Enkelejd Alibeaj will no longer be part of the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party. Through a long post on social networks, Alibeaj said that his election comes as a sign of respect for the court’s decision, which gave Sali Berisha the seal of the Democratic Party.
According to Alibeaj, such a PD does not serve the Albanians who want change, nor can they give their trust. Among other things, the deputy added that Berisha cannot be the political offer that Albanians deserve.
“The decision of the Court of Appeal a few days ago marked the status quo of this party. The party that officially belongs to Sali Berisha and his way of running and doing politics. Personally, I parted with this way many years ago and at all times I have tried to prove that I belong to a different political strain. I do not believe in Sali Berisha’s promise that his DP will have internal democracy and respect for different opinions.
Above all, I do not think that it can be the political offer that Albanians deserve. As a form and way of doing politics, it is a dysfunctional model of the battle with Rama. Two similar models, symbiotic, cannot face each other, bringing results different from the one we have. I stick to the truth and my conviction that this mentality and political culture must be removed from DP and politics.
Rama’s Berishism is the clearest proof in the eyes of the Albanians of what gloom and despair it has created for them. Whatever the truth of the numbers, what counts is the truth of what he believes will bring the best for the country and the citizens. I am a democrat because I believe in the values for which I was once born as DP. But if to be a “democrat” the condition is to be a “Berishist” and with Sali Berisha, I am not like that.
And pretending not to be part of the old model in politics, trying to be coherent with the positions so far, I declare that I do not join the DP parliamentary group led by Sali Berisha. This is my choice as a sign of respect for the court’s decision, my attitude so far, those who think differently from me, and the sad feeling that such a PD, thus does not serve the Albanians who want change, nor can they give faith.”/abcnews.al
