And while he apologized not only to the democrats, but also to all Albanians, Basha said that instead of fighting for the interests of the country, the PD fought for seats and offices within itself.
Thus, Basha has not spared the accusations against Sali Berisha, who has become his main opponent.
"I know that in your minds there were many questions that needed answers; on the decisions of the past, on the attitude towards non-women, to which time has already given you answers. Because in fact time is the best indicator of the truth and justice of our causes. I have taken my responsibilities as the chairman of DP, but one thing I want to share with you today: I inherited a party transformed from the party of December students to that of a single man. From the party of freedom and democracy to the party of personal dictation. This ends today once and for all! We should not waste a single second with the past ," he said.
For this reason, he said that the time has come for a new beginning, promising that the DP will be restored as an alternative government.
"The reason why we are here together, the reason why we exist as a political force is to serve the people, not ourselves! The purpose of our existence is to offer Albanians an alternative to their governance, solutions to their problems, solutions to their problems, a vision for their future. And these will be the guide for the new path that we start together today" , concluded Basha.
