Lulzim Basha and Monika Kryemadhi signed the agreement for the April 25 elections this Monday. The 13-point document envisions economic recovery, a crackdown on oligarchs, meeting the conditions for opening negotiations and governing by the rule of law.
For the first time, the Democratic Party and the Socialist Movement for Integration enter parliamentary elections together.
Lulzim Basha and Monika Kryemadhi, the current leaders of the two political forces, chose March 1st to publicly sign the pact.
They left long after the turbulent past Meta-Berisha of April 1, 2013 when the President, then chairman of the SMI, left the DP and signed with the current opponent Edi Rama.
The leader of the Democrats spoke of a prosperous spring of change, while Kryemadhi vowed that the divergences between social democracy and the right will not divide these two parties.
The 13-point agreement stipulates that in case of governance, the two parties will transform the economy, commit to opening negotiations with the European Union and also give a chance to the young people here to stop the exodus abroad. The document also talks about hitting the oligarchs.
According to the agreement, it will compete with two lists to realize a more complete and comprehensive political-electoral representation and the coronation of the victory of the opposition in the April 25 elections.
"Facing and solving the critical problems of the country will be the basic objectives of the electoral program."
The agreement stipulates that representation at all levels of future government will be exercised proportionately on the basis of the election result.
DP and SMI have competed together in elections in a local electoral process, that of 2011, while the two parties have ruled in the second term of the Berisha government, from 2009 to 2013.
