Strong clashes have started between the “Euro-Atlanticists”, where Lulzim Basha has been opposed by a good part of his group, who will create the “Initiative of Euro-Atlantic Democrats” party, or “IDE” for short, and will not wait his recourse to the Supreme Court for the stamp of the DP.
Roland Bejko has also come out publicly against Lulzim Basha, who has confirmed that he will join the new party, while being invited to A2 CNN, he has also shown the reasons why he no longer supports the former chief democrat.
Bejko said that Lulzim Basha cannot be the leader, where he hardly goes to the conference, as according to him, he did not even fight against Berishism or corruption. He further said that they had the American support, the party logo and seal, as well as the battle in the local elections, but they lost all three.
“I had the support for Mr. Basha with conditions. I wanted him to fight against Berishism and corruption and this has been missing. Now that support is over because I can’t fight for someone who doesn’t want to win the fight.
I have always wanted the DP to be a right-wing party and I have not been very friendly with the party leaders. Basha hardly went out to do press conferences, when we told him to call Berisha on Friday, he didn’t come out anymore. We had American support, we had the party logo and seal, and we had entered the fray in the local elections. All three of these we lost, and when I saw this, I decided to leave.
I was in favor of creating a new party, with a new logo, with a new name and to make the elections from scratch for the party. In order not to become a party of the mayor. I encourage the creation of a political movement and I will be a strong voice to defend right-wing values. Lulzim Basha is not “non grata”, there may be defects in leadership, but he is not Sali Berisha”, said Bejko.
