The head of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, was invited to Euronews Albania, while at the same time former MP Ervin Salianji held a meeting with parts of the DP structures in the city of Durrës.
Asked by journalist Mirela Milori how he views this meeting, Bardhi said that he supports the official position of the DP and President Sali Berisha, according to which every meeting outside of forums is private.
"My interview has nothing to do with what Salianji is doing. I support the official position of the DP and President Berisha, who has said that 'every meeting outside the forums is private'. The DP does not prevent anyone from freely expressing their opinion or meeting with the Democrats.
"The DP has institutions that have not limited anyone's right to speak and will not prevent anyone from freely expressing their opinion. As with meetings with Democrats, each member of the DP leadership and colleagues makes their own choice every day whether to make these meetings public or to actually take the opinion of the Democrats," said Bardhi.
Asked if these meetings continue and could attract dissatisfied people, how he would explain the base, Bardhi replied that there is no misunderstanding in relation to the base and that according to him, Albania has many more problems that deserve attention than this issue.
"There is no misunderstanding at the grassroots level regarding what is happening in the DP, and Albania has many more problems that deserve time and attention than this topic. I see no problem in being honest ," he said.
