 2022, Ilir Meta took over the leadership of the Socialist Movement for Integration after his term as president had ended.
The denouncement of cases of plagiarism started by Taulant Muka, a young epidemiologist educated in the Netherlands, who waged a crusade against the “fake” PhDs held by many politicians and government functionaries.
[citation needed] On 6 July 2019, Kryemadhi revealed that she had been diagnosed with uterine cancer, and had undergone surgery to remove a mass.
