CDU MP Peter Beyer greets the DP Assembly: Elect a new chairman and board, I have some ideas who it could be but I'm keeping my mouth shut!

The Democratic Party Assembly was also greeted by the important MP of the CDU, the ruling party in Germany, Peter Beyer.

“You are currently the most influential and important opposition party in Albania and the expectations from me, from the CDU of Germany and of course from Europe and the rest of the world are very high,” he said.

"Honorable Mr. President, Honorable Dr. Sali Berisha, delegates, guests, friends of the Democratic Party of Albania.

My name is Peter Beyer and I am a member of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the German Bundestag, in Berlin.

I regret that I cannot be with you today at this important congress of your party, but time commitments prevent me from being with you physically. However, I am with you in mind and heart.

I appreciate this opportunity to at least address you with a few words.

You have a very important party congress. Make big decisions, elect a new board, a new chairman, a new president. I have some ideas about who it might be, but I'll keep my mouth shut.

Regarding the challenges that lie ahead and the responsibility that comes with them, I want to say the following;

Your country, your wonderful and beloved Albania, faces a very big challenge; the path towards the European Union.

In a few weeks, the European Union-Western Balkans summit will be held in Montenegro. Representatives from your country will also be present there, but you should keep an eye on them.

You are currently the most influential and important opposition party in Albania and the expectations from me, from the CDU of Germany and of course from Europe and the rest of the world are very high.

We are counting on you and please take this responsibility with the utmost seriousness.

There is no time for conflicts among you or internal competition, but you must all focus, like us in the CDU in Germany, on a single goal; integration into the European Union.

Also, when it comes to Albania – you know this much better than I do – corruption must be fought, organized crime must be fought, and you must be and offer a real alternative for Albania, a leadership that truly paves the way for your country towards a prosperous and bright future.

On this occasion, I wish you a very successful party congress.

"The Democratic Party of Albania is dear to my heart and I convey my best wishes and greetings from the CDU, the Christian Democratic Union of Germany, to Tirana," he said.
