Rival candidate with Sali Berisha for the race of the chairman of the Democratic Party, Ibsen Elezi has held a meeting in the city of Kukes, where he stated that if he becomes mayor he will not have cooperation with the SMI and Ilir Meta.
During a press conference, Elezi said that if the DP cooperates with the SMI, which is not a left-wing force, it can win 100,000 votes, but it can lose as much on the other side.
" No cooperation with Ilir Meta, because you are taking Ilir Meta gets 100 thousand votes, but loses another 50 thousand and 100 thousand votes. This does not go, that is left. If the SMI would be a right-wing party which has the same ideological axis as us, agree, but we can not play cic-mic. "Politics means that they are parties and parties that debate and win for ideas, they have no primary purpose to come to power, because what happens, those who will come are like those who will leave ", said Elezi.
The candidate for chairman of the Democratic Party, Ibsen Elezi responded to the accusations of Rudina Hajdari that the latter was not in the Democratic Party during the elections, and even that he is the man of Safet Gjici. Elezi said that he campaigned for the PD deputy, Flamur Hoxha, while with Safet Gjici he sits in a cafe because he is the President of Kukës.
"Not that I have anything to do with Rudina Hajdari, I never mentioned him, but Rudina Hajdari comes out with a left party within the democratic party and accuses me in Kukës that I was not in the party. But I was on the side of Flamur Hoxha, and I was when he was introduced. I have been everywhere, meetings for education because I have a moral obligation. You understand what Sali Berisha's background builds there, they reach out and accuse me of being against the DP. They reach out and accuse me of being Safet Gjic's man. What connection do I have with Safet Gjici ?! They gave him millions of euros in Tirana, they made him the most powerful businessman and now they are coming back to me…
I will go to watch football, I will meet Safet because he is the President of Kukës. We have not asked democracy not to shake hands and sit in the cafe. We did not ask for democracy to kill the human being, these were done by Enver Hoxha. "They kill the truth face to face", emphasizes Elezi.
