Prime Minister Rama made a comment on the situation in the DP after the meeting of the Socialist Party leadership saying that the head of the DP, Lulzim Basha and his predecessor Sali Berisha are both political corpses, one with headquarters and the other without headquarters.
“Problems are never solved in all families. What is small but certain is that the SP is in the function of solving the problems of the country, while the DP to solve the unsolvable problems of 2 individuals: One political corpse with headquarters and the other without one,” said Rama.
“I’m very hopeful that the DP will get out of this situation by overcoming both corpses. This is to cry and laugh,” he said.
Rama said that he did not recall to have built fortifications to defend himself from any MP who wanted to take the building by force.
“We are not here to fight for self-interest such as the two political corpses of the DP,” PM concluded. / Argumentum.al
