Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha declared today that he will discuss with the Freedom Party about creating a coalition for the next local elections, holding the primaries for those who want to run.
When asked about this, the head of the Freedom Party, Ilir Meta, also gave his agreement. During the conference with journalists, Meta stated that primaries in the case of an opposition coalition would be the right way to choose the best candidates.
"This is an important issue, in the conditions of an illegitimate local government, where the opposition has no councilor in Albania, I invite the opposition to strengthen the monitoring of the decisions of the Municipal Councils, everywhere there are local affairs because there is no control from the opposition, and we will definitely cooperate with the real opposition forces. I welcome the idea of primaries introduced by Berisha, and in the case of a coalition it would be a wonderful idea to choose the best candidates. We will cooperate in a more transparent manner, with the importance of citizens taking control of the local government, and we will make efforts to make this happen before the local elections. Only Edi Rama is responsible for this situation" , said Meta.
