Where is the "re-established" Democratic Party going?

The May 11 elections and the race for Tirana have exposed the deepest crisis in the history of the Democratic Party.
The so-called “re-established DP” has lost the ability to produce alternatives, the confidence to inspire supporters and to be a real force in the face of the government, which it says it opposes.
The result of the May 11 elections was a heavy blow to the democrats who were expecting change, while the repeated promise of “toppling Rama” in these four years turned into a ridiculous and worn-out political deception.
The race for Tirana has shown that the “re-established” DP is out of real political function!
If a force does not have power and representation of citizens as its objective, what function does its existence have?!
The leadership of the DP has surrendered in the face of reality by relativizing the crisis and claiming that the “solution” for Tirana must come from a non-political candidate. But just a few months ago, the same leadership was accusing civil society and small parties of being linked to the government.
This sudden change of position does not show reflection, but confusion and lack of political integrity.
At the same time, the DP parliamentary group does not take responsibility for the solution, thus not respecting its voters.
In such conditions, the party leadership should resign and others should take charge of the solution, otherwise, together with the group of deputies, they will remain a facade to cover the void of a party ruined from within.
Withdrawing from the candidacy for the Municipality of Tirana and allowing figures outside it by denying themselves, is not a novelty, as they are trying to justify, but the pain of a party that is dying out.
In theory, accepting a civic figure outside the party as a candidate for mayor can be seen as an opening and a new breath. But in our current reality, this action is a sign of the structural weakness and lack of political leadership of the DP.
A party that fails to produce its own figure for electoral competition loses its identity and function as a political actor.
Thus, the “re-established” DP is seeking to cross the river again, not with the strength of ideas but by using external names to cover its internal emptiness.
Once a symbol of hope and change for Albanians, the DP has today become a divided structure that exists more as a memory of the past than as a living political force.
The lack of coherence in positions, sometimes boycotting elections and then participating, sometimes rejecting the result and then making compromises, have created the perception of a party without a compass that follows events, instead of directing them.
Political crises usually bring out new figures, but in the case of the “re-established” DP, the opposite is happening, a total lack of leadership and ideas.
If the DP no longer manages to represent democrats and citizens and has lost its mission and hope as an opposition force, it risks turning into a closed historical phenomenon, a memory of an era that is fading, a historical memory of the Albanian transition.
