Lulzim Basha says that Sali Berisha did not want PD to come to power in 2021.
According to Basha, this is due to the fact that Berisha did not want a DP outside his control and outside the interests of his family.
In the next podcast with Ermal Peçi and Marsid Gupi, Basha also said that Berisha is giving the 'cap' and 4 more years to the power of Edi Rama, on the condition that he keeps the 'cap' of the usurped Democratic Party with the help of the prime minister.
"That's why Berisha said it very clearly, it was a great luck that the Democratic Party did not come to power in 2021, he said it publicly, in the media. Why? He does not want a Democratic Party outside his control, outside his interests, his family's, and his clients' interests. It is better and safer with Edi Rama, because they share the same interests, the same anxieties, the same fears, than with a Democratic Party that performs an evolution, i.e. renews itself and passes to another generation, passes to another generation politicians, political cultures and political mindset", said Basha.
Basha accuses Rama and Berisha of being together, and according to him, this was shown by the amnesty, the failure of the Electoral Reform Commission.
While adding that the next bargain between them is the closing of the elections, as Berisha and Rama do not want open lists for MPs.
"Simply and clearly, they are together for their own interests, against the interests of the Albanians. And everything new that threatens their community, they see as a common enemy. The first proof is the amnesty with which they released the corrupt and left the protesters. The second proof is the breakdown of the Electoral Reform commission and now very soon the bazaar that is being prepared to close the lists. Today the lists are open by decision of the Constitutional Court, which means whoever gets the most votes goes to the Parliament. Neither Edi Rama nor Sali Berisha like open lists. The lists are one of the instruments of their occult power, since the Constitution of 2008, because together they made the constitution so that the chairman of the party had everything in hand. To be masters and treat the political party like household furniture. So, now they are playing the next game, to close the lists. And the final station of this bargain, through which Sali Berisha is giving the cork and 4 more years of power to Edi Rama, on the condition that he keeps the cork of the usurped Democratic Party with the help of Edi Rama, the next station is to strike the threat the biggest in 34 years against corrupt politicians and corruption as a whole, which is the Special Anti-Corruption Structure, is SPAK", continued Basha.
