The candidate of the "Left Front" party, Marko Dajti, who is running for the Municipality of Tirana, spoke about the campaign and the May 14 elections.

Invited to the show "Te Paespozuarit", with Ylli Rakip, asked how he will do the campaign without money, Dajti said that he has 100 liters of brandy that they gave him in Vlora to distribute to the voters.

Part of the conversation

Ylli Rakipi: Why did you decide to run for the Municipality of Tirana?

Marko Dajti: It is a revolting candidacy, to open the eyes of the socialists to clean the SP from the scum, as the DP has been cleaned, which is very clean today. This catharsis should definitely be done in the SP as well.

Ylli Rakipi: How is it possible that you are so close to the democrats and not to the socialists?

Marko Dajti: We are Albanians. That much we once knew about democracy, it was backward.

Ylli Rakipi: I have to tell you one thing very openly, other parties throw a lot of money into the campaign, their own and that of the oligarchs. You saw a grain of salt, how are you going to do it? Have you collected donations from the public?

Marko Dajti: We have nowhere to find the money, nobody gives it to us.

Ylli Rakipi: Any oligarch does not give you?

Marko Dajti: There is no talking about this. Even the state itself has not given me anything. I have a history, but it has not yielded anything.

Ylli Rakipi: You haven't collected anything?

Marko Dajti: When the party entered the elections, I didn't even get the three million ALL, because they would ask for it back.

Ylli Rakipi: When we spoke on the phone, you told me that someone from Vlora had brought 100 liters of brandy to distribute to the people.

Marko Dajti : They have it in their soul and blood, because they understand that the SP has disappeared.

Ylli Rakipi: You are sharing these, because you have no money.

Marko Dajti: Yes, we give them a glass of brandy, definitely.

Ylli Rakipi: Flamur Noka decided to support a communist candidate like your job, when Flamur is head and shoulders against communism. How is it possible?!

Marko Dajti: The flag is the real democracy. I appreciate his work. I have a friendly relationship with him. The Socialist Party did not allow anyone to enter the race, as it did in 2019 when it took all the municipalities by itself. The flag made the civil gesture. I asked Flamur, seeing that Edi Rama had not left space for us to run, it was very difficult, I asked Flamur and he was willing, he gave it to me./ CNA.al
