Call for the Unity and Strategic Reorganization of the Albanian Right Spectrum!

The electoral process

After the conclusion of the electoral process and in-depth reflections on the results and recent political dynamics in the country, it is necessary to raise a voice of reason and responsibility: the Albanian right is facing a critical moment, where division and lack of organization have made it impossible to offer a serious and credible alternative government.

The 2025 parliamentary elections, although in some aspects they may contain legitimate reasons for contestation, we believe that it is a waste of time and energy to focus on this direction.

Our assessment is that both Albanian and international institutions will recognize the new government that is expected to be formed next September.

Therefore, it is appropriate to look ahead and focus on how we will face the journey to victory, instead of remaining mired in complaints about the defeat we have suffered.

In this moment of reflection, I am reminded of a significant saying: " When you want to do it, you find a way. When you don't want to, you find an excuse ."

In the eyes of the general public, any contestation of the result will be perceived more as an excuse than as a principled stance.

Excuses are the easiest form of incompetence, and I say this with understanding, considering that our goal is common and legitimate: a political rotation in Albania.
 
However, this situation is reversible. The need for change is no longer a matter of time – it is a national emergency.

From a Symbolic Success to a Call for Responsibility

For the first time in the history of Albanian pluralism, several new right-wing forces managed to be represented in the Albanian Parliament.

This is an important development and evidence that there is potential for new and different representation.

But this first step is not enough.

With around 150,000 votes, a start has been made, but to build a sustainable political alternative, honest analysis and deep reorganization are required. Failure to achieve objectives does not constitute failure but a call for reflection and political renaissance.

Roadmap: Strategic Priorities and Concrete Measures

In order to not be mere spectators in the upcoming elections, but rather important actors, a clear and comprehensive action plan is needed. Here are some of the key points we propose:

Accepting the election result as the will of the sovereign – without alibis, without excuses – this is the first step towards political maturity.

Objective analysis of the elections that just ended: to understand what didn't work and how we can improve.
 
Internal restructuring of right-wing parties: increasing transparency, inclusion of professionals, women, youth, diaspora and marginalized groups.
 
Building a national right-wing platform, including modest financial contributions from the diaspora (e.g. $10/month from 300,000 members in the US alone).

America's example:

By opening the central branch in New York and then branches in every state, we think we can build a membership of 300,000 people.

With a monthly contribution of $10, this would provide $3,000,000 per month in vital funds for building local structures and working groups in every city in Albania.

Strong presence on the ground, direct access to citizens and immediate launch of a sustainable campaign in every city in Albania and in the diaspora.

Concrete help for citizens with assistance and consultancy for their life problems is not just solidarity – it is the best policy: real, sensitive and constructive.
The diaspora should be treated as a national asset – both politically and financially.

Opening local branches in every city in Albania and in every Albanian community abroad.

Direct engagement with citizens, through assistance, consultancy and concrete support – to build trust and legitimacy.

A new model of political communication – based on active listening and collaboration, not propaganda.

"Serving the citizen is not simply an act of solidarity - it is the most honest and effective form of doing politics."

Call for Unity: Cohesion for Political Survival

The right-wing spectrum cannot move forward fragmented into dozens of separate parties and groupings.

The creation of a political federation with a common platform, common objectives, and humble but visionary leadership is the minimum requirement for creating a true governing alternative.

Every vote wasted is a lost opportunity. Unity is not a luxury – it is a necessity.

Diaspora: From Remittance to Strategic Capital

The Albanian diaspora can no longer be treated simply as a source of remittances. It represents an extraordinary human, professional and network capital, which must be organized and activated through concrete mechanisms, overcoming rhetoric and moving into real action.

2029: Not Just an Election Year – But a Historic Crossroads

The year 2029 (or earlier) is not an ordinary calendar moment. It should find us structured, united and prepared, not with empty promises, but with a clear platform and real organizational capacities.

Call to Action: The Time is Now

This statement is a public appeal to every right-wing party leader, every newly elected MP, every activist, every citizen who believes in right-wing values ??– in Albania and abroad:

The time to act is now. Unity is no longer a choice – it is a condition for survival.

If we want a different Albania, then we must be the first to transform ourselves. With humility, dedication, and long-term vision.
