Former MP Ervin Salianji continued his round of meetings with supporters in Peshkopi, where he sent strong messages for changes within the Democratic Party and confrontation with the current leadership of the blue headquarters.
During his speech, Salianji stated that the DP must inspire citizens and restore the massive mobilization of the electorate.
"We must inspire change and bring over 800 voters to the ballot boxes. The DP must change," he said.
Salianji stated that the meetings throughout Albania aim to build a Democratic Party that, according to him, can mobilize a majority of citizens and restore the "moral superiority" with which the Democrats previously came to power.
"We see this today in this hall of Dibra, next time we will hold the meeting in the stadium," he declared, while thanking the democrats of Dibra, Durrës, Elbasan, Gjirokastra, Berat and Shkodra for their support.
The former MP warned that the movement he started will also extend to the capital.
"Tirana is waiting, we have not left it until the end. Those who hold branch elections in Tirana secretly, we will shake Tirana too," said Salianji.
He described this as an unprecedented move in the history of the Democratic Party, emphasizing that this is the first time the incumbent is being challenged with such support from the Democratic base.
"We have never seen in the history of the DP a sitting president challenged and have this support from the Democrats," he said.
In the end, Salianji declared that he and his supporters will not back down in the face of political pressure and attacks.
"We have not offended anyone, we did not want to cause division, but we have received insults, blackmail and lynching. I am saying this even from Dibra, they are neither scaring me nor blackmailing me. We are not backing down, they have stuck the saw in the nail with us," declared Salianji.
