The candidate for deputy from the ranks of the Social Democratic Party, Frashër Krasniqi, has said that the opposition parties feel intimidated by the acting Prime Minister Albin Kurti.
Krasniqi said that an opposition that feels intimidated cannot be called an opposition.
He said that the Bureau for Confiscation of Unjustified Assets is a political tool for lynching and control. Krasniqi said that the LDK voted for this and that the other opposition parties will also vote for it, as they feel intimidated by Kurti.
“They feel intimidated by Kurti, as they feel that if they don’t accept it then Kurti will say that you have unjustifiable wealth to hide and that is the reason why it is not accepted”, said Krasniqi in “Zgđedjej ne Kohë”.
He said that it is impossible to fight “authoritarianism, if all the time there are signs of readiness for a coalition with it”.
Krasniqi said that the problem that Kosovo has today is the lack of opposition legitimacy.
“You come out and complain that for 5 years the prime minister has captured the state, and for 5 years you had Vjosa Osmani as president who stayed with Kurt until the end. And at the very end he told him that he wanted to cooperate with you again. When the LDK comes out or Osmani talks about the captured justice system, the citizen automatically says, well, since you are like that with authoritarian tendencies, why did you want to cooperate with him. This is losing his legitimacy opposition and is making it non-existent”, said Krasniqi.
He said that Vjosa Osmani has not decreed the chief prosecutor of the state for 4 years and more, going to Kurti.
“We have been without a chief prosecutor for 4 years, with an acting chief prosecutor for 4 years, and we are still here. Do you know why? After Kurti came out and said that ‘so and so pistachio, you never became chief prosecutor,’ and the president stayed behind Kurti’s statement and did not decree it permanently for 4 years, even to this day we are without a chief prosecutor”, said Krasniqi.
He also said that the Democratic Party of Kosovo constantly criticizes Kurti for trying to control all the institutions, to create an autocracy, and in the end does not set red lines for the Vetëvendosje Movement.
“One person has even gone further, the representative of PDK, Arian Tahiri, has publicly stated that ‘we will make him the quorum for president after the elections, because we will not leave the country by going into a crisis.’
