SP’s candidate for MP, number 3 in the County of Tirana, Ervin Bushati told journalist Ilva Tare during Ilva Now that SP is aware of the responsibility as the first political force.

When asked regarding the much talked about patrons, Bushati said that this term is being misused at a time when we are just dealing with members of the SP and structures of this party, which as he said is very organized.

He negated the pretense that SP’s data is state data and simply called it information gathered by the members of SP.

“It was published in a transformed manner by the media, it isn’t our system, our system isn’t like that. Our data is online, all you need is to become a member of SP, the party has members, patrons, these are terms used all around the world,”

Our database has been around since 2009 and it is highly detailed, we know every kind of behavior from our voters and their voters and we call it a capital. We do this sort of work on a permanent basis. Basha can’t even win in his own street, in the street he was born in, which is QV 1929. It used to be right-wing, when Basha became leader of the party it went left.

We haven’t used state data, we have our own data, it is the continuous work of our party’s structures,’ said Bushati.

The socialist MP considered the murder of the 56-year-old in Elbasan by a member of the Structure for the Protection of the Vote of DP, a “terrorist act” adding that “this party is very close to being called a terrorist party”.

According to Ervin Bushati it is impossible for a party to come in power through vote-buying and said that in case it is proven that he has bought one single vote, he will leave politics.

“If a single case is proven of Ervin Bushati buying a single vote, I will immediately leave the political scene. This is the biggest party in the county, voted by 55-60 percent of the population. Power can’t be taken through buying a vote or two, people can’t follow you that way,” said Bushati.
