The General Secretary of the Socialist Party, Damian Gjiknuri, did not rule out the name of former Prime Minister Fatos Nano as a possible candidate for the post of President of the Republic.
Gjiknuri states that if the opposition agrees on former Prime Minister Nano, he could be one of the possible candidates to be elected head of state.
"I personally do not rule it out. The only exception for us is not to be part of the SP parliamentary group. "If the opposition accepts him, he can also be a candidate", said Gjiknuri in News24
Gjiknuri, on the other hand, described the opposition's request to conduct negotiations in front of the cameras as an indication of fear of making decisions.
"I do not understand how negotiations can take place with cameras. I know what this camera looks like to me, like that man who is afraid to make decisions. It is not transparency. There are decisions that are made in front of the cameras, such as to establish a principle, as we agreed at that table that was done with cameras, that we agreed to discuss the proposals of the opposition.
It's just an inability to make decisions, to have cameras there for my fans to hear. Or like the man who shouts "the partisan in the war was going", so he gives himself strength. This is not how it is developed, this is not how diplomacy is done. Decisions are not made by ultimatums or by fan positions. "Those who want to make them in such forms do not want to make decisions", said Gjiknuri.
He also clarified that the part of the signatures was misunderstood, as the Socialist Party did not ask the PD negotiating group for 20 signatures, but asked for concrete names.
"This part of the firms has been misunderstood. We did not say come with signatures, but come with names at the negotiating table. If we agree on a name then you have the obligation to bring the signatures. "The Socialist Party, at the moment it agrees on the name, secures its votes, but in order to secure the votes on the other hand, you must have 20 signatures guaranteed in order to propose the name later", said Gjiknuri.
