TIRANA, June 3 – The faction of the Democratic Party (DP) parliamentary group headed by Enkelejd Alibeaj will not take part in the election of the new president in Parliament.
This was announced by the head of this faction Alibeaj who declared on Friday that the process of the election of the president is ineffective in its core.
Alibeaj and his followers were engaged in talks with Socialist majority for picking up the candidates but withdrew as SP did not accept that its members sign for any opposition candidacy.
“Our position is logical, coherent. We have done all the services to the Constitution as well as the political services, so there is no sense for the Democratic Party to participate in the voting process tomorrow. It would be a simple process and would only legitimize the capture of another institution by the majority, by (PM) Edi Rama. This is not a normal process and it is pretended that nothing has happened,” he said.
He added that Rama had no intention of giving Albanians what they deserve, that is a president of all parties and people.
“I think the process of electing the president is a process that was not boycotted only by us. We were the ones who provided the rules, the procedures, we even went to the process of identifying the votes and at that moment, you saw very well what the position of the majority was,” Alibeaj said.
In the meantime the Chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, elected by the Assembly of the party some time ago, said he and the other Democrat deputies will be in the parliament hall and vote against any candidates to be submitted by the Socialist majority. /Argumentum.al
