36-year-old caste/ Berisha is scared: What is happening in Albania has nothing

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, during a conversation with his followers on Facebook, appeared alarmed and afraid that what happened in Serbia, where the "Student List" left the traditional opposition out of parliament, could also happen in Albania. He insisted that the evidence of citizen and student protests against the government, but also the entire old political caste, has no connection to Serbia.

It seems clear that this fear has led Berisha's militants to intensify efforts to intervene and unite with the 5-month-old citizen protest, even with violence.

Meri Kurti: There is talk that students are moving towards the creation of a front or party, where neither the Socialist Party nor the Democratic Party will be part of it. Do you think that a Serbian scenario is being pursued and what will be your actions?

Sali Berisha: Meri, thank you for the question. 

First, leaving modesty aside, Sali Berisha with his associates, by founding the Democratic Party in '90, established political pluralism. And I can never have any kind of negative attitude towards those who want to create their own political formation. 

So, for me, political pluralism is a main pillar of democracy and everyone has the right to act according to their opinion and wishes. 

Is there any similarity with the Serbian scenario, if they want a friendly preliminary advice? No, absolutely! 

Just being friendly, I tell them there are no similarities. 

The Serbian scenario, as you know, ma'am, is a scenario led entirely by the state infrastructure of Serbian universities. 

With the rector of Belgrade at the head, with all the deans at the head, it was the official Serbian state academic world that led the student movement. 

Secondly, the Serbian scenario was a scenario that developed over two years, in 700 or so days. 

Thirdly, the student list in Serbia faced a number of 30 or so small opposition parties that reached a maximum of, if I'm not mistaken, 7-8%. So, there was no opposition party in Serbia like the Democratic Party. 

So what I suggest to all of them is that they have every right to take every step, just not to believe in what is not real. /Alfapress.al
