Turmoil in the PD: Selimi is dismissed, party in crisis
Emergency meetings of the parliamentary group
The vast majority of opposition delegates are against the chairman, backing Berisha’s move. Amid heated exchanges over a secret ballot, Hajdari: "For a puppet chairman, the plea [ ? ] to warm-handed, head-down governments is not justified"
TIRANA - On Monday evening, at the meeting of the leadership of the Democratic Party, the MP Arben Imami and the head of the parliamentary group, Tritan Shehu, were discussed for five hours without any result. Selimi refused to accept a secret ballot. The problem was that around 80 deputies and members of the National Council openly came out in favor of replacing the chairman. At the end of the session, an emergency meeting of the parliamentary group was decided. The debate began after part of the delegates requested a secret ballot on confidence in the chairman. Hajdari declared that for a "puppet" chairman silence is not justified. There were harsh exchanges and many interruptions in the hall.

TIRANA - "I had prepared myself gradually for the sudden step I am now facing. But what hurts me most is that people who were close to me are attacking me," Selimi said after his dismissal. He described the decision as hasty and said he believes many delegates were put under pressure. According to him, this situation will be clarified in the party forums and he will not withdraw from political life.
