The National Council of the Democratic Party, convened today, on June 20, 2023, as the highest body of the Democratic Party between the two Assemblies, in fulfillment of its political and statutory responsibilities, discussed the situation in the Democratic Party, noting with concern the political developments and efforts to bypass and override the consultation, discussion and decision-making of the National Council especially after the local elections of May 14, 2023.
Këshilli vlerëson se në këto momente përcaktuese për të ardhmen dhe ekzistencën e Partisë Demokratike është përgjegjësi e gjithsecilit, që nga anëtari më i thjeshtë e deri në organet drejtuese dhe përfaqësuese të saj, të veprojnë me pjekurinë, maturinë dhe vullnetin e duhur në shërbim të ngritjes, forcimit dhe shndërrimit të Partisë Demokratike në alternativë vlerash e parimesh që duhet të rezonojë me nevojat e shoqërisë shqiptare.
Këshilli Kombëtar, duke analizuar dhe reflektuar mbi ngjarjet dhe zhvillimet politike, mbi vendimmarrjet e munguara ose të vonuara nga organet drejtuese të Partisë Demokratike në harkun 1S muajve të fundit, konkludon se vetëm riorganizimi përmes një procesi zgjedhor transparent duke filluar me zgjedhjen e kryetarit të partisë dhe organeve të tjera drejtuese e organizative i shërben dhe mundëson ringritjen e Partisë Demokratike, aksionit të saj politik dhe përgatitjen për përballjen e ardhshme elektorale.
The National Council notes that today, more than ever, the democrats only seek to hear their voice and will through voting, in the service of the most just solutions for strengthening and re-establishing the Democratic Party as a party that preserves Euro-Atlantic values and principles with acts, not with words, a party in full cooperation and alliance with strategic partners, the USA, the United Kingdom and the European Union.
For the above, the National Council, in support of the decisions of the Presidency of the Democratic Party, calls on all members, leaders and democratic representatives to commit decisively to serving the future of the Democratic Party and its design as the only force that can bring change.
