Arben Imami, one of the founding fathers of the Albanian Democratic Party, sees the recent developments in the DP as \u201cpositive\u201d. In an interview on Now with Erla Mehilli he said that Lulzim Basha is no longer the \u201cde facto\u201d nor \u201cde jure” leader after what happened at the Assembly called by Sali Berisha.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 2018, I asked Berisha to come back and take over the DP as I was confident that his role in the DP is unfathomable\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n
The former defense minister said that only a few thought that the movement could have reached so far, referring to Berisha\u2019s assembly as \u201cimpressive\u201d.<\/p>\n
Imami said that the Assembly succeeded in fulfilling all expectations that Democrats had, adding that Berisha still has broad support as \u201cthe historic leader of the Democratic Party\u201d, but also because of Basha\u2019s numerous failures.<\/p>\n
According to him, Basha\u2019s claims that his decisions were affected by Berisha are \u201cbaseless\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was under the shadow because of his mediocrity, but that is Berisha\u2019s fault for appointing to the party\u2019s chairmanship. He failed completely in everything\u201d, said Imami.<\/p>\n
He also added that Berisha has been able to restore hope not only among Democrats but also others who are disappointed by Rama.<\/p>\n
\u201cFBI has something on Basha, but it\u2019s hiding it for some reason\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n The former defense minister maintained that the FBI has a case on Lulzim Basha but it\u2019s not following the same standards of justice for \u201csome reason\u201d.<\/p>\n \u201cThis man has an open case in the United States. He sent $1 million USD there, it\u2019s a public fact. Nick Muzini\u2019s contracts showing that he received the money have been published. Muzini\u2019s deposition is sitting in a drawer in Tirana and this shows that justice doesn\u2019t have both eyes shut, but it does act on some people, but not for others\u201d, said Imami.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Arben Imami, one of the founding fathers of the Albanian Democratic Party, sees the recent developments in the DP as \u201cpositive\u201d.
