President, did the game start? / Berisha’s signal after Rama’s joke and the divided numbers of PD

The night before, among the journalists, he encountered quite a few difficulties between questions, but with only one answer gave the sign of why he feels safe in the first place: as there are no opponents.

““I am talking about the living and you dead”, said Rama.

Sali Berisha thinks a little differently. The winner within the opposition after March 6, formalized by a court decision, and challenging even today by participating in the meeting of the parliamentary group from which Basha and the Americans were expelled, Sali Berisha today began the action of formalization as leader of the opposition.

Or the door where Rama has to knock to solve the great problems of the country.

“You will say that he has started the work to buy deputies, he will fail with shame”, said Berisha.

At first glance, there seems to be a denunciation of a political affair of Rama.

In fact, it was the signal that Berisha sent to the Socialist leader to give him the chance to be involved in the presidential consultations.

This would be worth it for Berisha to cement the positions at the head of the Democratic Party and completely exclude Lulzim Basha from being a factor in the consultation table for the election of the president, even if Edi Rama does them simply to say internationals that the opposition was also involved in the process.

According to the Constitution, the majority can elect the president himself in the third round by a simple majority, which it has.

But it would not be the first time a majority has been forced to sit down with the opposition to elect a consensual president in the first two rounds.

As happened in 2002, when although the Socialist majority had the votes, she was forced to sit down and elect not only a consensual president, but a name proposed by the opposition. But the situation in 2022 is complicated because in such a case, with which opposition should Rama sit? With Berisha?

Sali Berisha himself owes a debt to Edi Rama that dates back to July 2007 when he bought 7 socialist deputies, who voted in favor of electing Bamir Topi president.

With Sali Berisha, Edi Rama has made big deals like the constitutional changes in 2008.

But Berisha of 2008 is not what he is today, a ‘non grata’ of the USA.

And this explains why Lulzim Basha appeared today smiling in the assembly yard.

He has 10 deputies behind him today.

With the SP having 74 seats plus three Social Democrats, it only needs 7 more to elect a president in the first round.

Seeing the current climate of the PD parliamentary group, Lulzim Basha is closer to sitting in front of Rama in the presidential bazaar to give the right 7 votes, but why not the name of the new president, the left majority.

An action that in silence and distance would also receive American approval.

But the game has just begun. Berisha did not die, Rama did not buy and Basha did not leave.

Rather enthusiastic as always about his victories, he promises clear weather.

“The water may still be turbulent, but it can calm down,” Basha said.
