Former DP MP Ervin Salianji has written a letter from prison, where he says, among other things, that Prime Minister Rama imposes his character on the constitution and his personality on the government.
Salianji says that the Socialists have administered more power in these 34 years, but emphasizes that "In the event of change, of rotation, the SP and the Renaissance would go into a frightening and dark abyss."
"They have lost the basic values that such an organization stands for, and have intrigued and divided among themselves for more anger and revenge of a lifetime," writes the former Democratic MP.
As for the Democratic Party, Saianjit is surprised that unlike other forces in the country, and especially in contrast to what is known today as "Rilindja", the DP has managed to preserve its soul.
"This wealth that is still preserved, this democratic spirit is the most valuable asset that this party has today, 34 years after its creation. And it is undoubtedly the greatest asset it has, to succeed, to triumph in the upcoming elections. From this freedom, from this character, anti-conformism arises, from which the change that this country definitely needs comes to life."
Letter from cell 6 of Ervin Salianj:
Rama like Hibatullah Akhundzada! He imposes his character for the constitution, his personality for the government!
In 34 years in post-communist Albania, a political force could have done many things. It could have governed, it could have brought results, it could have lost, it could have spent a long time in opposition. It might not have survived.
Unlike other forces in the country, and especially in contrast to what is known today as "Rilindja", the Democratic Party has managed to preserve its soul.
The Socialists have administered more power in these 34 years, undoubtedly. They have secured the lives of many people at the top of this group with wealth. But they have also ruined the souls of their own people.
In the event of change, of rotation, the SP and the Renaissance would go into a frightening and dark abyss. They have lost the basic values for which such an organization stands, and have intrigued and divided among themselves for more anger and revenge of a lifetime.
What is their fable today? Why are they there, and why do they want to keep their chair at all costs? Is there a big idea, beyond their leaders and representatives, that guides them. Are there moral landmarks? A goal above personal interests? None of these. Therefore, with the departure of power, the socialists will lose that compass that holds them together today. The need for benefit and protection from the law is the only ideology they have. Precisely because of this, the crisis of their conscience is extremely deep, recognizing their entanglement with evil, with wrongdoing, with corruption and crime.
The loss of the soul for the "rebirthists" brought the loss of character. They are the product of a matrix. If you look at the deputies and ministers, even their gestures are now the same as Edi Rama. They simply want to be his image. This type of cult, we know what it produces. A totalitarianism, which then applied to governance, brings serious deformations. This totalitarianism has produced a Constitution that has Rama's character as the government, his personality! This week he did not accept the interpellation requested by the Parliamentary Group of the Democratic Party, inventing a new constitutional norm, because according to him and the rebirthists, his will is the highest norm. At another event, he had gathered the ambassadors and fixed them with Hibatullah Akhundzada of Afghanistan teaching them what democracy is, who leads in Albania and how the United States could not succeed in Afghanistan and if Hibatullah Rama does not have the will, he will fail in Albania too.
Where the whims and personal humors of the leader become the norm and the law. As is the case, for example, where someone who holds a press conference, denounces the proven fact that the brother of the Minister of the Interior is a convicted drug trafficker, he is sentenced to prison. Someone who has not filed a report at all, is sentenced for false reporting.
In contrast to the socialists, especially with this amalgam that Edi Rama built with the influx of unbridled and greedy arrivators indulging in abuses, the members of our political family have preserved an idea, a fable, a kind of aspiration, despite all the difficulties of 12 years of oppression and marginalization.
The Democratic Party today has as many characters as it has members. This kind of diversity may be disadvantageous in an organizational and electoral sense, but it is undoubtedly a great asset of this force.
Everyone is different, has their own world. In the DP in recent years, there was a great battle, to oppose, to disagree. But there is a goal where things take direction. That is the truth. It is the finding of who is in their right mind, who is serious about the fight. You may not agree with the leader of the Democrats on many aspects. And in fact, you can even say them to their faces. But, politics is realism, and in the end, the one who has the trust of the majority of Democrats, and even though different from each other, is also right.
This still preserved wealth, this democratic spirit is the most valuable asset that this party has today, 34 years after its creation. And it is undoubtedly the greatest asset it has, to succeed, to triumph in the upcoming elections. From this freedom, from this character, anti-conformism arises, from which the change that this country definitely needs comes to life.
