The majority in Albania’s Parliament seems consolidated against a rather
dormant opponent. The internal opponents of the Democratic Party
leader, however, seem awake. On the first day of Parliament, they voted
Gramoz Ruci as Speaker, going against their leader.
And only recently, the historic leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, was added to the voices criticizing Basha. Berisha accused him of leaving out of the list many important figures of the Democratic Party, without discussing these decisions through the party forums.
One of the former members who was left out was Astrit Patozi, who has been openly against Basha for a long time now. On Top Channel’s Top Story, Patozi declared that Berisha had said some truth facts, but now that it is too late.
“However, these critics are welcomed”, Patozi said, adding that both Basha and Berisha are now admitting the fact that the DP is facing an existential crisis.
Astrit Patozi’s movement against Lulzim Basha will continue within the Democratic Party. He said on Top Channel’s Top Story that there is an internal alternative in the Democratic Party, which, according to him, makes the party more represented.
“I and other opponents of Lulzim Basha, and this flux of democrats, we are in higher numbers than the ones left out of the MP candidate list. Whoever starts debates about the list, wants to hide the problem”, Patozi declared.
According to Patozi, the division of the party can be avoided by recognizing critics as an alternative, and by testing the values of this alternative.
“For this party to not go to pieces, Basha must recognize this alternative and how much it is worth. We think that we are a majority today. We may be wrong, but it has to be tested. Basha’s alternative has failed, and this has been proven”, Patozi declared.
