It can no longer be served as a promise, what it has constitutes an obligation

On this eve of elections, in respect of civic sensitivity towards all this nonsense of electoral promises, where politics approaches citizens only to exploit them for power, feeding them with empty words and utopian promises, I feel a moral civic obligation to raise my voice on those issues that constitute the main axis of this campaign and that, in essence, affect us all.
Albania's membership in the EU – This thesis is widely used, but the finalization of membership is not dictated or conditioned by the nominal composition of the legislative or executive power, because this is a process that is prolonged in time, related to the fulfillment by the candidate country of the criteria for membership. The year 2030 is not an electoral deadline, but a deadline that requires the fulfillment of the tasks for the approval of legal, political, economic, administrative reforms, etc., as well as their effective implementation. The existence of laws in the face of the vegetation of law enforcement institutions, not only distances us from the EU, but also loses the purpose of the rule of law.
Justice reform – It is treated as a testament to the unwavering will of those seeking the vote, while the approval of the constitutional amendments that paved the way for the reform was an expression of the common will of 140 deputies, who created the consensus of the vote due to the cooperation of political forces (the DP was led by Mr. Basha), as well as the support of internationals. And more than the success of political will, the approval of the reform was the responsibility of every elected official, to the demand of Albanians for justice of European standards. While today, promising the justice of "great Albania", votes are sought for candidates whose freedom has been restricted, without informing them that their arrest makes it impossible to take the oath as a deputy, limiting their right to be elected. This is because the citizen vote is intended to be used as a tool to turn the individual fight of the corrupt against justice into a collective citizen fight against justice.
The tripling of incomes, the increase in the average and minimum wage - The fact that these "generous" wage increases have been accompanied by a staggering increase in prices and taxes, which translates into a decrease in the standard of living, and that the old-age pension and the measure of benefiting from economic assistance, rather than guaranteeing a reasonable standard of living, have increased the poverty line is not evidenced.
Digitalization of the education system – It is being unveiled as an innovation, at a time when even Sweden, known as one of the most developed countries in the EU, has given up on digitalizing the education system, publicly admitting that such an experiment has failed, due to the decline in students' ability to concentrate, as well as the increased negative impact on children's academic performance and mental health.
Compensation for the politically persecuted – Particularly denigrating is the treatment given to this group through Law No. 9831/2007, which limits the number of family members who benefit from the compensation awarded to the former political prisoner to the grandson/granddaughter, interrupting the continuation of compensation in the successive lines of inheritance recognized by the Civil Code. And as if this were not enough, in 2018 legal amendments allowed the transfer of the corresponding part of the compensation to the state budget, in cases where the right to benefit ends with the closure of the circle of family members who are not living. Even though the financial compensation was not distributed on time due to the fault of the state, with the death of the family member, the state again becomes the owner of the corresponding part of the compensation, robbing the persecuted of the right that it itself recognized.
Today, the same issues are treated by both major political parties, with the difference that one party presents them as achievements, while the other as promises. The same problems have been identified and the same promises have been made as a barrage of empty refrains, on the eve of every election in these decades. What has changed is not the problem, but its appearance. A system has been created that is developed from the outside, but rotten from the inside, where the "apotheosis of corn" still abounds. The elected have forgotten the purpose for which they are elected, although the right to be elected does not only mean running for office, but also exercising a public function trusted by the people. And at this point, it is absolutely necessary to awaken conscience and reason, because what constitutes an obligation can no longer be served as a promise.
