Supporters and members of the Democratic Party branch in Korça, including section leaders and organizational structures, gathered today at a meeting organized by Ervin Salianji, as part of his movement to reorganize the DP. The meeting took place in a hall filled mainly with young people, where some of them spoke openly about the deep problems that, according to them, the Democratic Party has been facing for a long time.
In every discussion, it was emphasized that Democrats have not gathered against the Democratic Party, but to save it and restore its political and moral identity that, according to participants, has faded over the years.
During his speech, Ervin Salianji did not spare harsh criticism of the current leadership of the DP, accusing some leaders and MPs of holding the party hostage for personal interests. He called them "salaries" and, according to him, they want to keep the DP submissive and sleepy.
"I have heard many people say: 'My meetings with the Democrats worry the Democrats.' No, no. They only worry Edi Rama," declared Salianji, adding that the leadership's behavior is contradictory and unprincipled.
"In the morning they offer the municipality, in the afternoon they exclude. In the morning they demand justice, in the afternoon they curse SPAK with a house book. In the morning they say that the Ombudsman was elected by Rama and in the afternoon the Ombudsman takes office from Rama," he said.
Salianji also raised the question of who has emptied the opposition squares and protests, emphasizing that, although Edi Rama, according to him, steals the elections, the big problem lies within the opposition itself.
"There is a big difference between people who want to win and those who want to maintain privileges. The Democratic Party cannot be a hostage to the wage earners who want to keep it dormant and oppressed. The interest of citizens is to win the elections, while the interest of wage earners is personal privileges," said Salianji.
The meeting in Korça ended with the message that the reorganization of the DP must start from the ground up and that, according to the participants, only a return to its principles and identity can bring the opposition out of the deep crisis it is in.
