From the moment he made it public, Lulzim Basha's resignation has been seen by his opponents within the DP as a game to return to the helm of the DP.
Gazment Bardhi, one of his close political associates, was among those who demanded his withdrawal along with Berisha.
But does that guarantor come out today to oppose Basha's return to the helm of the DP?
"I guarantee to say what I believe. What I believed was that Basha should withdraw from the leadership of the Democratic Party, because together with Berisha they had become a problem for the Democratic Party. "Withdrawal of both would bring solutions for the future of PD", said Bardhi in an interview for Ora News.
Bardhi said that when he is not worried about his political fate, there is no way he can be worried about Basha.
"Nothing has changed in this situation. I'm not worried about personal fate. When I am not worried about my political fate, I can not be worried about anyone's political career. I am very concerned about the future of the DP and the perspective offered to the Democrats.
And for the fact that Albania has been misgoverned for 9 years. DP can be and is the only alternative to end this misgovernment in the leadership of the government by Edi Rama and to do what we had as a mission: Albania as all of Europe.
I do not judge that there is another political force in Albania that can make this a reality other than the DP. In the situation we are in today, especially with the danger that was threatening the DP by returning to decision-making power, Mr. Berisha… this is the reason why I said out loud what I think. "I have never had anything personal with Sali Berisha, ever."
Bardhi stressed that he has nothing personal with Berisha, but according to him, the former prime minister is keeping the DP under confusion.
"Until the day when Berisha thought of taking his movement out of the party institutions, on November 11, Gazment Bardhi, even in his capacity as Secretary General, did not say a word. I did not communicate with anyone from the party structures to tell them whether or not they should go to Berisha's rostrums, I did not make any comment in the media.
The moment that Berisha took all his movement out of the party institutions, at that moment I perceived what I had suspected from the beginning that Berisha was not interested in an institutional battle within the DP but was interested in keeping the DP in disarray as it is holding it at the moment. . If the signatures for the Assembly meeting had come to the party institutions and we would have convened the party Assembly where all the parties would be there would have voted and all our internal debate would have been closed.
Who took all his movement out of the party institutions by creating parallel processes, parallel structures, parallel movements, parallel parties, everything parallel creating all this big mess in the DP that continues for months and wanted to continue for other months, responsibility "Mr. Berisha is the only one for this."
