The DP leader was asked today by journalists about the two possible reforms in process, also suggested by the international factor, mainly the OSCE-ODIHR: Electoral Reform and Territorial Reform.
The head of the blue headquarters gave two different positions, separating the political 'track' from the governmental one.
Berisha said that he will sit with the SP at the table on electoral reform, because it is done by the parties, implying that he is interested in political control of his party through the appointment of MPs, but he categorically refused to sit with the Government on territorial reform.
He explained that electoral reform is done through parties and the SP is one of them in a pluralist system, while the territorial reform is done by Rama's government, which the DP does not recognize, as it has emerged from the "electoral farce". But it seems that Berisha 'forgot' that the SP has as its leader the head of the government.
"The DP does not recognize the legitimacy of Edi Rama as prime minister and can never sit with him, it cannot accept the chair on electoral farces. Electoral reform is done by political parties, I am not saying that the SP is not a party of the political spectrum, it put its black hand on territorial reform, while electoral reform is done by the parties. I cannot say that we will not sit with the SP for electoral reform, but not with the government, it has lost its legitimacy", said Berisha in his response to journalists today.
The leader of the DP, a defendant in the "partisan" affair and currently in court, also accused the prime minister of the recent wave of dismissals of municipal directors in the country, calling it a serious constitutional violation.
"Taking powers from the central government to the local government is a serious unconstitutional act and a violation of the Charter of the Convention, a serious violation of the Constitutional Court's decision of 2006, which prohibits or deprives the local government of the right to undertake or make changes to local government. The government's objections are pursued only through the courts, by lawsuits. Ramaduro is himself prime minister, chief prosecutor, chief police officer and mayor, which is why he behaves in this way. Free speech and free voting are the two main rights. That is why I also read the report to you," he said, among other things.
