Analysts Andi Bushati and Ola Xama debated with Agron Shehaj, chairman of the "Mundësia" party, about his party's financing and the problems this could create for democracy in the party. Bushati said that the power of money could affect internal democracy in the party, while Shehaj responded that rivals should also find financing for the party, in addition to the best ideas.
Excerpt from the conversation on "Mcn Tv"
Bushati: One of the attacks on you is that you finance the party yourself. It seems like the opportunity turns into an impossibility because of your money.
Shehaj: If someone wants to compete against me tomorrow, they have to provide a better vision than mine.
Bushati: Find the money too.
Shehaj: Yes, of course, it has to be maintained in some way. We have been in existence for 10 months and I am the main financier.
Bushati: We agreed on this.
Shehaj: It's a very big advantage. If Barbara Doda says tomorrow: look, Agron failed and I want to run because I do it better than Agron, Barbara should think about how the party will be financed.
Bushati: Zero chance Barbara. It's a bit like a corporate party, you know? If you took the party away from Berlusconi, could you take it away? He died there.
Shehaj: If you couldn't do it, because a capable man like Berlusconi didn't emerge. If this comparison isn't made, you can make it in 20 years.
Bushati: It is the domination of money over democracy.
Shehaj: It's not that I finance the party and if I'm not the leader tomorrow, I'm saying that if you vote for Barbara in a possible race, there's not a penny from me. But of course whoever runs against me should think about having more chances to defeat me.
Xama: So you don't have equal opportunities within the party, is that what you're saying? Is it a personal party, or are there some ideas?
Shehaj: Our goal is to take power, but we were discussing what advantage I have that I have financial opportunities. It affects for the better because today it guarantees us freedom, tomorrow it affects for the worse because Barbara does not have the opportunities. If we are here, if we are free, this is thanks to financial independence. Compared to others, there is no other party that is transparent.
Bushati: This is one problem.
Shehaj: This is a very big problem.
Bushati: With this funding, there is a problem with the internal democracy of a party.
