As in every post over the past three weeks, Rama once again attacked the protesters, as he has done every day by targeting different groups that have taken part in the demonstrations. This time, Rama’s attack focused on Albanians from the region who have joined the protest.

The prime minister stressed that Albanians in North Macedonia are not considered Albania’s diaspora, but citizens of a neighboring state where they are part of the state-forming structure, and he said the same about Albanians from Kosovo.

In his reaction, the prime minister criticized the participation of Albanians from the region in the protests in Tirana, describing it as involvement driven by political interests and claiming that it harms the image of Albanians abroad.

Rama’s post:

I do not know the lady, but someone sent me this post, which prompted the note below:

Albanians of North Macedonia are not Albania’s diaspora on foreign soil; together with the North Macedonians, they are a state-forming people on their own land in the neighboring state!

The diaspora are emigrants in foreign countries, not them, and certainly not the Albanians of Kosovo, who have their own independent state.

When the blind soldiers of political caravans from Prishtina and Tetovo appear in Tirana as the “diaspora,” with national flags turned into the decor of such a farce and with white plis hats blackened by such shame, they are simply eager victims who cannot ask themselves one simple question:

Is someone who wants Albanians in conflict and chaos worried or pleased when they see this “diaspora” from North Macedonia and Kosovo charge toward Tirana like an invading horde on four-wheeled horses to overthrow Albania’s government?

This is a question that, in fact, their sponsors should ask themselves. I assure them that they are spending their money solely to do national and international damage to the image of Albanians in North Macedonia and of Kosovo itself. Because as for me and the Socialist Party government, they should keep paying for fuel, food, and skullcaps until the day our unbreakable contract with 856,177 Albanian men and women, inside and outside the homeland, ends. May 2029.

And I will never get out of my mind the desecration of the UÇK liberation flag, raised like a banner of hatred for the overthrow of the government in Tirana! What a gift for those who do not recognize Kosovo and for those who have always mocked us as a people incapable of state-building. By acting as desecrators and mudslingers in this way, they have even brought to the tip of the pen of the Father of Albanianism, Gjergj Fishta:

“You hooligans and butchers,tramps and buffoons,filthy ticks, evil microbes,who to poor Albaniahave turned your lungs into ashes…”

Post Scriptum. And let no one speculate by linking this note to the name of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, because under no circumstances can I hold him, or imply him to be, responsible for any of the scoundrels of Vetëvendosje who have become involved in this devil’s brew. I am not saying this as some mere protocol-driven lip service, but because I know very well that every broad political tent also has its own scoundrels, and I would insult Albin’s intelligence if I thought he judged things as they do. So leave Albin Kurti out of this disgusting mess.

Spiropali protest

Spiropali, who was absent from the Socialist Party parliamentary group meeting, responded indirectly to Edi Rama over his barbs and her statements about a ‘New Agreement’ with Albanians.

But for this to happen, according to Spiropali, the Socialist Party must cleanse itself, taking aim at former Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku.

Although indirectly, Spiropali referred to the latter as a “tornado” and “rust” of the Socialist Party.

According to her, if the Socialist Party itself does not elevate and democratize, then it cannot bring about the change that is being sought.

Spiropali’s full reaction

Yes, we will have the New Agreement for Albania.🇦🇱

The Albania we want to build must be made, and we will make it, more open, fairer, more meritocratic, more European.

To achieve this, the Socialist Party must find the strength, gather its thoughts, cleanse itself, become more dynamic, more democratic, more cohesive, in order to remain forever young, forever clean, without tornadoes, without rust, without buffoonery.

Let us make the New Agreement great, deep, real, bearing in mind that if we do not elevate ourselves, we cannot improve the country.
