After traveling urgently to Kavaja this Monday evening due to the shooting in his party’s electoral office, Chairman of the Democratic Party (DP), Lulzim Basha described the wounding of the secretary of this party as an assassination attempt on the DP and democracy.

In a statement to the media, Basha publicly blamed Prime Minister Edi Rama for the event, while emphasizing that the latter was afraid of losing on April 25. Among other things, he called on the citizens of Kavaja not to be afraid.

"Tonight Kavaja has faced a serious event, an assassination attempt against the Democratic Party, against the Alliance for Change by a prime minister who knows that on Sunday he loses. Kavaja wins and Albania wins.

He has lost all human boundaries, today he is silent while his people with violence and assassination against democracy, show that this regime has come to an end. They want to intimidate Kavaja, PD, the coalition for change, they want to shut us up.

They have never shut our mouths, we are not afraid of them, they will get the deserved answer with a vote on Sunday because Kavaja knows very well, such acts have marked great turns, the overthrow of dictators and dictatorships, they show fear by a man and a handful of people. Albanians are determined to remove them and unite to bring about change," said Basha.
