The dirty game with the DP forums, will not save Lulzim Basha from being fired

The interim leader of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, has made two of his moves in recent days, announcing new elections in the Youth Forum (YFDP) and in the Women?s Democratic League (WDL). In fact, Lulzim Basha has made these moves to draw attention to what is happening in the DP.

He has set up two working groups, and said that reactions against these decisions, come from those who have personal interests. In fact Basha is lying publicly. First, in the Youth Forum the elections were held for the last time in 2014, according to the principle ?one member, one vote?.

But this was a decision against the DP statute. However, since this forum didn?t hold elections for many years, it was accepted by all an electoral process that would bring a renewal. And so it happened. There was a strong race, some withdrew from the race, with manipulation and interference.

We remember here the interventions of Ervin Salianji, or the intervention of Basha?s brother-in-law with a candidate Ori Nebiaj, etc. In the end won Belind Këlliçi, who still holds this post. In 2017, Këlliçi was not running as an MP. Meanwhile, the losers in that race, were placed on the winning list, as was the case with Salianji. cna news, cna lajme, lajme cna, lajme flash cna, cna.al, cna lajme politike, cna kronike, cna lajme bote, cna show

The Youth Forum was renewed, it has a strong, an organized structure, and operates in many cities of the country, is very involved in the campaign. The next elections in this forum were to be held in 2019. But the DP had a conflicting relationship with the US, after the burning of mandates and the boycott of the elections.

So the YFDP Assembly was not held, which would lead to the election of the new chairman.

Then came the November 26 earthquake. And the DP couldn?t deal with the organization of structures, when a large part of Albania was shaken by an earthquake that caused dozens of victims and left thousands of families homeless.

In the spring of 2020, Këlliçi asked Basha to organize the YFDP, but soon started the Covid-19 pandemic. Everything is postponed, and so we come to the spring of 2021, when the general parliamentary elections would take place.

Arguing that there could be clashes, Basha said the YFDP shouldn?t hold elections. It was necessary to unite everyone, to engage in the campaign, and to hold the elections after the elections on April 25, after the possible ascent to power.

So, for 2 years in a row, the man who didn?t allow the elections in the Youth Forum of DP is Lulzim Basha. And now the one who stopped this process, comes out and says ?Now I am announcing the race!?. In fact, the race cannot be announced by the party chairman.

It is normal for the YFDP leader to consult with the party chairman, and to have a common agenda. But this latter cannot announce the race. So today in 2021, the Democratic Party is in the same situation, perhaps even worse than ever before. Today the DP has an internal conflict.

The electorate is against the chairman. Most democrats are with former Prime Minister Sali Berisha and demand the resignation of Lulzim Basha. The Youth Forum also demands the resignation of the party chairman. Because his structures are with the former Prime Minister Berisha in every city of the country, in Korça, Fier, Elbasan, Shkodër, Lezhë, Kukës, Dibër, Gjirokastër and everywhere else.

Why such a race at the moment? Wouldn?t be more valuable policy for the youth not to be involved in this debate? But in this clash Basha wants to involve anyone. He wants to bring the DP Youth Forum under control, and to use it for his own interests.

But he found the wrong way. The answer is the ?Rostrum? of young people held on Sunday with over 1.000 participants at the Academy of Arts in the capital. Another problem is the Women?s Democratic League, where again Basha has announced the holding of new elections.

In this case, he is using a woman who came to the DP from nothing, Oriola Pampuri, who is simply a product of Lulzim Basha. Taken from the street and included in the 2017 lists, she has now won a second term as an MP. A product of the structures of Henri Çili and Soros, she becomes part of the game in the DP, to take over the leadership of the Women?s Democratic League.

This forum doesn?t hold elections for 8 years. And who is to blame for this? Albana Vokshi or Lulzim Basha, who didn?t allow the elections with ridiculous excuses? In fact, according to the status, this forum decides when the elections should be held. But the one who prevented the race is Lulzim Basha.

It is learned that Ms.Vokshi has asked Basha to hold elections in the WDL. And about 2 years ago began a reorganization of this structure. So were held the elections in the branches, where were elected the chairwomen and presidencies What is left is the call of an Assembly to open the race for the election of the WDL chairwomen.

But, apparently Lulzim Basha has delayed the process and did not want its development, as he has always had a problem with the part of partner organizations, and with legitimate and elected people within the DP structures. He wanted to control those he likes, those who are servile to him.

Therefore, today the Women?s Democratic League is in open conflict with Lulzim Basha, asking the party chairman to withdraw from the decisions. There have been many reactions to this decision. Elections in this forum cannot be held on the principle of ?one member one vote?, because it doesn?t recognize the statute of this organization.

Such schemes with these 2 forums clearly don?t seem to work. The truth of this whole story is that Lulzim Basha has announced a race for his interests. This is the truth beyond any judgment, anger or conflict within the DP. At this moment of debate and fierce clashes, when the chairman of the Democratic Party, Lulzim Basha, cannot leave his office and go to meet a democrat, he is trying to set up ghost working groups after seeing in his dreams that he can still remain chairman party.

It is impossible for Luli Basha to resolve this issue by abusing partner organizations. He got the answer from the young people, he will get it from the women as well. His working groups will be simple and just a few names on a few pieces of paper, which already have no statutory value in the Democratic Party and for partner organizations. Because even the General Secretary, Gazment Bardhi is an illegal person in that position, as he was elected in violation of the DP statute./CNA.al
