Berisha's red line and the black line of democracy in the DP
2025-12-17 16:19:14 / IDE
Sali Berisha emerged once again as the supreme judge of the Democratic Party, declaring “red lines,” separating the guilty from the innocent, politically excluding and punishing anyone who does not obey his absolute authority. It is a role he has played without interruption for 35 years, without reflection and without any apology to the democrats who have paid the cost of this direction.
In the Democratic Party, unfortunately, the line is neither statutory, nor moral, nor institutional. The line is personal. It is what Berisha and only Berisha decides. Today, Salianji crosses it. Tomorrow, anyone else who dares to have independent thought, real support at the grassroots level, or the courage not to submit.
Berisha talks about crime, but forgets that the greatest political crime is the systematic destruction of a party's internal democracy. Expulsions, public lynching of democrats, delegitimization of structures that do not obey him, and the use of fear as a means of control are classic signs of a party dictatorship, not of a democratic force.
The fact that entire structures boycotted Berisha's meeting in Elbasan is not a sign of "moral disgust," as he tries to portray, but a sign of fatigue. Fatigue from an imposed direction, from a party that no longer asks its members, but speaks to them with ultimatums.
No European party is held hostage by the same person for 35 years. Only in the DP is this called "normality." Only in the DP is rotation seen as betrayal, dissent as hostility, and criticism as collaboration with crime.
The greatest irony is that, while Berisha accuses others of shady collaborations, the political result of his leadership is a weak, divided DP, incapable of overthrowing Edi Rama.
And here arises the question that many democrats ask silently, but dare not say out loud:
Does Berisha really serve Rama's departure, or his political survival?
Sali Berisha may never come out to a press conference to say that he collaborates with Edi Rama. But his political actions make this collaboration real and tangible:
1. The division of the opposition
2. Removal of electorally strong figures
3. Burning any new alternative within the DP
4. Holding the party hostage for personal interests
These are direct gifts to Edi Rama, which no amount of propaganda can cover.
At the end of the day, Rama doesn't need to defeat the Democratic Party. It's enough for Berisha to lead it.
The Democratic Party is not the personal property of Sali Berisha or anyone else. It was built by thousands of democrats who are today being excluded, humiliated, and labeled as "red lines" simply because they demand real democracy within their party.
If Berisha really believes in the "red line", let him start with himself:
From moral resignation
From the real opening of the party
From returning decision-making to membership
The real red line is not a meeting in Elbasan, nor is the name of Mr. Salianji.
The red line is the moment when a leader becomes an obstacle to democracy, to the opposition, and to the hope of change.
And Sali Berisha has crossed that line a long time ago.
