The vice-president of the DP, Oriola Pampuri, has reacted after the letter that Gazment Bardhi sent to Lindita Nikolla, where it is said that they are ready to negotiate with the Socialist Party for the Ombudsman.
As Bardhi is dismissed from the National Assembly, Oriola Pampuri says that the legal representatives of the DP have not authorized anyone to negotiate. She says in a reaction on social networks that this is a bargain for personal interests that is being disguised as a negotiation.
"Today, the media distributed an announcement according to which it is claimed that the Democratic Party asked Lindita Nikolla and Bledar Çuçi to negotiate for the election of the People's Advocate. We clarify the public opinion, that the Democratic Party and its legal representatives in the institution of the Assembly, have not expressed any position nor have they authorized anyone to trample the position and political will of the PDSH, and with it also compromise the legitimacy of choosing an independent constitutional institution such as the People's Advocate.
Any attempt or display of willingness to enter into political negotiations under the guise of negotiations is not an approach nor the will of the DPSH, but is simply and only a negotiation for personal interests.
The election of the head of an independent constitutional institution, such as the People's Advocate, does not need individual bargaining, but an open and transparent process, for a broad consensus, not only political but also civil, about the person who can represent and protect better their interests.
PDSH denounces and rejects any bargain disguised as negotiation. The compromise for the ombudsman should be made around the image, personality and integrity of the proposed candidate and not the bargaining of different individuals for purposes and interests that are not related to the democrats and PDSH.
Any camouflaged, individual shopping has nothing to do with PDSH, it constitutes public fraud, it is not recognized by it and above all it is the worst service that can be done to the public", the statement says.
