"You want to fix a party that is dead!"/ Alimehmeti denies that the

Ilir Alimehmeti, invited to the show "The Unexposed" on MCN TV, spoke about the new platform that has started with Salianji and the supporters of the DP. Alimehmeti said that this movement does not aim at the party leadership and was careful to emphasize several times that the chairman of this party is Berisha, but added that the party must be energized and voters must be represented. Alimehmeti said that he does not want the party to split and that he will not be part of this movement if the party splits. 

Ylli Rakipi: You are probably trying to fix something that cannot be fixed. How to revive a dying person… The DP is what we see. The flag is there, Vokshi, Paloka, and so on. So you want to change something that the doctor has created with great care?

Ilir Alimehmeti: Even when you opened it, you talked about the past and present Platform. The Platform of Berisha against Basha is different from the discussion that is taking place today. He definitely took it from Lulzim Basha. The party belongs to Dr. Berisha. He is the chairman, I have voted for him twice. It is not an anti-chairman or pro-chairman movement, but a struggle and an effort for unity. There are different energies within the DP, which are represented by different people. Only one of the major forces is widely represented. Here arises the need to better represent the currents that are in the DP. We want to unite the strength of the DP together, in a DP that is as complete as possible, so that it will be the leader of the opposition, in the fight for power tomorrow. It is not a platform against the chairman and to take the chairman's place. 

Ylli Rakipi: Are you looking for a faction in the DP, or a change in leadership in the DP?

Ilir Alimehmeti: You know that next spring, there will be an opportunity to vote for the leading figures of the DP. Many of these figures need some kind of refresh, to represent the electorate. Over half a million people have voted. The DP must be strengthened, through figures, opening, re-establishment. These were the promises that were made, they were promises that have stood. If we return to these tracks… I entered the DP in April 2022, they were difficult days for Berisha. I know very well where I stand. If it is seen as a division, I do not support the division but only the unification. There is a need for a change of some figures. These are discussed first in the leadership structures, but there is a need, there is a need. It is not like Dr. Berisha's Pulpit. It is a re-energizing format, people seek to be represented.

Ylli Rakipi: So you're saying that the doctor can't move the ball from there?

Ilir Alimehmeti: In your words, yes.

Ylli Rakipi: Will you vote for Berisha again?

Ilir Alimehmeti : Is there anyone who doubts this?

Ilir Alimehmeti: Let's discuss.

Ylli Rakipi: We know that he is the president, even after death he will be the president.

Ilir Alimehmeti : The voting process should be open and transparent. But if someone is voted out, it's up to them to lead.

Ylli Rakipi : This is the doctor's property. You are asking for property retouching. For example, Flamur falls and one of you goes. Alive in the world Alimehmet... If the doctor falls, these people can fall. He chose these people. You deserve seats because of the votes, but the doctor doesn't think so.
Berisha says that those who came to the Durrës meetings are not democrats.

Ilir Alimehmeti : I was invited, I know some of them. However, what we need today as the DP, we need a higher organizational level. There is no doubt about this. From this organizational aspect, it can be done much better.

Ylli Rakipi : The doctor said you have a private initiative.

Ilir Alimehmeti: Is it in favor of the Democratic Party? We meet people continuously. When we meet people, we do not meet them with mandates, but spontaneously. I do not know of any type of meeting that does not strengthen the Democratic Party. If it is conceived as something divisive, I do not support the divisiveness, because I entered at a moment when the divisiveness had caused great damage. There is also a need, not only for numbers, but also for organization,
