Former democratic deputy Ervin Salianji, in a letter from Fier prison where he is serving his sentence, compared Prime Minister Edi Rama with the leader of the Taliban, Hibatullah Akhundzada.

Salianji says that Rama imposes his character on the Constitution and his personality on the government.

Full letter

In 34 years in post-communist Albania, a political force could have done many things. He could have governed, he could have brought results, he could have lost, he could have spent a lot of time in opposition. He might not have survived.

Unlike other forces in the country, but especially in contrast to what is today known as “Renaissance”, the Democratic Party has managed to preserve its spirit.

Socialists have administered more power in these 34 years, undoubtedly. They have ensured the lives of many people in the dome of this group with wealth. But they have lost their souls, even their own.

In the eventuality of change, of rotation, SP and rebirth, would go down a scary, dark precipice. They have lost the basic values ​​for which such an organization stands, and have intrigued and torn among themselves for more grudges and revenge of a lifetime.

What is their fable today? Why are they there, and why do they want to keep the chair at all costs? Is there a big idea, beyond the leaders and their representatives that guides them. Are there moral milestones? A goal over personal interests? None of these. Therefore, with the departure of power, the socialists will lose the 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 very deep, recognizing the plexus with evil, with wrong, with corruption and crime.

The loss of soul for the “revivalists” brought the loss of character. They are the product of a matrix. If you see it among MPs and ministers, they are now making the same gestures as Edi Rama. They just want to be his image. This kind of cult, you know what it produces. A totalitarianism, which is then applied to governance, brings serious deformations. This totalitarianism has produced that the Constitution has the character of Rama for 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 revivalists, his will is the highest norm. In another event, he had gathered the ambassadors and someone like Hibatullah Akhundzada from Afghanistan taught you what democracy is, who is leading in Albania and how the United States did not succeed in Afghanistan and if Hibatullah Rama is not willing, they will fail in Albania as well.

Where the whims and personal whims of the leader become the norm and the law. Like this, for example, where the one 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 punished for making a false report.

In contrast to the socialists, especially to this amalgam that Edi Rama built with the currents of unbridled and insatiable arrivistes 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 oppression and marginalization.

Today, the Democratic Party has as many characters as it has members. This kind of diversity can be disadvantageous in the organizational and electoral sense, but it is undoubtedly a great asset of this force.

Everyone is different, has his own world. In the DP in recent years, a great battle was fought, to oppose, to disagree. But there is a goal where things take direction. She is the truth. It is the determination of who is in their right mind, who is serious about the war. You may disagree with the Democratic leader on many points. And in fact, you can even tell them in their eyes. But politics is realism, and in the end the one who has the confidence of the majority of the democrats, and why they are different from each other, is also right.

This wealth 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 that he has, to succeed, to triumph in the coming elections. From this freedom, from this character, anti-conformism is born, from where the change that this country definitely needs comes to life.
