Former Democratic MP Ervin Salianji has continued his strong criticism of the leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, stating that his position at the head of the blue headquarters is indirectly helping Prime Minister Edi Rama stay in power.
During a meeting with supporters, Salianji praised Berisha's historic role in the Democratic Party and political pluralism in Albania, but stressed that today's political situation requires a new generation of leaders.
"Let's say it unequivocally, Sali Berisha is the historical leader of the DP. His contributions to the DP are indisputable in the years of pluralism," declared Salianji.
However, he said that the current leader of the Democrats is politically exhausted and no longer manages to unite the opposition.
"After 36 years in politics, he is today politically exhausted, internationally isolated and unable to unite the opposition," said the former Democratic MP.
Salianji also used a strong political metaphor against Berisha, describing him as the "kambaleci" who keeps Edi Rama in power.
"His position at the head of the DP harms the opposition and helps Edi Rama, turning into the 'rocking horse' that keeps him in power," he declared.
Finally, Salianji emphasized that Berisha must pave the way for a new generation in the Democratic Party.
"Sali Berisha is a burden for the opposition and should open his arms to another generation," he concluded.
