The two DP parties have not found a common language to enter with a common candidate in the local elections on May 14 of the coming year.
Through a statement to the media, the parliamentary group led by Enkelejd Alibeaj informs that Berisha's group has requested recognition of the December 11 statute as a condition and they have rejected any of their proposals.
Alibeaj's group is expected to run with its candidates in the elections where it is stated: "Given this situation, the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party has requested to inform the Presidency of the Democratic Party, in order to pave the way for the creation of all conditions for the preparation and participation of the Party Democratic in the next local elections."
STATEMENTS OF THE PARLIAMENTARY GROUP OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
On October 10, the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party unanimously expressed its full and sincere will to find the right forms of cooperation for the local elections, starting with the entire Democratic Party and with every opposition factor.
This sincere opportunity for cooperation, with the aim of uniting every opposition voice and facing a single candidate of the DP and the opposition in the elections, in the assessment of the Parliamentary Group of the DP, was the only solution to face the regime of Edi Rama in the elections local.
We regret that, contrary to the public commitment to "talks without conditions", the interest and the condition to recognize the "Statute" of December 11 prevailed, thus undermining the talks to find a solution for the local elections. Members, sympathizers and voters of the Democratic Party are tired of the debate "who is the current charter of the Democratic Party". They seek solutions to unify every opposition voice in front of Edi Rama in local elections. Losing this opportunity stubbornly and ignoring the serious situation that the Democratic Party is going through, is not in the interest of the citizens and weakens the alternative of the opposition in the local elections of May 14.
The continuous rejection of every proposal made by us, including the final proposal presented in writing, is indicative of the lack of sincerity and the will to find a solution. This refusal proves the premeditation of not finding a solution and putting the other party in front of the committed fact. This is evident from the fact that while the parties were in talks with each other, one side continued with unilateral acts or with public statements of some political representatives that went in the spirit of encouraging the failure of the talks between the parties.
Based on this situation, the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party has asked to inform the Presidency of the Democratic Party, in order to pave the way for the creation of all conditions for the preparation and participation of the Democratic Party in the upcoming local elections.
