Democratic Party MP, Majlinda Bregu, opposes Basha’s boycott

Bregu writes on social networks that the decision was not consulted with the Parliamentary Group and its leading structures, and that it damages the party.

“A deep concern I share with all friends and supporters of the Democratic Party. We are facing the last hours before we enter a path that has never belonged to our party. We don’t remember the last time the Parliamentary group gathered to hear the leader.

The decision to boycott the Parliament was done without leaving time for a real debate. Although I have supported the civil protest, as a democratic way to turn attention onto the matter of free and fair elections, I have asked the party leader to meet with the parliamentary group, several times.

The decision-making of a political group is as important as the decision of every person to hear one’s conscience. Party forums are institutions, not just paragraphs of the statute. The decision to avoid the elections was taken without any real debate.

The decision to reject the compromise package offered by our friends of the European Popular parties was taken without consulting anyone. The majority continues untroubled their path to take every single power, and they don’t seem bothered to take the entire Parliament as well. The hopes of some people that Edi Rama’s wedding with Ilir Meta would end up in divorce, has now vanished.

I asked our friends of the European Popular Parties to not allow Edi Rama appear as the angel who advocates the judiciary reform, but after he accepted the compromise offered by David McAllister and Knut Fleckenstein, he killed two birds with one stone. He made DP appear rejective in front of our EPP friends and got rid of Ilir Meta by removing someone guilty from the seat where they were thinking to sit”, Bregu said.

She added that Edi Rama is now pretending to be the one wanting dialogue and solution, while he simply wants to become king, while the DP is absent, without making any minimal discussion about this dangerous situation for its future.

“DP didn’t avoid elections even in 1997, when it was removed from power through armed gangs. DP participated even in areas where their candidates couldn’t set foot. DP never agreed with the anti-European boycott of Edi Rama, and with the scandalous blocking of roads, in the name of the free vote.

I guarantee you that we have all considered Edi Rama as an anti-European who was going against his nation, and this is one more reason to not do the same blocking that Edi Rama did. I know my voice might sound alone in a desert today, but I hope it will not be like this.

I have stayed silent and tried hard to help the DP and Lulzim Basha, trying to convince our EPP friends to come and help us, but I cannot stay silent anymore, because even the people who had never abandoned us in the past, from EPP President Daul and to the last member, they are all saying that they cannot help us, since we are not helping ourselves.
They want DP part of these elections. They want us to be in Parliament and vote the ones needed for the judiciary reform. I am convinced that Albania will become more European-like with free and fair elections, rather than with turmoil, which no citizen wants us to do.

I don’t want them to end up turning their backs publicly if we don’t turn on the path of the European right wing. We must not accept in silence the option to transform the DP from a real alternative of this scary majority, to a justification for any major wickedness.
