24 hours after the death of the former political prisoner, Lirak Bejko,
the Democratic Party reiterated the posture they kept during the hunger
strike by accusing the Socialists of exploiting the former political
prisoners for electoral purposes.

The press release published this Saturday afternoon started with condolences for the family and underlined that the personal interest of Mr. Berisha was to return the body as soon as possible in Albania.

The declaration then condemned “the organisation of the protest and the political exploitation of the former political prisoners.” DP in this letter says that the life of Lirak Bejko was “a drama with many acts, and the final one was organized by Rama with the strike paid by them”. The DP accuses that the SP exploited the psychological situation of Bejko for political goals.

According to the majority, the Socialists believed that the flames that burned Bejko’s body would turn into votes.

The Socialist Party reacted back by considering Bejko as the 31st victim of this government, after the 26 people that died in Gerdec and four others on the January 21st opposition protests.

Bazhdari quoted the mother of the late, who said that if only this Government and this Prime Minister would have sat and dialogue, even if they would have lied, Lirak Bejko now would have been alive.

The former Albanian President, Bamir Topi, accused the two bigger parties as responsible for what happened in the hunger strike of the former political prisoners.

The New Democratic Spirit session started with one minute of silence, in honour of Lirak Bejko, who died this Friday after being cured for three weeks against the severe burns that he received in his body after a self immolation act.
