The leader of the Democratic parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, demanded in Parliament "standard elections like Europe's", claiming that in these elections, criminal elements even appeared in front of the camera.
"If you come face to face with a criminal gang, no, it's no longer politics, it's banditry! We don't go to the EU as a country that runs with bandits!", said Bardhi.
"There is no opposition at the doors of Brussels, because Albania is humiliated! What even the latest racist in Europe dares to say about Albania, the leader of the Albanian opposition dares to say. I am sorry that you have become tools, you do not conduct analysis either in the regions or in the areas where you hold responsibility. In Brussels, the language of the OSCE was not spoken at all, the report will be made available, you speak at these tables with the language of those who hate Albania. You identify Albania with Edi Rama because you cannot accept that he has always defeated you! Do not confront Albania's European destiny", was the response of the Speaker of Parliament Elisa Spiropali.
Gazment Bardhi again leveled accusations from the Assembly regarding the May 11 elections. Regarding Berisha's statements and the accusations from the SP that he threw mud at Albania, Bardhi said that he told the truth.
"I hope you don't have the same fate as Nikola, accusing the opposition for loudly speaking the truth of what has happened during these 12 years during the government of Edi Rama. Let me, Elisa Spiropali, remind you of the cooperation of criminal elements with political parties, not only the DP says it, but the OSCE-ODIHR says it. We want Albania in the EU, but we want Albania with the same election standards as Germany, Italy, France, we don't want Albania in the middle of Europe with the same election standards as Russia. There are two countries that have been accused in the OSCE ODIHR reports so far of denying equal and competitive opportunities for parties, Russia and Serbia. The third country in the world is Albania and we will say this. The government is based on Article 1 of the constitution, an election system that guarantees freedom of voting and equality of the parties in the race. According to the OSCE, you have violated both the freedom of elections and equality. If it is not based on free and fair elections, equal, it is up to them to base themselves on what the ODIHR says, on the support of criminal elements. We saw them even go in front of the camera, threaten and intimidate deputies of this assembly. Instead of losing sleep over the fact that the opposition speaks the truth of every Albanian in the PEE, you should lose sleep over how a gang confronts the opposition and intimidates deputies of this assembly. Yes, the Minister of Culture was voted for by the criminal groups of Tirana, you know this too, but we do not have the courage to say it and accuse us of being stupid because we say it. There are colleagues from the SP here in the hall who were part of the open lists and did not win because they did not have the support of the Xhabafts, Gonxhe had it. Since Etilda, Etjeni and so on do not say this, does that mean that we should not say it too. If there is a place in this assembly, there is also a place for people who represent the citizens even in the ranks "Your people, people who came with the vote of the citizens, but there is also room for those who brought criminal groups, this is no longer politics, it is banditry. We do not want Albania to go to the EU as a country that has replaced politics with banditry, we want Albania to go to Europe an hour earlier. There is one thing that this opposition in 12 has not conditioned the approval of any law in this country, they have been the laws that were related to Albania's European path ," said Bardhi.
