Arlind Boshku, a member of the Democratic Party's group of advisors in the Durrës Municipal Council, has reacted publicly after the decision to expel him.
Through a post on social media, he emphasizes that his family has been engaged in the Democratic Party for more than 35 years, contributing to campaigns and organizational structures without seeking personal gain.
Boshku considers the decision against him unjustified and meaningless, arguing that the real reason is related to his critical stances and demands for internal reflection, as well as for establishing meritocracy in the party.
According to him, the expulsion was officially linked to a meeting he held with former MP Ervin Salianji, but he insists that this does not constitute a real reason for such a measure.
He has also rejected claims of collaboration with the Socialist Party during the May 11, 2025 elections, emphasizing that he has been active on the ground in support of the Democratic Party.
In his response, Boshku raises concerns about the party's internal functioning, citing a lack of transparency and pressures for financial contributions. He adds that a political force should not be treated as private property and that decision-making should remain in the hands of the membership.
Full reaction:
For 35 years, as a family, we have contributed to the Democratic Party.
We have been there in every battle: committee members, part of every campaign, section and group section leaders, branch vice presidents, and today branch secretary.
Always with one principle: without asking for anything in return and fighting at our own expense.
But the truth must be told.
While we covered the campaigns with our contributions, leaders and candidates have treated these sacrifices as private property without transparency, without accountability and without any real support for the structures on the ground.
Yesterday we made an absurd decision: our expulsion from the DP Council.
The reason? A lunch with Ervin Salianji.
The truth is different.
For months, we have been demanding reflection on the consecutive losses and the establishment of clear rules for meritocracy and promotion within the party.
We have asked for something elementary: that the members decide on the leadership, not that the leadership selects members according to their interests to hold the party hostage.
The slanders that we are no longer with the DP are ridiculous.
We have been and are on the ground, in the campaign, and in every political confrontation.
What we do not accept is silence in the face of failure and abuse.
Moreover, it is unacceptable that before and after the elections, financial "contributions" are requested without any transparency or documentation, as Nul Moka is demanding.
The party cannot be treated as a private business nor as a means for the luxury of some individuals. We will not pay for the millions of lek worth of clothing or the unbridled luxury of the opposition leaders who should have the height of modesty due to the poverty of the Democrats who, due to their mistakes, have been in the Opposition for 13 years!
The Democratic Party belongs to the democrats, not to a group that wants to keep it usurped.
No one can take away my investment in the DP, not even you, Nul Lepurush.
