Former candidate for chairman of the Democratic Party (DP), Fatbardh Kadilli has accused Thursday Head Lulzim Basha of incompetence to lead the second biggest political force in Albania as the US has declared “war” against Former Prime Minister and historical leader of DP, Sali Berisha, on charges of corruption.

According to Kadilli, it is the decisions, the political ideas you proclaims, the causes, the victories and the losses, the courage and realism to see without hesitation the truth, the battles, the comrades you choose, the ability to build partnerships with cooperators, with citizens, with allies, with factors different, the name you create as an image, as an icon, as a public perception and character that make you a leader.

However, the former chair candidate stated that Berisha has the right to defend himself, his family and history, but the chairman must speak on behalf of the party, defend it and maintain a principled position on behalf of the party.

“Berisha stated today that Basha is with him. Basha continues to be silent. If Basha's silence is an approval then we can say that for the first time in 30 years, since the day of its establishment, the DP is officially in open conflict with the State Department.

This is a very serious problem, more for the present and especially for the future of the DP, than of the State Department. It is not known if Basha, already with his shoulders behind the wall, will break the silence. Today Berisha spoke and said that he does not move either from PD or from his.

In the case that he will be eventually forced to formally separate from Berisha, this cannot be done with his usual tactic of encouraging others to speak, or encouraging them after they have spoken. Basha's long silence is not maturity, prudence, care for the confused DP, but it is fear and inability to lead”, emphasized Kadilli among other things.
