Which means that we couldn\u2019t keep being the political force that got pushed around,\u201d \u2013 said Duma.<\/p>\n<p>During her interview for Erla Mehilli on Euronews Albania\u2019s \u2018Now\u2019, Duma underlined that the opposition has paid the price for its choices and radical behaviors in the past.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe carry with us all the responsibilities of what brought us to where we are now. As such, I can\u2019t tell you whether it was right or wrong. It came with a price. But it was definitely a constraint of a context that only came as a result of a previous context,\u201d \u2013 said Grida.<\/p>\n<p>According to Duma, the Democratic Party is ready for the partial local elections, despite the internal crisis it is currently faced with.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no real individual and real democrat, that even at a moment of complete crisis, doesn\u2019t know how to side with what is right and at the right time, even during these elections, and who doesn\u2019t know how to fight a battle or face a challenge,\u201d \u2013 argued Duma.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether or not she fears the fact that PM Rama will try to once again, use his accumulated power to win, Duma said that Democrats don\u2019t expect him to reflect, but they will make this impossible for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way that Rama won\u2019t repeat himself. By collaborating with our strategic partners, we will be able to increase punitiveness for the money of crime and [abusive] power,\u201d \u2013 said Duma.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/11\/02\/berisha-vows-to-get-dp-back-on-its-feet-no-word-on-basha\/\">Berisha vows to get DP back on its feet; no word on Basha<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/shock\/2021\/11\/01\/democrats-walk-out-of-law-commission-bushati-under-intense-pressure-from-internationals\/\">DP\u2019s commission walkout, Bushati: Under intense pressure from internationals<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/05\/06\/grida-duma-argues-why-dp-cant-concede-the-elections-well-ask-for-a-recount\/\">Grida Duma argues why DP can\u2019t concede the elections: We\u2019ll ask for a recount<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DP\u2019s deputy chair, Grida Duma said that the boycott of the local elections in 2019 was only a result of the radicalization that characterized Democrats at the time, after they had relinquished their mandates. \u201cI have a strong conviction that we were conditioned by the radical circumstances we had found ourselves in.
