Berisha: Every Albanian Should Come Out in Support of Change

The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, said that the DP supports without any reservations the youth civic protest and the demands it has presented, while also praising the letter signed by 260 Albanian personalities around the world.

According to him, the stance taken by academics, scientists, professors and well-known experts represents a meaningful uniting of the voice of the Albanian elite with that of the citizens and young people who are protesting.

“The Democratic Party of Albania, which has supported and continues to fully support the youth civic protest and its demands, highly values and fully supports the letter of the 260 distinguished Albanian personalities around the world — scientists, academics, professors and renowned experts from various fields — and the full support they give to the demands of the most powerful youth civic movement in the country’s history,” the DP emphasizes.

Berisha also considers this support to be an appeal addressed to all Albanians, inside and outside the country, to stand alongside the youth movement.

“This letter, through which the nation’s elite outside Albania joins its voice with the voice of Albanian youth and citizens, is at the same time a call for every Albanian, wherever they live, to support without reservation the demands of the youth civic movement in Albania as the only way to resolve the deep political, moral and institutional crisis that has gripped the country, caused by Edi Rama’s authoritarian dictatorship based on the concentration of all powers in one hand, the suppression of political pluralism, electoral farce, crime, drugs and the plundering of Albanians,” the DP statement says.
