Shehi, against the PD protest/ "It's funny, the state doesn't

The chairman of LZHK, Dashamir Shehi

The chairman of LZHK, Dashamir Shehi, has opposed the Democratic Party for the protests called after the sentence of MP Ervin Salianji to one year in prison.

Shehi said in a televised appearance that the opposition should stand up for bigger issues and not for a court decision.

He stated that Salianji had 5 years to defend himself and the decision of the Court of Appeal does not overthrow the state.

"We all know that our justice is not perfect in this matter. But since we have seen the new justice, we see a renewable element, and we will support it. Is this decision right, I am not a judge or a prosecutor. We defend justice, damn these judges have been for the seal and they are the same for this issue.

I say that this topic has 500 people, that gentleman has been there for 5 years in a row and had the opportunity to defend himself. The opposition must stand up, and make the people stand up for the fleeing youth, poverty pensions, our national issues, for the state that is falling. That the state is not failing because it is putting Salianji in prison, but two weeks ago with the decision of the Constitutional Court.

Now we will wait for Venice. That day, the opposition had to say, the state is collapsing. The state is not being overthrown because Salianji is being arrested. We are ready for a protest, for a demonstration about the big problems that the country has, organized crime, government corruption, the poverty of pensioners, low salaries. To protect our rights and freedoms, yes", he said.

The head of the LZHK declared that a pro-Salianji protest would make the opposition look ridiculous.

"That the opposition situation will make us laugh then. That one of our colleagues was sentenced for one year, this will tire the Albanian, the opposition, the great causes. We are for the demonstration as we have participated for 30 or so years in a row and we will, but this matter goes to Berisha because he is a historical character with his own good and bad, but for every deputy who may have committed atrocities own, we lose the seriousness of the opposition", emphasized Dashamir Shehi./ CNA
