Our note There are many ways to understand the deep crisis that has gripped the Democratic Party in these last years of its governing mandate. The reflection of this crisis are the metal errors in the governance of the rulers that came after 22 March. The opposition, in various forms, has conveyed this crisis, and this has not been done either as part of political struggle or as a passing passion, but as a tangible reality that damages the democratic process and the country's image. In recent days, faced with this crisis in the ruling party, unlike the whole atmosphere that accompanied the 5th anniversary of the creation of the PD, an atmosphere that was filled only by the changing colors of fireworks, even the leaders of that party have been forced to admit it. Their acknowledgement of this crisis is not any political change in position, but only an attempt at all costs to get ahead of the miserable state in which this party finds itself, its branches in the districts, its member sections; this forces them to sound the alarm. Specifically, as the former RD states, recently one of the activists of the Democratic Party branches in Cërrik and Bulqizë, two peripheral branches that represent neither the real strength of this party nor its reach among the media for its leadership, however, two of the most important figures of this party took part in this branch: the vice-chairman Tritan Shehu and Tomorr Dosti. What, among other things, did they say in their speeches?
