As a veteran political player, with an absolutely huge weight in all developments in the country, the maximum Berisha can get from his allies in Europe is for them to pressure Edi Rama not to use the power of 83 mandates, not including the 3 ready votes of Tom Doshi's PSD, to approve mainly changes to the Codes, be they Electoral, Criminal, Civil, but also for other changes that require a qualified majority, without having a consensus from the opposition.
Sali Berisha has engaged in a tour of meetings in Europe immediately after May 11, the day when the general parliamentary elections were held that recorded the weakest result for the DP, with the aim of what he considers as 'denouncing the electoral farce'.
Berisha has focused his attention on the EPP, where the DP is a member, and has managed to get a resolution approved accepting his objections regarding the parliamentary elections.
The democratic leader has repeatedly reiterated the fact that he is following the same strategy as after the 2001 elections, when he lost with almost the same result, forcing the majority led by Fatos Nano at that time not to prevent the opposition from approving the leaders of several institutions that at that time were approved with 2/3 of the votes or 84 deputies. And also that reforms such as the electoral one be implemented through bipartisan commissions.
So in short, at that time, Berisha won the 2002 agreement with Fatos Nano, but without forgetting the fact that at that time the first cracks and clashes had begun within the ranks of the Socialists, which almost 18 months later led to the split of the Socialist Party and the creation of a party by Ilir Meta.
Berisha is continuing with the same strategy, taking to Brussels not bags or boxes of film tapes, but USBs, where according to him is the evidence of election manipulation, and he hopes to reap more or less the same result as in 2001. Perhaps convinced that he cannot undo May 11, that is, he cannot manage to lead the country to new elections only by using EPP resolutions, Berisha seems to be aiming for a political pact with Rama, perhaps similar to the one he once reached with Nano.
In Tirana, the leader of the Democratic Party and those who are loyal to him articulate the idea of a technical government that will lead the country to new elections, but in meetings in Brussels, even those of the European Parliament, he simply makes denunciations, presents what he considers a farce, requests monitoring of the situation and fact-finding missions. In relation to the internationals in Brussels, Berisha maintains the role of the denunciator and seems satisfied with what he has achieved.
All this engagement and lobbying in Brussels aims to ensure that the final report of international observers for May 11th is harsher than the previous one, issued no more than 48 hours after election day.
The summer months are ahead and at best, during the fall, a delegation or fact-finding mission from the European Parliament could arrive in Albania, as they will most likely be in the spring of 2026, considering that there are much more important issues that the EU is facing. And the leader of the Democrats seems to have it clear or has carefully prepared the scheme.
As a senior political player, with an absolutely huge weight in all developments in the country, the maximum Berisha can get from his allies in Europe is for them to pressure Edi Rama not to use the power of 83 mandates, not including the 3 ready votes of Tom Doshi's PSD, to approve mainly changes to the Codes, be they Electoral, Criminal, Civil, but also for other changes that require a qualified majority, without having a consensus from the opposition.
In the conditions when there is a court process in the GJKKO with concrete accusations from SPAK, when he is unable to break with the US administration to remove the 'non grata' even though he has engaged one of the strongest lobbying teams, Berisha would be happy to be there at the political decision-making table, even through his mandated ones.
And of course, this will give him the opportunity, regardless of whether he will have 50 or 51 mandates, to have the space to make a bargain that could be purely political, but perhaps even broader. /Pamphlet/
