Ombudsman, Kalaja: Disappointed that the Democratic Party did not come up with a name

Adriana Kalaja, in a direct connection to the studio of "Off the Record" by Andrea Danglli, on A2 CNN, expressed her disappointment that the Democratic Party did not come up with a name for the People's Advocate.

"I am disappointed that the Democratic Party did not come up with a name for the People's Advocate, of course it did. I told Mr. Berisha that we came up to the moment when the DP gave the signatures for the candidacies, not confusing the vote with the support to enter the race, for 8 names. I have offered myself in the race. Out of the eight people, one name should come out, because the DP has that many signatures. Whether we like it or not. Maybe Adriana Kalaja would not be the winner, it would be someone else. I respect the process. The DP parliamentary group still has time, until Thursday", said lawyer Kalaja.

"He should enter all the signatures he has given for the eight candidates, put them in the race, decide the winner by political decision and send it to Taulant Balla and Edi Rama. The Democratic Party should not ask, this is an absolutely unacceptable complex. In fact, for me it is unnecessary to say "we are not running this because Taulant Balla is bringing us down". Then, let the DP leave the Parliament because Balla is bringing everything down. The Democratic Party should send its own candidate. They have until Thursday to do it by voting. The voting should be honest, secret. If I am not supported by the DP, I cannot ask for the votes of the Socialist Party", added Kalaja.

According to her, "this is a political decision to show the public that the Ombudsman is not returning to the race."

"I don't think it's correct to withdraw from the competition," Kalaja continued.
