David McAllister, chairman of the foreign policy committee of the European Parliament, is not an unknown and insignificant name in Albanian politics.
In May 2017 he was put in charge of negotiating the political crisis between Rama and Basha. Five years later McAllister finds Albania another crisis. Not between the majority and the opposition, but the crisis deeper within the Democratic Party, since its inception on December 11, 1990. David McAllister is also vice-president of the European People’s Party where the DP belongs. After saying that there can be no progress without a strong opposition, he explained what will happen between PPE and Sali Berisha, already at the head of PD.
David McAllister: We are following the developments in the DP. We will provide support like PPE to overcome divisions. We will have a PPE conference in Rotterdam in the coming weeks, from where we will have meetings and discuss developments in Albania.
While McAllister said that the status with which he visits Albania does not give him the opportunity to comment during the developments in the DP, what is expected to happen at the PPE meeting in Rotterdam, German MP Gunther Krichbaum warned last week when he said that with Berisha’s return to the helm of the DP, European partners would be set in motion and consequently the DP’s membership in the European People’s Party would be called into question.
Sakaq McAllister from the House of Europe in Tirana also spoke about European integration.
David McAllister: Efforts are being made to unblock the integration process. We understand your frustration. We call on the European Council to open negotiations between the two countries. Let’s look at what happens to the French presidency. Albania has no time to lose in pursuing reforms. Albania is implementing substantial reforms.
