Hysen Kadiu, the candidate who came first in the Democratic Party primaries in the Tirana district, but who was left off the list by Sali Berisha, has reacted after Mesila Doda's decision not to be part of the DP parliamentary group.
In his reaction, Kadiu emphasizes that with this decision, the Democrats today have one less MP than those who were elected on May 11. He states that "Mesila Doda has decided to declare herself an independent MP, even though she was on the safe list of the DP."
According to Kadiu, this action is not unexpected, as "Doda and Shpëtim Idrizi committed the same act in the previous parliament, voting according to their own interests and those of the government, but not on the side of the Democrats."
He adds that the problem is not only with such individuals, but with "their undeserved trust and positioning on safe lists, leaving out those democrats who deserve it and who have fought to represent the truth in parliament."
"The DP has one less MP today than those who were elected on May 11. Mesila Doda has decided to declare herself an independent MP even though she was on the safe list of the DP. There is no surprise in this action. She and Shpëtim Idrizi did the same thing in the last parliament. They voted according to their own interests and those of the government and have never aligned themselves with the Democrats. Perhaps if given the opportunity, they will do the same thing in the next elections. Because the problem is not Mesila, Shpëtim or their model in politics. The problem lies in the undeserved trust, in their evaluation and positioning on safe lists, depriving those Democrats who deserve it and have fought to represent the truth and not deceit in parliament," Kadiu says.
