Lulzim Basha shows the reasons for returning after the resignation of Alibeaj from the PD

The former head of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, during a meeting with the young men and women of Shkodra, revealed why he withdrew from the leadership of the right and the reasons for returning to active politics.

"I didn't break away because I wanted to break away. I made the decision a year ago when an unjust war started within our political family that harmed the interests of the democrats and all Albanians. At one point I made the decision to leave so that this war would not continue and I was giving peace a chance because the only one who gained from this war was our political opponent.

A country cannot function without opposition. Never live in a country with opposition, a country without opposition is a dictatorship.

Something happened a year ago, things went from bad to worse. I waited for reflection but it didn't happen, when I pulled away he didn't take a step back. I have no regrets about making that decision because the test of leadership is that when moments like these come, you have to step back. When such moments come, when things get tight, in such cases leadership is measured. If you sacrifice yourself or others when such moments come. It is false leadership that sacrifices others.

To return to my resignation, because the question was direct and requires a direct answer. I took a step back to have a moment of reflection, but there was no reflection. Things are worse, May 14 shows that things are worse. When I resigned, I promised many Democrats that I would not turn my back on them. What we had hoped for has not happened, and at this moment it would be unacceptable and unforgivable for me if I did not keep the word I gave to the Democrats and many friends, that I would not run away from my responsibilities"- said Basha.
