The former Parliament Speaker and former Democratic Party member, Jozefina Topalli, reacted against the Democratic Party leader, Lulzim Basha, after the National Assembly meeting of their party.

Topalli said that the DP leader has now killed the internal democracy of the DP. She says that the leadership’s decision to bring back important figures, including Topalli, is just propaganda.

“Lulzim Basha took all powers by killing democracy. To cover this shame he says on media outlets that Jozefina Topalli is going back to the National Council and that Basha has accepted to have the former President, former PM and former Speaker in the leadership”, she said.

For Jozefina, this is a trick organized by Basha. She says that the meeting of the leadership council is also a falsity, just for protecting his seat.

The former Parliament Speaker refuses her spot in the Council, and accuses Basha of being controlled by Rama: “I will not stay silent when I see my country slip away and the opposition leader being controlled by the government, because a country without an opposition is a country without hopes, especially for us who paid a steep price for dictatorship”, she said.
