"He is not naive, he knows he cannot defeat Berisha"/ Journalist: This

Journalist Çim Peka said this evening that Ervin Salianji, with his moves, knows well that he cannot defeat the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha.

Invited to Syri TV, Peka said that Salianji is aiming to be as close as possible to Berisha. He further added that Berisha should open the party and hold meetings with universities.

"Whoever thinks that crime is offered to the opposition and not the government is either naive or playing the crime game. Salianji is not naive, he knows that he cannot defeat Berisha. Salianji has nothing to do with Berisha. You need Berisha, he is neither young nor worn out, neither useful nor useless, neither guilty nor innocent, he is a breath. LDK is still holding on to Rugova's grave. PD will not be able to hold on to Berisha's grave either, it cannot hold on to the petty shopkeepers. The problem is neither Noka nor Salianji, but Sali Berisha. It cannot do with apolitical people. Flamur has that much, it must open its wings.

Is Salianji the solution? Salianji went to prison but he is not Pjetër Arbnori, a dissident. He went to prison with 5D, Pëllumb Gjoka, Oltion Bistri. I have not heard him say a single word about Oltion Bistri, Pëllumb Gjoka, the thieves. With Grida by his side, he speaks against crime? They do not have it with Berisha, because without him they will melt. The fight is who will be next to him. The Americans are fighting for two because they know that without Berisha there is no opposition. Salianji is aiming to be as close to Berisha as possible. Berisha should go to universities,” said the journalist.

Peka further said that being an opposition under these conditions is a difficult mission because, according to him, the head of government, Edi Rama, has "banalized" politics.

"Berisha's response in 2017 when we told him to go back and see what Luli was doing was that it was impossible for him to form a team. The opposition in these conditions is a difficult mission. Politics is difficult, you have to take risks and be serious, because Rama has trivialized politics and criminalized electoral headquarters.

We can't thank all the scoundrels that we have. There are many who attack the opposition, or there are those who have fought political battles and when something was not done for them, they turn against them. The battle must be principled. Will Albana and Flamur convince young people that it is better to get an education than to do drugs? We need political material in the face of Zegjinesa and Sara Mila. In order to gather Albanians and remove Rama without a vote, you need a very strong package, you must be acceptable , "said the journalist. /CNA
