The Chairman of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, at the closing meeting in the Dibër District, after congratulating the residents for the magnificent reception, told them that May 11 is a meeting with history.
Berisha accused Edi Rama of leaving schools without children and houses empty in Dibër, so on May 11 he called on them to separate Albania from dictatorship and misery.
Excerpt from Berisha's speech in Dibër:
Good evening and warmest greetings to the people of Dibra and the noble Dibra people, the most boundless gratitude for this extraordinary reception, for this enthusiasm, for this light of the historic victory of the Albanian opposition on May 11, 2025.
Unlimited gratitude for your precious support, your stance, that of your predecessors, on the right side of history, on the side of Albania, on the side of the nation.
Dear friends, we gathered tonight at this rally, the rally of victory, the rally with which you convey from this historic boulevard, which bears the name of a prominent man of the nation, Elez Isufi, the message of love for Albania and the nation.
The message of farewell on May 11th from a great evil that has gripped Dibra, Matin, and all of Albania for the past 12 years.
The farewell message on May 11 from the Albanian, Albanian-speaking Pashiqi, who did the greatest evil to the Albanians that they have known in their history.
Every Dibrani and every Dibrani, every Albanian and every Albanian on May 11th meets history.
On May 11, he makes his solemn decision to separate Albania from the dictatorship of crime, drugs, and the misery of Albanians.
To stop the nation from a reversal it has not known in centuries.
Dear friends, Fatbardha, the respected teacher, said here that Edi Rama left a school without children, an empty house in Dibër. I would add with great pain, a school without children, a house without children, and an empty cradle.
Never before, as a nation, has any war, any disaster, emptied us in this way.
I am coming from Mati, a lady from Mati, capable, well-educated, but who has come to work for Mati and Albania, announced that Mati had 13 births last year. Erseka had only one birth in a year.
Never have we been so empty.
What happened to us?
For 12 years, my friends, Edi Rama used free movement, this fundamental right of every citizen, to expel Albanians from Albania.
Edi Rama and his regime used the most brutal weapons of the most inhumane regimes against Albanians. He used poverty, misery, unemployment, and destitution to empty Dibra, Mati, and Albania.
Edi Rama governed for 12 years. When he came to power, Dibra and the people of Dibra, Albania and the Albanians were growing. Their salaries, their pensions were increasing every year. Their businesses, their farms were expanding year after year.
Albanians, together with their love for Albania, and the people of Dibra for Dibra, had hope for an ever better day.
Meanwhile, Edi Rama killed the hope of Albanians. He brought to power a handful of thieves that times have never known in history.
Friends, every year and more, it plunged Albanians into ever greater poverty.
Their pensions were frozen, their salaries were frozen, prices increased by 200 percent.
The tables were halved. The young and those who could took to the dirt roads to survive.
They took the Dibrani dream, the Albanian dream, with them to build it in other places.
Dibra farmers are going bankrupt one after another because their subsidies were removed, customs were opened. The subsidized products of Balkan farmers, and especially of Serbia, are flooding the markets today and today 80 percent of fruits and vegetables come from abroad. Meanwhile, the lands remain barren and the products rot in Albania.
It created a breed of governments that don't want to know about medicine, pensioners, or young people.
