Lulzim Basha reacts to the accusations made by Sali Berisha

The former chairman of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, has spoken for the first time regarding the accusations made by the former prime minister Sali Berisha throughout this time.

Asked why there was no reaction from him, Basha said that it was not easy for him to remain silent, but he had to do it so that the democrats would not be divided.

Basha said that it was painful that he heard those accusations from someone who had him for 9 years on the right side. According to the former head of the DP, the reason for all these accusations is the decision taken by the latter on September 9, 2021, which, after declaring Berisha non grata, was forced to remove him from the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party.

"First of all, who would benefit from this. I want to remove any dilemma from you, I have not remained silent because I have nothing to say about the attacks, the denigrations, the language used, nor do I have anything to say about who did them. I kept quiet because I was aware that one throws mud and the other throws mud, this would only deepen the division between the democrats. As I have been convinced that time is the unfolding of the truth, look how time has brought out the lies. But did I have it easy? That I had it easy.

We have this political culture, we have been hearing this for years. What has made it painful for me is the fact that those attacks that I heard from Rama's mouth, I now hear the same from the mouth of someone I have held in my arms for 9 years. From the mouth of someone who for 9 years jumped and opposed them when they came out of the opponent's mouth. And you know why this happened, on September 9, 2021 I had to make a difficult but necessary decision. A decision that was up to him to make but that he refused to make. This decision divided us. The declaration non grata by the USA and then by Great Britain", said Basha.
