The embassies denied it, Basha denies it: I'm used to much worse things...

The chairman of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, denies that the ambassadors lied to him regarding his statement in the first session of this parliamentary session where he said: " In cooperation with the international factor, we have managed to achieve a modest first step as belongs to the main priority, Electoral Reform".

But the three most important embassies in the country, representing Albania's strategic allies, have denied having mediated for the launch of the Electoral Reform.

According to Basha, there was an attempt to draw attention away from the debate by dealing with these statements.

Question: From the parliament in the session at the beginning of the week, Mr. Basha, the ambassadors lied to you...

Lulzim Basha: No, it is not true. I cannot allow you to repeat the lie.

Question: Why is it not true? I will finish the question.

Lulzim Basha: No, the question is not clear.

Question: I will finish the question. Because you declared from outside the premises of the parliament that you received the support of the USA, EU, and Great Britain. The next day we read in the media and we have the reactions of the three embassies. They called for a reform to be comprehensive and did not confirm what you said. That's what I asked you.

Lulzim Basha: The first problem is that you try to introduce this big debate about the free vote, about the open lists, you divert it from whether Lul Basha said this or not and the ambassadors refuted it. This is small game, I know where this game comes from. Tirana is small and as I said I am in constant contact with international partners. I don't mind because I'm used to much worse things from the Bermuda Triangle. I'm used to much worse things. I don't mind at all. It doesn't cause me any trouble. (Laughs) I laugh at these childish attempts to distract from the debate. I worry that they don't hurt me, they hurt the public. Two days, Lul Basha said, mediation, didn't he say mediation... My statement is clear. The statements of the partners are clear. They are synchronous. Those who don't want to watch them synchronously, I don't convince them. It doesn't empty my head to fill theirs. I do not stand behind efforts to remove me from the public interest and debate for the sake of the public interest. It was a clear attempt to sabotage the debate. The debate is open lists or not? The debate is electronic voting or not? The debate is the vote of the diaspora or not? The debate is Albania a region or not? When these questions are answered with a yes, the question is why don't you join forces in an effort to turn Edi Rama's need to repair the Electoral Code into a public good and an Electoral Code where at least the written rules serve the citizens and not the party in power or the leader of the party in power.

Also, Basha said during the press conference that he has held constant meetings with the ambassadors in Tirana.

Lulzim Basha: It is information that I do not use for media interest, one of the most important ambassadors in Tirana. Day before yesterday. 4 days ago, 6 days ago (I met).

Question: Did they meet you here or did you go on a date?

Lulzim Basha: Sir, private meetings, lunches, dinners are private meetings. Business meetings. So leave this right away because it doesn't get you anything. It is immediately sterile. DP has 100% healthy relations with the international factor. It is not an isolated PD.
