The leader of the PDIU, Shpëtim Idrizi, admitted that he has started negotiations with other parties on how his party will be represented in the upcoming parliamentary elections to be held on May 11.
On Every Corner with Merita Haklajn, Idrizi was reserved about who the PDIU will align itself with in these elections, adding that its primary demand is only the Cham issue.
Idrizi criticized, among other things, the SP-PD agreement on the Electoral Code.
“We are currently in negotiations. We will exhaust it next week. They usually ask me who we will be with. We cannot choose because there is a very big problem, they want the strength of the PDIU but the Cham issue is burning. But we want to start it here. You have seen Dule with 300 votes and they want it for themselves. We want the Cham issue. We are discussing. Someone is interested. Someone says that if we get the PDIU, we will get bored with Greece. We would always like to have the next majority.
In these elections, the configuration is unusual. Now we have an act that dissolves coalitions and closes the lists. Today we have a majority with power and problems, the other side is fragmented. We received 12 thousand votes in Tirana and no deputies. We must be careful. There are always two big parties that fall into an agreement. These are some parties… that even if you have 299 thousand people in work, you become a big party.
There has never been a minister from Chameria, while its directors are still in work today. I have talked to everyone. Leave our problem to us and we will soon solve it, we will do better. The problem of Albanians is what standard the elections will have. Only we have a program for the diaspora”, said Idrizi.
