Edmond Spaho, deputy of the Democratic Party, sees the party’s future as closely tied to Sali Berisha’s departure from its leadership. For Democrats, he says, the party is suffering the consequences of political mistakes made over the last 13 years, and it cannot be revived without profound changes.
”If it does not separate from Berisha, the PD has no future. This is an organic process that requires profound changes. I see no will for it, so the PD is destined to fail”, Spaho said.
Speaking openly about the situation at the party’s blue headquarters, Spaho also noted that the PD has failed to become a genuine opposition force capable of toppling Edi Rama, and listed as serious mistakes the burning of parliamentary mandates and the boycott of the 2019 local elections.
”The PD is suffering from what it has cooked itself over 13 years. It has been incapable of being a genuine opposition force that could topple Edi Rama. It is suffering the terrible political mistakes of burning mandates and not taking part in the 2019 local elections. Another major mistake was that it compromised all the promises of the Re-founding and sank into the mud of the PD led by Lulzim Basha, and today it is suffering these mistakes. Its room for maneuver is very limited. In a short period, the PD cannot be revitalized”, he said on “Report TV”.
