The New Albania requires the transformative energy and beautiful mind of every woman and girl who dares.

After 80 days of resistance, one of the most significant aspects of this protest is the presence of women and girls.
Behind every woman and girl standing in this protest today is a story we don't know. Battles won and lost in silence, responsibilities shouldered, disappointments that have not defeated them, and challenges that have taught them to keep going even when no one has seen their battle. Their strength is not always visible, but that is precisely where its value lies. What they bring to the square today is not just the anger of a day, but all the experience, challenges, pain, lessons, and courage that have shaped them. They are here not only to oppose what they no longer want, but to bring the energy and vision of what they want to build.
Their presence, their resilience is not a matter of women's rights. It is a matter of society's potential. How much is the strength, mind, talent, experience and energy of its women and girls worth to Albania? What does a country gain when this potential truly participates in public life and what does it lose when it remains outside of it?
For years, Albanian politics has talked about women’s representation. Especially in recent years, Edi Rama’s propaganda has placed the presence of women in government and institutions at the center of his narrative for the “modernization” of politics. But here we must make the often-lost distinction between statistics and substance. The issue is not how many women we have in the “pictures of power,” but how many free and independent minds we have in decision-making.
Representation without merit is just a statistic. Representation with merit becomes a transformative force.
The success of a society is not measured by the number of women at the “decision-making table,” but by their freedom to think differently at that table. A woman, like any individual, is not empowered because power gives her a chair. She is empowered when her knowledge and skills give her a voice that power cannot buy.
It is here that the presence of women and girls in this resistance takes on a different meaning. They are not there because someone has put them on a list, appointed them to a task, or included them in a statistic. They are there because they have chosen to be.
Albania doesn't just need a political rotation. It needs a change in the way of thinking and doing politics.
In this sense, the energy, beautiful mind, creativity, responsibility, and maturity of women and girls are not an issue that belongs only to them. They are the asset of the entire society.
New Albania is not a project that we expect to come from somewhere. It is the potential that exists today within society and that is waiting to take space, responsibility and direction. And in this potential, the mind, energy and wisdom of Albanian women and girls are among the greatest sources of transformation.
Perhaps this is the most beautiful meaning of their presence in this civic resistance.
The New Albania will be born not only from what we will tear down, but from the ideas, vision, and responsibility with which we will choose to build it.
I have always believed in the strength that a woman can generate. But after 80 days of resistance, I believe even more strongly that the New Albania lies in the energy and beautiful mind of every woman and girl who dares to imagine it, who has the vision to see on the horizon what Albanian society seeks today.
