The Democratic Party gathered the National Council today with a focus on the October 6 protest and the action that this political subject is expected to launch in Parliament after the prison sentence of the deputy, Ervin Salianji.

In his speech, the leader of the DP, Sali Berisha, said that Ervin Salianji, as a politician who has never been in power, was imprisoned only because he dared to do his duty.

“Today, the National Council of the DP meets in an emergency meeting, related to the fate of democracy, the fate of pluralism and the sovereignty of the Albanian nation. For two days, Albania is no longer what it was. After 34 years, the black shadow of the narco-dictatorship, the dictatorship that has replaced the rule of law with the code of the mafia, has returned to Albania. Dictatorship based on the alliance of power with crime, drugs and theft of Albanian citizens. Two days ago, a courageous opposition MP, Ervin Salianji, a young politician who started his political career in the opposition. A politician who has never been in power, who has never had public or government funds in his hands, was sentenced to prison, deprived of his freedom. He was imprisoned because he dared to do his duty.

Because he dared to publicly denounce the most dangerous brotherhood of the drug mafia of those years, specifically to denounce the Xhafaj brotherhood, its Geron, the brother of Fatmir Xhafa, for drug trafficking,” said Berisha.
