Democratic Party chairman Lulzim Basha has responded with some very harsh words to President-elect Ilir Meta, telling him his party, the Socialist Movement for Integration (LSI) will be in opposition on May 26. Basha labeled Meta’s pary as a limited company that will go bankrupt after the elections of June 25. Yesterday, Meta said in an electoral rally in Kamza that Basha and Rama will call LSI chairman Petrit Vasili on June 26^th, implying they’d like to be in a coalition with the winners LSI.

The Democrat leader asked Meta to keep the ethics requested by the post of President that he will take officialy in a few weeks.

Basha compared Meta to Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice”, saying he was elected President owing to a bargain with Edi Rama.

“The new President’s election was the last bargain of the Old Republic. They both (Rama and Meta) sat with an expensive bottle of wine and that was it. Nobody else was asked”, Basha said today.

“Two people with wine and fish chose the President of the Old Republic. Now, since Rama mentioned Shakespeare, I’d like to remind one of Shakespeare’s works, “The Merchant of Venice”. I’d like to tell the Merchant of Venice that was elected President to take it calmly and lovingly the fact that his party Ltd. will go towards total bankruptcy  on June 25”, the Democrat chairman said.

“Do not violate the ethics, because you are the elected President. Let Petrit (Vasili) take the bill of failure of the ltd”.
