The Democratic MP, Ervin Salianji, said that after a long campaign, the group of the Democratic Party is being unified, but with two 'conditions'.
Invited to "Breaking" on Top News, Salianji said that the democrats should maintain good relations with the US and other internationals, as well as support the work of SPAK.
Excerpt from the interview:
-If the DP division refers to the largest opposition group, it can be seen as divided into three groups, you are not defined as part of one or the other, you are the third group.
Salianji : Thank you for the evaluation. It is important that the deputies are not identified by their leaders, I am a representative of the citizens, I was elected with the votes of the opposition and I am their representative. Parties cannot be the property of an individual because they are national assets in the service of the public interest.
-Do you have a group of your own?
Salianji : We are not in a situation of measuring strength. I don't pretend this doesn't exist regardless of whether it has supporters within any party. In the end, all parties must find a point that unites them to be against the government, an opposition front. It is important to be on the ground, I have held meetings on the ground, in Kavaja we returned the municipality to the democrats and other cities of Albania for the real concerns of the Albanians. The government lacks control mechanisms. It is not possible for the Parliament not to have a controlling role towards the government, the establishment of commissions, direct representation in the electoral reform commission is not allowed.
- Do you consider the votes you collect as personal or DP votes?
Salianji : There is no question that DP is an important electoral machine. It is important for PD individuals not to have a corrupt background, not to have abused power when they had power. It is about individuals collecting votes. Due to non-appearance or a defect, voluntary omission, the district of Korça for a year and a half from the last elections, on May 14 the difference was 16 thousand votes, Pogradec 12 thousand votes and so on. The representative of the party is very important.
-How will unification be achieved? Who will become part of this unification?
Salianji : This is not an easy process. We had big clashes, with big differences, we are now in logic, we have repositioned. From a parliamentary group that we were on our own account, the group is focused on the battle with the government, not with each other. The merger process is happening. We will unite in diversity, for me it is necessary to maintain good relations with the USA and other partners, SPAK must be supported for the entire struggle and effort to be independent and impartial.
