Journalist and moderator Ylli Rakipi debated yesterday evening with the democrat Roland Bejko, DP candidate in the May 14 elections for the Municipality of Tirana. The reason was the result of the elections and the process that the Democratic Party currently entered.
While speaking on the show "The Unexposed" about the return of Lulzim Basha to PD, Bejko said that on July 29 the Democrats will vote in the Palace of Congresses, one member one vote, for the new president.
This made the host of the show, Ylli Rakipi, even more nervous.
Debate:
Roland Bejko: Your mission is to trivialize it.
Ylli Rakipi: Why do we have this mission?
Roland Bejko: Your interests, your work.
Ylli Rakipi: Are we interested in Sali Berisha?
Roland Bejko: I think so.
Ylli Rakipi: Sali Berisha first and you last, you set fire to this party.
Roland Bejko: We are contributors, we haven't gotten dirty in 32 years.
Ylli Rakipi: And after 30 years Sali Berisha lied to you? And you come here and tell me after 30 years that Saliu lied to you. You were with Sali Berisha for 30 years.
Roland Bejko: Do you want it as a party, or as a personal one? Yes, I love it personally, you have published my writings in Albania, in Rilindja, in Panorama.
Ylli Rakipi: No, I don't have it personally. You have taken it upon yourself to manipulate a situation to finally kill a political party. Saliu was the first to extend the sword, you are the last to kill the Democratic Party. Not you personally. You protect a gang that Saliu has brought with him, Lul Basha.
Roland Bejko: You are wrong.
Ylli Rakipi: Yes, I am wrong and you are right. And I have interests. Who am I interested in?
Roland Bejko: Saliu found us in December '90 at the party, for your information.
Ylli Rakipi: No one is accusing you. We're saying you've taken over…
Roland Bejko: He is alive there from the pumping you did, turning the studios into a pulpit.
Ylli Rakipi: Us? We haven't left anything unsaid to Sali Berisha here, that his head has smelled.
Roland Bejko: Yes, when he lost the elections.
Ylli Rakipi: But why what should I say to him, attack him and kill him as if it was your business so that Saliu wouldn't get votes, because you got this (hits his elbow). Should Saliu not take and Edi Rama get 100 percent of the votes? 500 thousand Albanians together with Ilir Meta.
Roland Bejko: No, no, no, because we got the votes that we gave, that we did not put candidates.
Ylli Rakipi: What about in Tirana, what is your percentage with Kelliçi, since he took you to the districts? You don't have a national council, so you fight with Gaz Bardhi. You have nothing to collect.
Roland Bejko: No, Gaz Bardhi should resign.
Ylli Rakipi: And do you know why I choose Lul Basha on the 29th? So that there is no one in Tirana at all and 30 of you gather and elect Lul Basha.
Roland Bejko: We will vote with the principle of one member, one vote.
Ylli Rakipi: One member one vote, as in the Palace of Congresses? You can't lie to me here.
Roland Bejko: I may think wrong, but I don't lie.
Ylli Rakipi: I have seen your opinion. You went in and out in Tirana and your exit in Tirana is like a lobster. Hey, what did you get in Tirana, why are you driving us crazy?
