Basha's Full Message of Resignation

In a publication on the social network “Facebook”, Basha writes she bears responsibility for the election outcome, while answering those who say they didn't contribute to the DP's victory, transmits Periscope.

He called the 25 June election outcome disappointing.

Read his complete scripture:

For this reason, with immediate effect I have decided to freeze all my organisational functions as head of the Democratic Party and delegate them two vice-presidents and secretary-general, to organise with full decision-making power the race for the chairman of the Democratic Party under the principle one member vote.

I cannot start this communication differently, except with heartfelt gratitude, humbly, for hundreds of thousands of citizens of the country who supported, believed and voted my project and the Democratic Party for a strong and secure economy tomorrow.

I am grateful to thousands of Democrats who worked in a vigorous but vigorous campaign, without stopping, day and night, our commissioners, numerators, and observers who with dignity and heroic courage fulfilled their mission.

My project was born with citizens.

I have in my mind all the people I've met, from north to south, from east to west, and I know their troubles.

I've been with them and I've been talking, on a difficult day, shamelessly abandoned by the government since the first hour.

When covered by rain and mud, when they had lost their produce without selling, when they could not send their children to school, when they did not take walks in a small shop when they had closed the buttons of taxes and fines when they had lost a relative to the state's injustice when they were left only after the children left home for a better life.

Hundreds of thousands of citizens, parents, mothers, sisters, young and old.

Most of the silent part of this place, with which I started a journey. With those who responded to my invitation to a collapse of the system, our protest at the freedom tent, where we joined for 90 days and 90 nights, where the dream of a new republic came to life.

I know well, that they didn't expect me, that they didn't cry out to me and they didn't open their hearts with me, because I was doing miracles, or that I had a bag of money with me and I could reduce their pain.

I have not been expected and entrusted with their suffering, hopes, and dreams, making calculations for power interests.

I know and I've seen this in the eyes of people:

All those who participated and who together started a journey had hope, looked for hope, and looked to me, the Democratic Party, in our project.

But that wasn't enough.

In the June 25th election, something else happened.

Despite the efforts that the Democratic Party and I made, with the law of discrimination, the struggle with noncompetitive drugs, with the obligation we made to Edi Rama by removing half the government, with the awareness of international partners, again crime and dirty money, the state pressure did not stop.

The vote's purchase was massive, replacing once again the debate on the alternative, with the margin of money for the vote, depreciating the plan and the project with payment for deepening poverty, to make it easier to exchange money. With dirty drug money and government corruption.

This was an uneven race, but certainly a race where I never intend to compete with the same means, nor to invite Albanian citizens.

What happened in the June 25th elections is the triumph of lawlessness.

Indeed, the Democratic Party and I received a disappointing result.

But although as we all know, many Albanians have been under offer to exchange their vote for money, yet over 450 thousand citizens refused, decided to move forward with dignity, believing in the value of civic and European principles to which we aspire.

Hundreds of thousands of Albanians who refused to sell are an inspiration to me, to democratics and honest citizens, not only to stop our project, but to move ahead with more energy, courage and determination.

It is clear as sunlight, that crime, gangs, drugs, vote traffickers and human dignity have only one obstacle, only resistance.

And me, and the Democratic Party, together with the honest citizens of the country, are not given. This is a fight for life and death for the country, for people, for the future, a war we intend to carry on until victory.

Of course, I don't put in a bag the Socialists or honest left who continue to support their parties. They are also deceived and betrayed because they wrongly think they are a majority, when the mandates for the majority have actually not come out of them, but from the dirty corridors of power and crime and gangs.

There is nothing to be enjoyed by those who celebrate this masquerade today. There's nothing more sad than buying and selling votes. This may indeed keep a party in power, but a nation, a country is once and for all separate from civilization and leads to the dark pits of those countries and cultures that have nothing to do with freedom, values with human rights and human dignity.

We will not allow this. I won't allow it.

It's worth fighting for.

I have reflected deeply these three days.

I take all responsibility for the outcome.

Now Democrats and Albanians deserve a complete balance and open and true confrontation, among those who worked hard and hard for the victory of the Democratic Party and those who rose up against it once they lost their coughs.

As far as I've been wrong and where I've been wrong, I can't determine that even those who never worked a day for the Democratic Party's victory.

The Democrats will determine this.

For this reason, with immediate effect I have decided to freeze all my organisational functions as head of the Democratic Party and delegate them two vice-presidents and secretary-general, to organise with full decision-making power the race for the chairman of the Democratic Party under the principle one member vote.

I have a project and my project will debate and assess the Democrats in an open, fair and equal debate and competition.

The easiest thing for me to do would be to leave.

But I know what happened and I am determined to take responsibility.

Not by running away, not by abandoning the Democrats and hundreds of thousands of Albanians, but by fighting to the end, for them and for them.
