Former president Bamir Topi, invited to A2 CNN, spoke about the elections in the Municipality of Tirana and the opposition's position.

Topi stated that the opposition should make up its mind whether or not to participate in the elections and, if it does, to nominate the strongest political figure.

The former president compared taking over the Municipality of Tirana to taking over the midfield in football, a key thing.

Regarding the refusal of many DP names to run in the local elections, Topi said that this shows the state of the opposition.

A situation from which the former president proposed that the only way out would be to nominate the strongest political figure and guarantee him a political career within the party.

" They have come out and are looking for the name, while we are 30 days away from the elections. These people should make up their minds: if they are going to participate, they should choose the strongest political figure. Because the elections in Tirana are only two years before the important elections for Tirana. Whoever takes Tirana, whoever takes the middle of the field, as happens in football, wins the game.

When a person loses confidence, even when the race is completely winnable, it makes them lose the race. All those who do not accept, and this is a weakening situation for the opposition, shows the real state of the opposition. Therefore, to get out of this situation, which is both political and psychological, the DP must appoint the figure with the highest political potential, giving him full guarantees for his political career within the party. Because people cannot be burned , "said Topi./CNA
