Former Democratic MP Ervin Salianji has once again confirmed his candidacy for the Democratic Party's chairmanship, announcing an open challenge to the current chairman, Sali Berisha. In an interview for the show 'TëPashoq' on the 'Pamflet' YouTube channel, Salianji declared that he will be running in the May internal elections, emphasizing that the Democratic Party is not anyone's private property, but a public asset of Albanians.
Speaking about his expulsion, Salianji rejected any possibility of withdrawal, basing his argument on the party's statute. According to him, this statute deprives Sali Berisha of the right to run for re-election, as it stipulates that a president who loses the general elections automatically loses his mandate and cannot run again.
Salianji also directly accused Berisha of giving Prime Minister Edi Rama an advantage with his actions, plunging the party into a cycle of internal conflicts and raising unfounded claims that the current leadership is weakening the opposition.
Excerpt from the interview:
-We meet like every Wednesday, tonight with a unique person to dwell extensively on current political events. I have a man whose name has been discussed a lot these days, for the very fact that in May the Democratic Party will compete for its new leader. However, Berisha, as is known, is in the race and has already started a public fight with Ervin Salianji. I have the latter in the studio because he definitely wants to be Berisha's opponent in this race. Good evening, welcome.
Ervin Salianji : Good evening, nice to meet you.
-Will you compete in the May 23 elections or is there no such chance now because Berisha has said what he had to say and that is the law?
Ervin Salianji : I am not running in a property of any person, not Mr. Berisha, nor am I coming here to you to run and I need to see who has registered it in the Central Bank, who is the shareholder and I need to buy or sell shares or enter the property. I am in politics, in a public space, in a public property, in a property of Albanians such as the Democratic Party of Albania, I am a contributor, a sacrificer, without question and a person who has given political results, let's say winning, for the Democratic Party when I have run against the government. So as the Democratic Party is, as it is now more clearly visible, it is almost impossible for it to win with Edi Rama and the leadership of the Democratic Party itself and Mr. Berisha has surrendered. You have seen it in the public narrative that says that Edi Rama cannot. I say that Edi Rama can and we can beat him by making a better team, that we will have time to elaborate, but to answer. So the race in the Democratic Party should have been in April, it has been decided to be in May. I will be a candidate for chairman of the Democratic Party, as the statute provides.
-We know you're not a candidate, but do you think you'll be able to get in because you were expelled?
Ervin Salianji : We don't know. I'm in the political sphere, so what does exception mean, how? So politics runs on certain principles.
-How can you join the Democratic Party? Because there are internal rules for you to be able to run.
Ervin Salianji : No, not with internal rules, internal rules or internal rules are determined by what is the main rule. Yes. Which is democracy, the first. The second, by the party constitution. The Constitution of the Democratic Party is the statute of the Democratic Party. The statute of the Democratic Party determines that the president who does not make the Democratic Party the winner after the general elections, leaves, after the announcement of the election results, immediately loses his mandate and does not have the right to run again. So here, by law, Mr. Berisha cannot run.
-Well, this rule you mentioned has been broken, why won't it be broken for you too?
Ervin Salianji : We don't know, we'll see. There are, there are institutions. So I stick to the institutional logic.
-You yourself said you won't follow the institutions because you won't make them your boss.
Ervin Salianji: Jo janë institucionet, janë institucionet, janë institucionet e partisë, së pari. Së dyti, unë nuk i ndjek, por kjo nuk përjashton që mund t'i ndjekin njerëz të tjerë. Pra, statuti i Partisë Demokratike është i regjistruar siç Partia Demokratike është e regjistruar në regjistrin e partive politike në gjykatën e Tiranës. Po s'ka nevojë më, një anëtar mund të bëjë, mund të bëjë një padi në gjykatë edhe këtu nuk është problemi se si apo kush i bën dëm njëri-tjetrit brenda partisë. Pra mund të dalë një. Në mënyrë jo statutore. Po s'bën luftën time, unë bëj betejën time siç e keni parë gjithandej, por unë nuk Unë nuk i jap avantazh Edi Ramës. Në këtë rast zoti Berisha po i jep avantazh Ramës. Sepse ka futur Partinë Demokratike në një cikël përplasje, po ngre pretendime të pabazuara dhe të pavërteta dhe ndërkohë do me çdo kusht të rrijë aty. Tani ka vetëm një, një zgjidhje kjo punë, nëse do të kishim normalitet. Për shkak se zoti Berisha, po themi, ka kontribute të rëndësishme në Partinë Demokratike në 35 vite. Të ndryshonin, le ta ndryshonin pra duhet ta ndryshojnë atë statutin dhe të bëjnë garë, po pa garë kjo punë nuk ecën. Çfarë zgjedhje ka? Se ju thatë që do të garojë zoti Berisha. Me kë? Do garojë me veten? Çfarë garë ka aty? Aty pastaj ka uzurpim pra që ta përdorim shqipen tamam, mos përdorim terma si ata, i vetëpërjashtuar po ndërkohë unë i vetëpërfshirë. Pra si vetëpërjashtim i bëhet nga vetja dhe gara, gara është me me me dikë përballë. Dhe nuk e zgjedh kundërshtarin, si e zgjedh, si e bën garën zotëria? Çfarë gare ka këtu? Këtu ka uzurpim. Unë po e mbaj peng. Po të kisha ardhur me një armë, ju mbaj peng këtu live, rrimë ca kohë derisa të vijnë të na largojnë. Ajo nuk është pastaj as intervistë, as, njësoj si me dhunën.
-Agron Gjekmarkaj ka shpallur gjithashtu kandidaturën publikisht, që do të thotë mund të jetë ajo personi që mund të bëjë luftën tënde indirekt, të çojë çështjen në gjykatë, të zvarritet procesi i zgjedhjeve në parti?
Ervin Salianji : I cannot speak on behalf of... I cannot speak on behalf of anyone. I can tell you, I can tell you this, that the interest of the Democratic Party, of the democrats, but also of society is this, that we have democracy. Without the democratization of political parties, it is a prerequisite for having democracy in society. Democracies in parties start from the vote. And Mr. Berisha has promised, so that we can tell him that people rightly may not have paid attention all the time to the fact that four years have passed. Mr. Berisha said we will have internal democracy. He said factions will be allowed. He said that there will be no more exclusions, because he himself was excluded, remember. He said that I will overthrow Edi Rama in six months. Or not? He said that he will win the local elections in 2023. He said that he will win the general elections. He said that I am not Lulzim Basha, Edi Rama will not steal my elections. Now it turned out that Edi Rama not only beat them, figuratively speaking, in the elections, but he received 83 mandates and he received 83 mandates while being weaker than in 2021. Why was Edi Rama weaker? Because there were several factors against him, which are in favor of Mr. Berisha. He had a great enemy, Soros, right? And the administration. Yes, because he is following Mr. Berisha's narrative. Soros left, the president of the United States came, the honorable Donald Trump, who has him in favor. Is that so? SPAK, from an, we are saying institution according to Mr. Berisha that was attacking the opposition, is now...
