Hope for Albania remains outside Parliament
2025-09-20 09:31:04 / EDITORIAL
From the way this legislature began, it is impossible not to notice a bitter truth: the Albanian Parliament is no longer a place for real debate, a confrontation of ideas or a mechanism of control over power. Its role has been degraded to a closed stage, where everything happens according to a repeated scenario: the Prime Minister speaks with arrogance and cynicism, the parliamentary opposition protests loudly – but the result is always the same: nothing changes, on the contrary. This legislature will carry at any moment the risk of constitutional changes that could erode the foundations of the Republic of Albania.
July 26, 2024, the day of the adoption of the new Electoral Code - when the Democratic Party deputies joined their votes with Edi Rama - was the unconditional surrender of the parliamentary opposition, in exchange for the personal mandates of the deputies who voted for him.
In this institutionally paralyzed reality, hope for a different Albania can no longer come from within the Assembly hall. That hope, if it still exists, is outside the parliament, in that part of society and the political spectrum that still believes that democracy can make sense in this country. But even there, the situation is more fragile than ever.
If the parliamentary opposition identifies with the Democratic Party, which will reconfirm Sali Berisha as a central figure in 2026, then it must be realistically accepted: Edi Rama is very close to a fifth mandate. Not because he necessarily has the support of the moral majority of the country, but because he is faced with no serious, credible alternative that can inspire and instill hope, a political force that has lost its political purpose.
Therefore, this is the moment for a serious reflection on any opposition flow outside the parliament. It is time to decide whether they want to continue their political existence only as surviving slogans, or as forces that truly want to represent a new project for the country.
This is the moment for every clear-thinking opposition individual, every social group and citizen to reflect, because in the opposition and under these conditions, no one is enough.
Politics is not just a race for power, it is a responsibility to build a future. And this future is not built by surrendering, nor by fear, nor by petty calculations "give me what I give", nor by hypocrisy and empty words. It is built first with courage, with vision, with people who know how to listen, act, connect with citizens, understand the pain, injustices, daily impossibilities. It is built with people who do not give up and who have the public interest as their engine with actions and not with words.
The opposition should not exist only to be against Rama. It should offer alternatives and be credible. For this, it should be completely different from him. Honest, open, connected to reality, humble before the citizens. And above all, freed from the political legacy that has made the citizens lose trust.
Strategies are not built when elections are approaching.
It is never too late to do what is right.
