Sali Berisha demanded that the MPs who signed for Endri Shabani for People's Advocate publicly apologize, while Flamur Noka and Bislim Ahmetaj clashed over responsibilities in the party structures.

On the other hand, Ervin Salianji criticized the leaders' decision-making and emphasized the need to focus energies on the scandals of the Rama-Balluku government.

Full debate:

Noka: After the media release, according to item 1 of the agenda, the only item on the agenda, discussions about the protest begin.

Sali Berisha: We must publicly apologize to each of the MPs who signed for the People's Advocate and let Rama enjoy it, as he has 98% of the power, let him go to 99%.

Topalli: No, don't make him happy.

Berisha: Let him enjoy it. We will not even take it to the Constitutional Court. This was a mistake and we must admit it.

Bislim Ahmetaj: I think that Flamur Noka is responsible for all this organized disorganization that the party has and I think that we will have a hard time getting people to come to us.

With this reaction, we are neglecting the democrats and the Ombudsman is Noka's responsibility. I did not have sympathy with Salianji, because we clashed, but today, with the moves he is making, I agree with him.

Noka : There were no democrats in Durrës. Arlind Boshku and Tan Burgia are the voices of Dyrmish and Ergys.

Salianji: They are the branch secretary and the head of the DP advisors group. Why are they against these people today, who don't think like you?! Why don't you mention these names of the SP in public?

Noka: In Elbasan, people say that Suel Çela is working to prevent people from reaching the pulpit, and this is your (Salianji's) influence.

Salianji: I haven't scheduled the meeting yet, but since I've been thinking until today that I don't want division and I don't want to talk, I'm telling you that you have to be careful, because you were accused 4 years ago of collecting signatures of sections under the threat of Suel. Then, as for who he is, you know that I'll bring you facts if you continue with this idiocy.

Noka: In Gjirokastra, you didn't have a leader.

(Salianji reads all the names of the leadership)

Salianji: Over 80% of the presidency and the hall is full, but even so, why don't you, Flamur, or someone else go and fill the halls?

The People's Advocate was a strategic mistake. The DP should have gone with one candidate. We sent Ledio Braho as the only candidate 4 years ago and he defeated Rama. You can't tell the MPs "sign whoever you want" and then say why Rama threw it at us. This seems like a bargain to the people and you, Flamur, since you are being taken for granted, should resign for destroying the structure, organization and perception that you have sold out to Rama.

(Noka intervenes…)

Salianji: Don't interrupt me, because it's my word. I think that after this we should remember. Let's not sit with Rama anymore on electoral reform, nor on territorial reform. Let's give our proposal. Mine is: to open the lists, to have pre-election coalitions and to change the voting method for the diaspora. And on territorial reform, to propose municipalities according to the proposals of the democrats and citizens.

Sali Berisha: Hysen Kadiu has gone to America to campaign. I promised him that he would be on the safe list, but I couldn't keep it, but he left, he told me.

Salianji: He was on the campaign trail and there are photos of him in the areas, calling for a campaign to vote for the DP.

Berisha : You're lying, he hasn't worked.

Salianji: Thanks to him, we are 2,800 votes ahead. Take the word "lie" out.

Berisha: No, it wasn't.

Salianji: I respect you as the party leader, but withdraw the word "lie" or leave the meeting.

Berisha: He sent me the SMS himself.

Salianji: I thought that today we should only talk about the Rama-Balluku scandal. Today, with this, you are shifting the focus. The problem is the concern that the Democrats have and not the government's thefts. I came to put the government on trial, but if you want to put the Democrats on trial, let's do it. You will have me with my cell phone in hand to denounce anyone who collaborates with the government.

Bled Himçi : We cannot sell the ideals of the DP over personal interests. To act profanely by accusing the deputies who made a mistake by signing for Endri Shabani, when you were the initiator of collecting signatures for Endri Shabani, does not honor you and has no morals. You asked me personally and I refused to sign. You also asked other colleagues and they, in good faith, gave it. Neither the idealistic democrat nor the bargainer can remain in the Democratic Party. Neither the militant, nor the one who poisons every day in the media or social networks, in the name of the fact that the democrats are being pitied, while they openly worked in the May 11 elections.

Salianji: I have neither been to Elbasan during this period, nor have I had a meeting so far. In the meantime, what can I say, they forced you to say it and you say it, but remember that I see that your name is not even on the list. You can be funny even consciously.

Berisha: I considered the meetings private.

Salianji: If you gather so many people in private meetings, you are only doing the DP a favor. Let everyone go out and gather so many people in every area and we will fill the squares.

Alizoti: We are in a difficult situation. Albanians are upset with Rama and Balluku for their big thefts. The ruling media, with this meeting, want to channel the people's anger towards us. We must not allow this, we must show everyone that we are together. This is the only hope for Albanians.

Këlliçi: Regarding the protest, I think we need to be clear about what we are going to do: what is plan A, what is plan B, and what is plan C. We need to continue our action with this powerful, wild protest, and we need to work to get as many people as possible to the square. So, December 22nd should not be a walk. I also want to make a proposal: the 22nd is Monday, should we move it to Sunday?

Berisha: Even if there are 300, we will respond. Participation does not matter.
