Berisha closes the window and cancels the protest after the farewell speech for Gerti Bogdan

Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha did not hold the daily protest this Wednesday, from the window of his apartment where he is under "house arrest".

However, Berisha appeared dressed in a black T-shirt, as for a few minutes he expressed his condolences for the untimely death of the former PD deputy, Gerti Bogdani.

"The most boundless gratitude for everything you did for the DP, for your generation, for Tirana, for Albania. Goodbye!", Berisha said, among other things.

Berisha's full speech:

Tonight we gather here in mourning and deep pain.

Shocked because today we all lost one of us.

One of the prominent leaders of the DP, whom we loved, respected and valued as a rare, noble friend, who gave honor to all of us.

Yes, for Gerti Bogdani suddenly and prematurely, at the most beautiful age, at the peak of the man's youth, strength and prudence, the sun set today forever.

Dear Gerti, you left us and you will be greatly missed not only by your children, your dear wife, your beloved parents, but surely like rarely anyone else by all those who knew you, who worked with you, those that you have directed or that have been lucky and enjoyed your friendship.

Gerti, you ran away, but you, from early childhood to today, made your family, their parents, your wife, your children, your peers at school, your tyrants, your generation, the democrats and democrats, thousands and thousands of young people you led with talent and passion for the DP.

All those Albanians or foreign friends who worked with you, in Gerti Bogdani schools, in Tirana or New York, you were the first among the first and you were awarded with gold medals.

But more golden than anything else, you had that harmony that the great God rarely gives to man, the harmony between appearance and soul.

You had nobility, civility, honesty, prudence, which made you an exemplary son, an incomparable parent and husband, citizen, friend and companion.

Beloved leader of the democratic youth, government, deputy and dedicated and dignified representative of the citizens of Tirana.

Gerti Bogdani was one of the young politicians who devoted the best years of his life to democrats, citizens and Albania.

He was a brilliant representative of the new generation, a true patriot who, among many, many opportunities, chose to help Albania.

With a heavy weight on our hearts, with a void in our souls, we experience your departure tonight.

But we also promise that you will be immortal, you will be eternal in our memories and of all those who knew you.

The most boundless gratitude to you for everything you did, for the DP, for your generation, for Tirana, for Albania.
