TIRANA, Dec 30 /ATA/ The chairman of the DP parliamentary group, Enkelejd Alibeaj, said on Friday that 2022 was a difficult year for the democrats and undoubtedly one of the most challenging of the long transition for Albanians.
“Against a backdrop of a regime that has taken root in every link of the state, where justice finds it increasingly difficult to be functional and straightforward, where the opposition is spending most of its time dealing with divisions between itself and personal problems, the common people have a really hard time reviving hope for the change we are all looking for,” Alibeaj wrote on social media.
“Defeating a regime from the bottom up is a difficult mission, but not impossible. To do this, first, we must be true to ourselves, to the facts, to what is happening, and above all to the alternative that can bring about change. Defeating a well-structured patronage regime requires a strong organization, engagement of party structures. But the support and vote of the undecided electorate, of citizens disappointed at the banality of today’s politics, is a prerequisite for the opposition to win. And to convince this category, the opposition needs alternatives and uncompromising figures, politicians that are not involved in corrupt affairs, who steer clear of hate speech and lynching. Because this is the model that Albanians have seen enough with Edi Rama,” he said.
