Gazment Bardhi, the head of treason within the official DP, the General Secretary's order from Berisha to block the election of the new chairman of the party, this is what happened in the Presidency

As the newspaper "SOT" has warned for a long time, within the official Democratic Party it seems that some high exponents have been infiltrated, this coup group, which is headed by the General Secretary of the official Democratic Party, Gazment Bardhi. For weeks in the corridors of politics and especially those of the opposition, it has been rumored that Bardhi and several deputies such as Agron Gjekmarkaj, Saimir Korreshi, Dashnor Sula, Lefter Gështenja, etc., are puppets of Sali Berisha and play with two goals, but that in the final they aim to bring water to the mill of Sali "non grottones". But as until this Monday these were only hints, it took the meeting of the Presidency held this Tuesday and which ended in the early hours of Wednesday morning, for them to pull out their heads. After 10 hours of debate and tension, The leadership of the Democratic Party came out with the decision to open the race for the new leader of the party. With 17 votes in favor, 2 against and 3 abstentions, the Presidium decided that the race for the new leader of the Democrats will be held on July 29, in the conditions when Jorida Tabaku also refused to lead the party. But this decision did not suit the tools of Berisha, who is using every strategy to prevent the election of the new leader of the DP. They revolted and when they saw that they failed, they ran away with their tails in the saddle. This decision, made yesterday prudently by 80% of the members of the Presidency, means that Lulzim Basha is only 2 months away from returning as chairman, given that he was strongly supported by the United States of America, Great Britain and the European Union, even has been targeted by our strategic partners as the next prime minister of Albania,

Tensions and debates

But this fair decision has brought tensions to the meeting, since Berisha's deputies, who are also members of the Presidency, have not accepted that the elections be held now. With this situation, another split between the Democratic Party is noticed, which also followed with the resignation of Jorida Tabaku from the post of vice president. In a statement to the media, Tabaku described this decision as a step that further reduces the party. I retired from the position of DP vice-president. I think that PD will move forward, it will become an alternative when each of us ignores our personal egos and thinks about the common good", stated Tabaku. The resignation of Tabak was followed by the resignation of Ori Nebiaj and Flamur Hoxha from the presidency of the Democratic Party. "SOT" newspaper learned that Berisha's MPs have abandoned the meeting, as they requested that the elections be held at the grassroots first. and then appoint the new chairman.

Gazment Bardhi, Saimir Korreshi, Helidon Bushati, Dashnor Sula, Lefter Gështenja, Bledion Nallbati, Dhurata Çupi were the first deputies to leave the Presidency meeting, around 01:00 midnight. On the other hand, the other members of the Presidency asked the deputies to account for why they were not active in the campaign for the May 14 elections, especially in Tirana. The former PD candidate for the Municipality of Tirana, Roland Bejko, described the departure of the deputies from the meeting as a knife in the back. Meanwhile, the member of the Presidency, Jonila Godole, said that it is a hasty action as first a basic analysis is needed for the situation in which the party is. "When the general secretary left, I did not find out how he left. The action that was taken was like this, if I don't take into account "get up and leave". The abandonment of the meetings by the deputies was like that. It's a stab in the back for DP", declared Bejko. Meanwhile, after the tensions and clashes within the Democratic Party, during the hours of today's morning, two members of the leadership of the DP, namely Ori Nebiaj and Flamur Hoxha, have resigned from their positions.
