Returning to PD; Bardhi and his people fight this war as they feel unloved by the remaining members of the DP, part of the structures, who are ultimately distanced from Sali Berisha and the pulpit. They, that is, the branches of the Democratic Party, are the core that support the return of Lulzim Basha.
The group of opponents of Lulzim Basha's return was strongly joined by Agron Gjekmarkaj. Once an ally of the former president, for a long time the former head of the Lezha district has been sidelined from developments, not taking sides. But today, Gjekmarkaj was very harsh, he called the PD National Council, the presidency, illegitimate, and compared the group that supports Basha to a "cowherd", which "gathers people like an engagement". So in other words, Gjekmarkaj has aligned himself with the group of deputies who are close to Gazmend Bardhi, not only with the logic against the return of Lulzim Basha, but also with the ideas of how the opposition should continue in the future.
In bold lines, Bardhi's group says that the opposition should try again to unite with the pulpit in order to achieve that in the next elections they form a mixed leadership group, a mixed prime minister candidate, and a mixed deputy candidate.
In the method of how the so-called union will be attempted, Bardhi's group is unclear, but speaks in general terms.
Sali Berisha, for his part, is fixated on the version of "primaries", that is, that deputies are elected from an unspecified body of opposition voters, as happened with the candidates for mayor. A process that was not only unsuccessful and chaotic, but in no case produced a result uncontested by the majority.
This is because the people who voted to elect the candidates for presidents, were an anonymous conglomerate, where the lists were produced not from the DP membership registers, but from the center, with the aim of selecting the candidates that the doctor himself and Ilir Meta wanted. which sent many former LSI people to participate in the so-called primaries process.
This process, i.e. the primaries of supporters, is a practice that takes place only in the USA and the Italian Democratic Party in Europe. In all other European parties, and in a special way in the members of the European People's Parties, the chairmen, candidates for deputies or for mayors are elected according to the principle "one member, one vote" by the party membership.
Then, the candidate tries to offer the consensus and other currents of the society. And this is the most normal logic, since the so-called supporters' primaries are a complicated process, where there is no tradition at all. The USA has been doing this for centuries, we are dealing with a federal state, where the electoral committee structures are consolidated.
In the Italian PDI, where sympathizers' primaries are experimented as the only country in Europe, these elections have not managed to give a result acceptable to all currents of the party. In the last elections in the PDI, Ely Shclein won as president, who was voted in the majority by sympathizers, while her competitor, Stefano Bonaçini, was voted by the membership. Today, several months after the primaries, the elected president still has not managed to gain authority in the party, as the members are not accepting her.
Returning to PD; Bardhi and his people fight this war as they feel unloved by the remaining members of the DP, part of the structures, who are ultimately distanced from Sali Berisha and the pulpit. They, that is, the branches of the Democratic Party, are the core that support the return of Lulzim Basha. And according to the probability, there is a dislike with all the deputies who lined up with the "Union for Victory" on May 14. The situation is that simple. They don't want to merge with Foltore, meanwhile, neither does Berisha want to merge with the DP structures. Because for two years he tried to annihilate them, to suppress them, but he could not succeed.
The only way to split Gjemarkaj, Bardhi, etc., who do not want the candidacy of Lulzim Basha, is to open a "kofterie" of their own or to join the pulpit of Sali Berisha. But in all likelihood, they don't have the door open there.
Even Saljanji, who ended up there, did not have it easy, but for a while he became indispensable for Berisha, who tried to take over the PD parliamentary group. On May 14, Saljani took custody of Kavaja, where he managed to regain it, and now, in all likelihood, he will hold on to this result to become a deputy in 2025. But what kind of union are Gjekmarkaj and Bardhi looking for, when the parties do not want to join?
As for the labels that they are "as much as an engagement", the style of the pamphleteer of the Vice-President of the Assembly does not seem to hold. Because this PD, i.e. of the College of Presidents", received with spirit between teeth, with all against and no candidates on May 14, over 104 thousand votes. A result that is not only "not an engagement", but is much more important than the electorate that refused to go to the polls to choose Sali Berisha's candidates.
