Berisha: Rama, responsible for blocking the reforms

Although he made a long stop on the reforms that the government had passed in Parliament, Prime Minister Berisha did not leave without mentioning the lack of consensus with the opposition, which blocks the approval of some laws that require qualified majority. The Prime Minister declared that the opposition has direct responsibility for this, although the government has made many cooperation offers.

“Some reforms were blocked because Mr. Rama decided to use the power given to him by the people to block, instead of voting”, Berisha declared.

One of the most recent offers mentioned by Prime Minister Berisha for the opposition was the letter that the Democratic Party Parliamentary Group leader, Astrit Patozi, sent to the Socialist Party, asking his Socialist homologue, Gramoz Ruçi, to start working for the electoral reform. This letter did not receive any answer by the Socialist Party, but Prime Minister Berisha, referring to Edi Rama’s declarations on Top Channel’s program “Top Story”, was able to understand that the opposition would not cooperate with the government.

“The answer was that they have to deal with a fascist and oriental government. This was the latest term from the vocabulary that has bothered the ears of the Albanians for many years, and that the Albanians knew how to oppose on May 8th elections. But we remain open. We believe that every political force has the right to choose its stance. Mr. Rama thinks that boycott is a successful strategy. But I wish that he will read the message of the Albanians, because he might get another conclusion. The truth is that if May 8th was considered by him as a referendum against the government, the result was the contrary. There was a plebiscite support to the government”, Berisha declared.
