The leader of the DP, Sali Berisha, has attacked the DP advisor in Vlora, Gjergji Nika, after the latter announced his candidacy as an independent in the by-elections of November 9. From the blue headquarters, Berisha said that Nika "has no connection with the DP", calling him "an advisor proposed by Lulzim Basha".
"He has no connection with the DP. He is an advisor proposed by former President Basha. The DP will support the candidate who has declared support for the DP," declared Berisha, announcing support for Dionis Sota.
Ironically, Berisha brings back to the scene Lulzim Basha, who has disappeared from public life since the May 11 elections.
And so, a candidate who Berisha does not like is automatically declared an “enemy” — in this case, as “Basha’s.”
