The “Rostrum” of former Prime Minister Sali Berisha, has already provided over 5.000 signatures of members of the National Assembly, a process which will continue day by day. Organizers are dealing with the final details of the meeting to be held on December 11th.

From the mandates that will be distributed to the delegates, to the place where the Assembly will take place. CNA.al has learned from sources close to the organizing group, that the National Assembly on December 11, will be held at the stadium “Air Albania”.

The large turnout, the large number of delegates, but also the guests, or the part of those who wish to be present, has forced the organizers to pass from the Palace of Congresses to the stadium “Air Albania”. An environment where the Socialist Party recently held the National Assembly.

Probably also due to Covid’s situation, the holding of this meeting in the “Air Albania” stadium is another very significant factor for the Assembly on December 11th. Also, CNA.al has learned that has started the distribution of mandates for the persons who have signed.

These mandates are prepared by name, surname, and have a special barcode. This barcode will be easily scanned by the organizing staff through a program. All scans will show exactly how many mandated persons are present in the Assembly, and the name of each person nominated.

So, another very accurate procedure, to show the number present in the hall, for every decision that will be taken by this Assembly, and not to provoke debates about the number of attendees. The Palace of Congresses is a small space and it would probably be impossible to admit over 5.000 people with mandates, or even thousands of others who will want to be present.

The placement in “Air Albania” could be organized in two positions. The delegates can sit in the side stands, and in the front ones can be placed all the other guests. So, it is expected that in the National Assembly on December 11, will participate at least 10.000 people.

Of these 5.000 are persons with the mandate of a member of the Assembly, and about 5.000 others who will be invited persons, activists, members, sympathizers, part of the structures of the Democratic Party, citizens, who have been the supporters of the “Rostrum” in these 3 months that he has held meetings all over Albania.

The National Assembly on December 11, is expected to be the final act of a movement expected to bring many changes to the Democratic Party. Since the departure of Lulzim Basha, and until to the complete reform of the largest opposition party in the country./CNA.al

Detajet/ Ku dhe si do të zhvillohet Kuvendi i 11 Dhjetorit

The situation in the Democratic Party is very tense. Historical leader Sali Berisha has descended to the base with his “Rostrum”. Meanwhile, Lulzim Basha stays locked in his office, and appears in public as a saboteur and “shoots” from the TV screens. Left almost alone, even the voices in his favor have begun to fade.

The only “flamethrower” is Gazment Bardhi, who nervously attacks the Democratic Party, its structures, the militants. But apparently Lulzim Basha intends to cancel his meeting of 18, so what can be called an anti-rally.

There is a very important detail that CNA.al has been investigating for 2 days, which shows that date 18 was in fact a bluff of Lulzim Basha, and the Assembly promised by him could be annulled.

In order to hold an Assembly, the Democratic Party, ie its official part, Lulzim Basha, will have to rent the big hall of the Palace of Congresses, where it will hold its Assembly, on December 18th. But official sources from this institution, which is administered by the Directorate of Government Services, told CNA.al that there is no reservation from the Democratic Party.

So it has not been rented yet or a contract has been signed by the DP with this institution.

So Lulzim Basha didn’t go there to sign a document, which would then take legal form, and then it would be officially known that the hall was reserved for the DP.

And in case of withdrawal from either party, would be paid penalties. Apparently, Luli Basha still thinks he can cancel his Assembly, so he has not yet signed a contract. On the other hand, CNA.al has learned that Public Radio and Television is preparing for the year-end Festival, exactly at the Palace of Congresses.

So there is also a collision, which seems to be inevitable. But the Song Festival on ART can take place beyond the 18th, a week later, in order for Lulzim Basha to hold his Assembly. These are the details which show us that Lulzim Basha’s bluff with the Assembly of 18 continues and deepens./CNA.al

Basha do anulojë Kuvendin e datës 18/ Detajet që ngrenë dyshime

The interim leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, seems to have the last 2 weeks of his political chance to stay in the DP, to be part of it, or to invest further politically. To unite the DP, and make a final contribution.

Lulzim Basha has every historical chance to show that he is a responsible man, and that he really sees politics as the art of the impossible. So when everyone thinks there is no deal, let him enable the deal. So when everyone thinks Basha is stubborn, he can become an open-minded man resolving the conflict.

There are less than 2 weeks left by the National Assembly, which give Lulzim Basha the last chance. He shouldn’t listen to his “crazy” advisors he has around. The battle within the DP cannot be won through clashes with Sali Berisha, with the militant corps against Gazmend Bardhi & Co.

Basha has the chance to unite the Democratic Party. He has the chance to do so by resigning. This act would be a great signal of unity. So, Basha can be offered as a solution for the unification of the DP, with his resignation, being part of the solution, and not the conflict.

Today Lulzim Basha is facing the fact that the party doesn’t want him. But he can regain their support by withdrawing, paving the way for resolving the conflict within the Democratic Party. It is understandable that he can do this by taking possible guarantees, reaching a political agreement within the party, perhaps to be recognized as a faction with all its supporters so that no one leaves, and to remain all in the DP with their contributions.

Because it is clear that the Assembly will be held on the 11th. The electoral body of the Democratic Party is against him, he can no longer stand firmly in charge of it. Local elections are very close. Therefore, the DP has to deal with fundamental problems. It has to deal with its own organization.

In the branches, in the center and everywhere, it should be re-established, and not clash and conflict from within for the personal interest of Luli Basha. He can save himself, precisely through this last chance, by offering his resignation as a political deal, just at a time when no one thinks this within the Democratic Party.

He may be for the last time, the only man to give the Democratic Party a chance to re-emerge. And so it will go down in the history of the DP, as the man who gave the solution, who re-established the party and sacrificed himself for its resurgence, and who didn’t fight against it leading it to complete collapse.

What Basha is doing today aims to overthrow the party. What he can do by withdrawing and guaranteeing a solution, would be the historic victory in the political career of Lulzim Basha./CNA.al
