Former president Bamir Topi has stated that today the opposition is still suffering the consequences of the April 2008 agreement.
In an interview on the show “Zone Zero” on Top News, he said that the opposition is already politically dead, but he remembers that he warned Sali Berisha about what would happen.
Bamir Topi: The damage of the April 2008 agreement not only continues, but also confirms what is happening. The one who is in charge of a majority does not give any kind of guarantee that the commission dealing with the elections will be neutral. The commission is political and vote control does not come from political parties.
Here we are at the principle of operation of the ultracentrifuge, the more the revolutions increase, the more lightweights come out. I am talking about the new parties. SP and DP are heavyweights. The SP has the comfort of having an administration that has been motivating it for elections for 12 years, while the PD is politically dead. In a communication of the Prime Minister with the public, he says “the deputy we want”, about the Albania of 2013.
These are not slips, they are devilishly constructed things. He does not question the elections of 2025, but he does not say the Albania of 2029 either, he confirms and gives a psychological message to the opponent and society, do what you want, I am still here in the mandate of 2029. It is about a well-thought-out articulation. I see that there is a strong increase in the frequency of media outlets. An unprecedented battle has begun, but this is not because of Edi Rama.
Let me put my finger on the wound, this comes from Sali Berisha, whom I warned in April 2008, where the relations between us were normal and friendly and respecting the values. I told him not to take this step, no I will. Don’t pretend you’re emotionally involved in this deal. The political quotas of the Berisha government were in free fall. Wanting to create, he entered into this agreement, Rama liked it. This agreement was made, the debates began. I objected.
