In the show "Te Paespozuarit", there were strong debates between Gazment Bardhi and the guests, regarding the leadership of the Democratic Party, the fact that Alibeaj was appointed "acting president" without convening the National Council and the fact that Lulzim Basha continues to lead officially the party but refuses to appear at the CEC to enter the elections, risking that the DP will not enter the local elections at all.
Studio Debate:
Enton Abilekaj: After Basha's resignation, Mr. Bardhi appointed a chairman...
Gazment Bardhi: Not me, but the party statute.
Enton Abilekaj: The General Secretary convenes the National Council, which commands one of the vice-presidents to lead the party. The first act that the Secretary does is convene the National Council, which decides. You are in two violations. The first, that Basha issued authorization, which is not issued upon resignation. Second, you did not convene the National Council.
Third, you had to make a process. That platform, that there will be no party elections until the local elections, became a reality...
Gazment Bardhi: Mr. Basha's authorization has nothing to do with the leadership of the party. It deals with issues related to elections. As there is authorization for matters related to party finances, etc. These authorizations guaranteed the normal functioning of the party. While the leadership is about who will lead the party after the resignation of Mr. Basha. I called the president of the National Council and the two vice presidents to discuss when the meeting of the National Council would take place that would elect one of the two vice presidents. According to the Statute, PD has at least two vice-presidents. The National Council chooses one of the two. In that meeting, Mrs. Tabaku, confirmed to me...
Enton Abilekaj: On which article of the Statute is this based? The National Council says that one of the vice presidents is in command. Where did the National Council meet?
Gazment Bardhi: I had no proposal to make to the National Council.
Neritan Sejamini: Oh, why have you become so arrogant? What do you think you are? Do you have any responsibility for the situation you are in?
Gazment Bardhi: I listened to you for half an hour, I listened to you...
Neritan Sejamini: Why didn't you convene the National Council?
Ylli Rakipi: Hey, you haven't convened the National Council. Do you take us for tricks? For everything you said you did nothing. You don't have a protocol, you don't have minutes, you don't have a National Council... Inserting farts means…
Neritan Sejamini: These are techniques that you will not answer.
Ylli Rakipi: We don't even care about Sali Berisha, we only care that there is no opposition and he does whatever he wants. The commissioner has just said that without Basha going to the CEC, the PD will not enter the elections.
Gazment Bardhi: At the moment that Mrs. Tabaku has expressed to me her will that she does not want to take on this responsibility, then the only vice president left in office is Mr. Alibeaj. Even if the National Council were to meet...
Enton Abilekaj: This is mandatory!
Gazment Bardhi: No, it is not. If there is only one vice president in office, no. I have not assigned.
