The commanding chairman of the PD, Enkelejd Alibeaj, seems to have focused his campaign on the former prime minister Sali Berisha.

While holding an electoral meeting in Kavaja, Alibeaj during his speech attacked Berisha, saying that because of his personal problem, PD is in the state it is in today.

He said that Berisha has made the Democrats co-sufferers of his personal plight.

A large part stayed here. Another part fled and are not here. Why? Just for a person's behavior. The one whom all of us democrats have considered a historical leader, we made him president and 2 times prime minister, because of a personal problem. Not caused by us, not caused by the Democrats. For a direct connection with the historical ally, of the Albanians, yes, but above all the Democratic Party, the United States of America.

" For a year and a half without cause, not because of our fault, not because of a public interest, the Democratic Party, you have all been involved in an aggression. In aggression we have happened, attack, lynching, verbal and physical, financial and legal. And all this is done for a reason, for a personal plight of an individual. Of an individual, who in no way, even in human terms, should have passed his personal trouble to the contributors, to the Democratic Party.

Who have only given. In fact, the grassroots, the Democrats, have only given and received very little. I'm including myself here actually. All those over the years who have been high representatives of the Democratic Party have received from the contribution, from the sweat, from the sacrifice of the democrats, people like you. And only in the human aspect, it should never have been thought by anyone that if you are in an embarrassment, in a predicament, you cannot take people and make them your co-sufferers.

That practically, what Berisha has done with the Democrats is to make them co-sufferers in their personal troubles. This is unacceptable, this is an issue that has caused the uproar within the Democratic Party", said Alibeaj.

Further, Alibeaj justified himself that in order not to divide the PD, they decided to extend their hand with offers for local elections.

"And it certainly doesn't end there. It doesn't end here because for a year and a half many events have happened within us.

We did not receive any evaluation that we could do for ourselves, at the moment when we asked that in the local elections that are coming up, we could keep the Democratic Party intact. We have always made an offer, reaching out, not to Sali Berisha, to be clear.

All the offers we have made since April, if you remember, were not to create parallel structures directed by him. To all the rest, the democrats who two years ago we were together. Since the 2021 election or before. Even the request to come up with a candidate, under the logo of the Democratic Party, was not addressed to him, it was addressed to the rest, our brothers and sisters, here in Kavaja", he continued./ CNA.al
