The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, delivered the main speech at the opposition protest, where he leveled strong accusations against Prime Minister Edi Rama, holding him responsible for the depopulation of the country.<\/p>\n
In a speech marked by harsh rhetoric, Berisha declared that the prime minister and the ruling majority are politically finished.<\/p>\n
\u201cEdi Rama tonight is a political corpse. Rilindja is a political corpse\u2014it is waiting for its funeral, and we will conduct that funeral,\u201d Berisha said, drawing applause from supporters gathered in the square.<\/p>\n
Berisha also addressed skeptics of the opposition\u2019s protests, stressing that their goal is the removal of the prime minister from power.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn your feet, Albanians, with the historic mission of removing Rama. To save the Albanian family and democracy. We are here today, and I am convinced that rightly so there are citizens in the square and others following us who say: \u2018What will these people do?\u2019 We will do this: \u2018either we will die, or we will live for freedom.\u2019 Woe to anyone who tests us. We will go to Surrel\u2026 When we have come out with this oath, we have never lost. Never can a handful of thieves trample us, blacken Albania\u2026 He has declared war on us; we declare war on him,\u201d Berisha stated.<\/p>\n
According to him, the opposition has fulfilled its mission toward citizens and the international community.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe opposition has done its duty before you. The opposition proved to the world how Edi Rama turned your votes into a farce. It proved that Rama is an enemy of pluralism. It proved that Rama is the boss of drug cartels,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Berisha concluded his speech with a call for civic mobilization.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese carry one message: on your feet, Albanians, in the historic mission to remove Edi Rama, to save Albania, to save democracy and the Albanian family.\u201d<\/p>\n
In closing, he reiterated the opposition\u2019s determination not to retreat.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo those who ask questions, I say: you are right, but I give you my word that we will either die or live for freedom. Woe to anyone who tests us. And you know well that when we have come out with this motivation, we have never lost\u2014we have won,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
