DP National Council member Ilir Alimehmeti commented on the national protest held on Monday and stated that the government cannot afford another protest.
In the interview with Report TV, Alimehmeti emphasized that political change is a long process and does not happen in one day.
"If someone expects the government to fall with a protest, this is something that has not happened in 35 years. This is a process, not everything will be done in one day, other days will pass," said Alimehmeti.
He added that the party has gone through periods of dormancy and needed a political awakening. Alimehmeti emphasizes the importance of organizing structures within the party and analyzing the electoral situation for the DP to be a governing alternative.
"I have been active since 2023, where I emphasized that the DP needs a national reconciliation within the opposition, uniting the factors that want to contribute against the SP and to overthrow Rama. We may have different opinions, but we have the same objective.
"I think there could have been a leadership meeting about this, there was no need for it to be a public discussion. But the situation of drowsiness required an awakening, going down to the grassroots, electoral analysis and the establishment of working groups. The National Council and the national protest were created for this purpose. Now there is a need for the opposition to move towards the alternative government," he said.
We recall that Alimehmeti was one of the initiators of the meetings with the Democrats to demand changes in the leadership of the DP. But he only appeared at the opening meeting in the city of Durrës. After the dissatisfaction expressed by the DP leaders, he did not go to the other meetings, leaving Salianji alone, who seems to be paying the price by being expelled from the party.
