Former Democratic Party Leadership Member Appointed to Government Post, Berisha: Rama Seeks to Corrupt the Opposition

Sali Berisha reacted to the decision to appoint a former senior Democratic Party official to head the National Tourism Agency, accusing Prime Minister Edi Rama of pursuing a policy of corrupting the opposition.

Responding to journalist Isa Myzyraj’s question about the appointment of the DP’s former secretary and former Leadership member, the Democratic Party leader said that, in his view, “corrupting the opposition, imprisoning the opposition and destroying it are the main policies of the dictator Edi Rama.”

According to Berisha, this policy involves people who “are bought and sold according to the government’s market.” Nevertheless, he stressed that the opposition remains unwavering in its confrontation with the ruling majority.

“I am certain that the opposition stands more determined and more invincible than ever and is ready to do everything to remove him from power,” Berisha said.

In the same statement, the DP leader also spoke about developments within the Socialist Party. He praised, in his words, “those socialists who burned the documents of the party of crime,” while describing Edi Rama as “politically hopeless.”

Berisha’s reaction followed the appointment of the former Democratic Party official as head of the National Tourism Agency, a decision that has prompted reactions across the political scene.
