Sali Berisha declared today that he will negotiate with Gazment Bardhin for the merger of the DP parliamentary group.
In a press conference, Berisha rejected any possibility of cooperation with Basha and Alibeaj, calling them "hostages of Rama" who, according to him, have taken themselves out.
" The group with complete unanimity, after the discussion of each and every member, was of the opinion to continue the negotiations with the other deputies, with Gazment Bardhin, with the chairman of the group and others, for the achievement of a union, as it is established that this will is to all parties. This is a fair decision, in accordance with the interests of the DP. With Bardhi and every other MP except Ali Basha and Lul pengu, this party is open for discussion. They both have taken themselves out, have become Rama's hostages. They made their own choice ," said Berisha.
The head of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, responded immediately, saying that Berisha and Prime Minister Edi Rama are the ones who represent the connections between politics and gangs and crime.
" The Kulla Alliance cannot hide behind the scum or the slanders. Rama and Berisha are an indicative binomial of the connections of politics with gangs and crime, and of the visible and invisible threads that keep alive the corruption of the past and that of 10 extorted the Albanians for years ," said Basha.
