Ervin Salianji: Berisha refuses to run for the Democratic Party because he is

Ervin Salianji, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, stated that Sali Berisha does not accept a competition with him in the DP, as he is weak and loses elections within the party. 

Salianji said he will not form a new party, but will fight within the DP! 

Ervin Salianji : Why is the DP important at this moment and the improvement of the DP for Albania? Every other party will need its own time to make change possible, this gives oxygen to Edi Rama. I say, since I have a significant contribution to the DP and I have support, the meeting rooms, in my and Berisha's meetings, there have been more people with mine. Sali Berisha has asked to enter the race and no one entered. I, despite the fact that there are no guarantees, it is a little over a month away from the race, there is no list, there is nothing, a farce. But I say again, let's have a race with the conditions that you set. Berisha, who according to the party statute should not be the chairman and should not be allowed to run.
Rama has never received more than 48%. The fragmentation of the vote, the problem of the opposition has brought this. The DP with a new leadership defeats Rama. This does not bring about rotation. Until today, even this gentleman in Hungary was told that he cannot do it. I see that there are two opinions, two different realities, one in the studio that you say as facts, this one wins, and another reality in society. If he wins and he's sure of it, why doesn't he compete? Because he's weak.

Baton Haxhiu : Why are you tired, we know the end and the beginning of this race.

Ervin Salianj : Politics is not a momentary duel but is a continuity. In the DP where I am, because of courage, boldness, because many others think these things but do not say them in public. If the DP does not change, it is impossible for us to defeat Edi Rama.

Ylli Rakipi : I agree. First, the opposition autocrat must be overthrown, so that the government autocrat can then be overthrown. 

Ervin Salianji : Don't ask me to throw away my investment and join a party.

Baton Haxhiu : He will win the local elections, the other elections.

Ervin Salianji : In May, the Democratic Party has elections, let's see if there will be any. If there is a farce, another discussion will come. Public debate. What is the meaning of the competition? There are equal conditions.

Baton Haxhiu : Better to hold the elections yourself than to legitimize them yourself.
