Rama prays to Lulzim Basha for dialogue (Letra)

Republic of Albania Prime Minister Edi Rama has just posted a public letter to Democratic Party Chairman Lulzim Basha.

There Rama begs opposition leader to sit at the dialogue table to leave Albania's violence and protests in the best of the future, Periscopi notes.

The chairman of the Government of Albania seems to have understood the opposition's important and critical position in Albanian political life, since throughout the letter it refers to Basha in her own and title names in legalisation, with a large letter.

In the poor hope that my invitation will be taken into account and congratulations that, in addition to the propagandistic sentences, I will also take back the positive answer to this invitation, please Mr. Mayor to accept the expression of my desire for untrained health for you and your family.” concludes his Rama letter.

This is the full letter:

LET E R BULZIM PUBLICS

Mr. Mayor,

I address this public letter in trying to call Suaj's reason and return the only way democracy recognises for dealing with disputes between the parties: Dialogue!

I certainly don't have any understanding of the course chosen by Jush since you abandoned the positive agreement of May 17, 2017 and decided to take your group, completely off the rails laid out on that deal. I don't understand how to understand either hate language or the burning of mandates or the inspired violence by Jush, from which you have never distanced yourself; of which you are publicly accused by name and surnamed by Albania's partners and irreplaceable friends, and as a result, today a small number of Tuaj followers find themselves in the hands of justice. I don't understand how to understand anything, nor the unprecedented boycott of elections, and leave it, blackmailing the country over the citizens of this country, that you won't let them vote on June 30th.

But the complete lack of my ability to understand as much as possible does not prevent me, rather, I am publicly directing you, this time in writing, the invitation to sit down without wasting time on the table of Dialogue. Dialogue cannot prevent either your extreme position in terms of local elections or my extreme inability regarding the constitutional date of elections.

Political life does not end on June 30th, and to be clear between us, the June 30th elections you can make it difficult, if you're going to the end of the road where you're leading the political grouping, but there's no chance you stop them going. But dialogue should start despite what you say and think you do on June 30th, and despite the fact that I have no legal power to negotiate on June 30th, even though you're free to discuss it at Dialogue Table.

I invite you into an unconditional dialogue and under conditions where Albania and Albanians do not deserve the deterioration of a completely meaningless political situation, which is completely undeservedly costing them. The vast majority of them, including most of those who did not vote and are intent on ever voting for me and the government I run, want dialogue between us, not frustration between Albanians and harming Albania, because of us. The less they want what you're offering them today, in a street where there's nothing my problem with going from bad to worse politically as a grouping, but where they're lost and nobody comes out to win.

In the poor hope that my invitation will be taken into account and with the wish that in addition to the propagandistic sentences, I will also take back the positive answer to this invitation, please Mr. Mayor to accept the expression of my desire for untrained health for you and your family.

Edi Rama
