Referendum in the DP/ Murrizi: It was simply a vote of confidence for Berisha,

Former MP Myslim Murrizi commented today on the referendum for the chairman of the Democratic Party.

In a television appearance, Murrizi described it as a vote of confidence by the Democrats in Sali Berisha, as he emphasized, it is the most appropriate name for a process in which there was no other candidacy.

According to Murriz, the vote of confidence should have been held earlier, precisely at the time when a series of declarations were made, while it is known that political parties in the country have generally had the same leaders for 25 years.

"For me it was a vote of confidence. As long as there was no other candidacy. It should have been done earlier. When the voices for responsibility were articulated, at that time there were statements, and it should have been passed to a vote of confidence. Some candidates did not meet the criteria. So a vote of confidence is better. I would not go to the vote if it were Ramiz Ali's option, if there were anonymous candidates. I do not believe that any candidate, with this DP, would defeat Mr. Berisha. They have also told me that 'why don't you enter the race', but as long as Berisha is running, there is no race. Even in small parties there have been the same leaders for 25 years. Rama does not hold elections at all. He does not hold them at any level. It is not a referendum, but it is a vote of confidence for Berisha", said Murrizi. /CNA
