Facts/ Luli Basha’s tired team has dropped out of the superior category

Lulzim Basha announced on the weekends the names he will have by his side for at least the next 4 years to face Edi Rama and the socialist government. Lulzim Basha?s team looks like a tired team that has fallen from the superior category, and is already getting ready to fight to regenerate and doesn?t make any fundamental changes.

He is using the same tired players, and it looks like the DP will fall again in a lower category. The facts speak for themselves. It is enough to see who are the players, and how much they run on the field. The results are easily verifiable from the votes recently obtained and from the political background.

Alfred Rushaj, appointed captain of the ?new? team by Lulzim Basha, has no political experience, except for the fact that he was director during the socialist governments and deputy minister of Sali Berisha. He ran for the first time in 2021 in a bastion area of the DP, and won only 2300 votes.

The second deputy chairman of the Democratic Party, Enkelejd Alibeaj, is not an unknown name. Serial loser in the district of Fier in two terms, but also loser as a candidate for mayor in the local elections of 2015. Alibeaj was part of the team of former Prime Minister Berisha, who didn?t run in 2013, but was recycled by Lulzim Basha.

Grida Duma, the new deputy chairwoman of the Democratic Party, but old in terms of scandals, from the rosy story with Ervin Salianji, until the last phone call with the late banker Artan Santo, and the unconditional surrender to Saimir Tahiri. The Duma is being marketed as a novelty by Basha, but it has been part of the party secretariat.

The Duma, meanwhile, is a spectacular loser. In 2015, he recorded the weakest historical result in Durrës, losing the race for the municipality with a difference of 15 thousand votes. In the last elections she covered the area of Kavaja where she lost again, although she stated that she would resign if she did not reap a spectacular victory.

Jorida Tabaku is another figure, whom Basha wants to sell as a strong player of his team.

She held senior positions during the Berisha government, then was deputy mayor of Tirana. Tabaku is seen in the DP as a figure with strong political potential, but that in itself says nothing.

She never has attitudes about what happens inside the DP. She makes the moves late, after sees what will happen, and she always lines up next to the winner. So a tired player following the ball and hiding behind slow steps, that bring no rhythm to the team.

One of the main players of the Basha team is also Gazmend Bardhi. He is one of the main people responsible for the loss of the Democratic Party on April 25, due to the criminal event in Elbasan, which affected the whole country. Although first on Ebasan?s list, he was the least voted of all the candidates in the race. In the corridors of the DP, you hear more jokes and banal stories on him, than signs of respect or authority.

Edi Paloka will be the head of the National Council. He is being held in vain on the playing field, to say that Basha needs even a veteran to share his experience. In fact, Paloka has been decisive in the main matches, losing 2 times in a row and with shameful results to Durrës, a stronghold of the Democratic Party.

Jemin Gjana, the pensioner of the Democratic Party with a gold chain around his neck, has the duty to take the players?shirts to the locker rooms. All the others players are bench reserves, which Luli Basha needs to collect the balls on the fields. Some even eat grass and don’t violate the principles of ?both coach and striker? of Lulzim Basha, even if the team falls into the third category, just to play for fun./CNA.al
