Students and Albanians don't love you Sali, not the DP!

Students and Albanians don't love you Sali, not the DP!

Rama and Berisha are two sides of the same political coin. Since 2008, they have jointly amended the Constitution, creating a system that has allowed them to dominate the Albanian political scene. Since then, they have presented themselves as irreconcilable opponents, while the clash between them has become a mechanism that keeps both at the center of politics. One governs by using the other as the main opponent; the other seeks to hold the opposition hostage by presenting itself as the only alternative to the first.

Both come from a political reality shaped by Albania's communist past and, regardless of the camps they position themselves in, the way they exercise power and control over politics raises serious questions about democracy, institutions and the space left for new alternatives.

Since 2021, the accusations against Berisha, the declaration of non grata by the US and the UK, and the political isolation that followed, have weighed on his political image. He has shown that for his own interests he is ready to bury the DP, using it not as an alternative for Albania but as a shield for his own troubles.

Since 2021, when Edi Rama obstructed the rotation by using crime and power, Albania has been faced with rampant corruption. Ballukur's bill alone goes to 1 billion euros, and the same goes for Veliaj, Beqaj, etc. Albania has turned into a money laundering machine.

While you can find the traces of Rama and Berisha in every tower of Tirana. That is why students and Albanians are against both of them. And when students take to the streets to oppose this system, trying to turn the protest into a battle between the DP and its opponents is an attitude that contradicts the very spirit of an independent civic movement.

The political game built on the idea that only Rama and Berisha exist in Albania is the mechanism through which they politically feed each other, the role of the sole opponent. As long as citizens are forced to choose between them, the space for new alternatives remains limited.

Being against Rama does not mean being with Berisha. And being against Berisha does not mean being with Rama. Albanians have the right to oppose both and to seek a leader with a European mentality, with strong institutions and a new vision for the country.

Students do not have to choose between two politicians who have dominated the Albanian scene for decades. They have the right to seek an alternative outside this binomial, a system where institutions do not depend on the will of leaders and where the future of the country is not negotiated between the same political figures.

Albania does not have to choose forever between Rama and Berisha. It needs to free itself from the idea that only these two can determine its political future.

A crime today is to attack protesters and use an army of anonymous people to attack, through accusations and public lynching, the media and journalists who are against you. It is also a crime to use the media paid for by you with criminal money to set traps for new parties, labeling them as supporters of Rama if they are not with Berisha, and as supporters of Berisha if they are not with Rama.

Albanians are not against the DP or the SP as a party. They oppose Rama and Berisha precisely to free both the DP and the SP from dependence on their leaders and to create real space for new, independent and competitive alternatives.

Because democracy is not the obligation to choose one of two names from the past. Democracy is the right to have a different future. /Alfapress.al
