"Let go of the PD loop", Dash Sula asks Basha to leave, proposes joining Berisha's group

Democrat MP Dashnor Sula has asked Lulzim Basha to leave, but has also made a proposal to unite the party with Sali Berisha's group. During his speech at the group meeting, Sula warned that he could leave himself.

Dashnor Sula:  Speaker unlike the first meeting when we spoke and you listened to us, you even kept notes of what we said today I hope and believe that you have come up with a solution formula for this situation.

During these days, you have taken the time you needed but also I and my colleagues have thought and devised different forms and ways of reacting to the situation in which the Democrats are today.

I want to seek the attention of colleagues and especially your Mr. Basha, as I want to make an explanation for my journey in the DP since the time when you were not only the leader but also the deputy of this party. I say that I want your attention because depending on the solution and the decisions you will make at the end of this meeting, maybe this may be my last word in this group. Although it would be the last thing I want!

You, the President but also the Secretary General, whom you delegated in these elections as a political leader in Elbasan, know very well the commitment and contribution I have given. Talk Gazi, tell me if I'm wrong? Am I the one who covered 50% of the April 25 election campaign in Elbasan with every expense I had? I did it with a pure heart and conscience that I am not doing either for Lul Basha or Gaz Bardhi, but for a party and people I love with all my heart.

What have I asked for all that I have given? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! Ja ku e ke z. Basha the whole parliamentary group to support the decision you made for Sali Berisha. Despite the fact that you personally, despite the insistence of all colleagues, did not go to the base one day to clarify that decision. I have no regrets because we start from the principles of our constitution, the statute that in the preamble talks about the relationship with the US.

But if you say I have a partnership with the US, act like a Western politician! Do not remain a slave to the ego to necessarily be at the helm of this party, regardless of any outcome. The time has come for everyone to breathe freely. You only need the first one!

Mua më vjen keq ta them, por ky është një fakt tashmë i dokumentuar edhe elektoralisht. Z. Basha dua të jem i sinqertë dhe i drejtëpërdrejtë! Politika është perceptim dhe në perceptimin publik ju nuk jeni fitues! Zgjedhjet e 6 marsit e treguan këtë!

Unë i pari kam pritur që me vendimarrjen për Berishën t’i të ndiheshe dhe të demostroje që je një njeri i lirë dhe që je një politikan me vizion. Nuk kanë kaluar një kohë e shkurtër janë 6 muaj dhe çfarë ke bërë ti në këto 6 muaj? Asgjë!

Sali Berisha a 77 year old person makes 12 campaigns in each municipality where there were by-elections. Even in what was the primary political goal of "Foltore" in Shkodra, he goes and has 12 meetings. Where were you? Where were we? Why not meet people? Why not meet them? Did you hope that citizens and Democrats would not break away from the logo? Here you have thought and predicted wrong!

Beyond our kindness, for all the mistakes and costs that you may have unintentionally caused to the DP today I ask you that beyond personal ego you have to take a step back and resign! Mr. Basha, release the noose that has been thrown in the throat of this party! Do the act first and let us all together start a unification process.
