During his stay in Brussels, opposition leader, Basha gave a short interview to the Albanian media in the European capital.

“I thanked the European People’s Party and all sister parties for the great support they gave us before and during the election campaign. Certainly, we shared the great concern about the election massacre, about what the ODIHR has already identified in the preliminary report as two main problems: the massive vote buying and merging of state and party into a single, as well as the need to draft a platform to restore legitimacy and democracy,” DP leader Basha said.

“We have had extraordinary support from the European People’s Party at every level, at the political level but also at the level of their representatives in European institutions. From the European Commission, to the European Parliament, to the European Council and we will continue to have an extremely close relationship and a great support from the European People’s Party in this battle, because this battle is not just for the Democratic Party, but for democracy, for Albania and Albanians. The values of this party, the investment of this party and the member states in the Albanian democracy in the past 30 years will enable us to overcome together this extraordinary challenge due to the April 25 massacre,” Basha said. //a.i/
