Invited to the show "This Week" on News24, Edi Paloka stated that the DP has been "ready to take power" for 12 years, but according to him, it is in an imposed opposition.
Paloka stated that the pressure and repression of the government has directly affected the DP structures, while thousands of members have left the country due to fatigue, despair or the difficulties of the opposition.
According to him, there are also people who have left the DP due to Rama's "seductions" with jobs, construction permits or tourism projects.
"The DP has been ready to take power for 12 years, but we are in an imposed opposition.
When I say we are not in the best situation, I mean precisely the fact that we are in opposition imposed by a dictatorial government, which is repressive. Under this dictatorship for 12 years it is not easy, which is why we are in this situation today.
It is enough to look at the structures, thousands of DP members have left Albania altogether, some of them leave out of despair and fatigue, they go to the side, the opposition is difficult, not everyone can resist.
There are also those who have left because Rama lured them. With jobs, building permits or tourist villages. These are public facts, but the day will come when I will also speak with names.
"It is necessary to reorganize the DP. We may need to change the structure and scheme, but this starts at the grassroots level. It is not a solution to problems if you remove X or put Y in the DP's leadership. I do not see a representation crisis," he said.
