Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha has today organized a meeting with the heads of branches, to whom he called to prepare for civil disobedience.
Berisha said that the action against "Edi Rama's regime" cannot continue with traditional protests, but must take the form of civil disobedience.
He asked the heads of branches to engage the youth in blocking actions by "studying the most critical points" of the system.
According to Berisha, this battle is irreversible and requires sacrifices.
Part of Berisha's speech:
Study the most sensitive points and take blocking actions. Everything justifies the overthrow of a dictatorship
The battle that takes place in the parliament must and can take place at any critical point of this regime, of this country.
We must respond to his unconstitutional stance with all means of civil disobedience.
The usual protest would be happy, because it is sadistic, but we have to give up the usual protests.
Our protests must block the regime. Who does not hesitate to display all kinds of hostility.
Will we agree to deceive the Albanians? No. I understand that the past elections had a series of weaknesses and flaws.
But these never justify that Bajr, Pëlumb Gjokat, etc. vote our votes.
Election day is for voting, it is not for conflict, it is not for weapons. No. The time before them is for battle, for battle without return.
And Edi Rama and I have no choice.
Therefore, we must do everything to engage our membership, our supporters, the youth in action without return, in battle without return.
It is up to you in the circles where you are, in the branches where you are, to study the most critical points and take blocking actions and attitudes. We do not back down from anything.
Everything justifies the overthrow of a dictatorship. This requires sacrifice, this requires courage. Every means of civil disobedience is constitutional, it is legitimate against a regime, against a person who has usurped all the powers.
In case we decide to stay as we are staying in parliament, I guarantee you that his time is short. That there is no gang dictatorship that can resist the revolt of a people.
But the revolt must be a revolt.
Therefore, I invite you, I invite all the leaders of the branches, I invite all our members, our sympathizers, to re-evaluate the situation we are in once again.
Whoever feels free, we say that his freedom is a sham. However, enjoy it if you want.
But those who have the political conviction that political pluralism is vital, is crucial for a nation, for a family, for a society to move forward, should join us. We have to talk, invite them.
For them, Edi Rama is as much an enemy as for us. We are waging a war for our ideals, we are waging a war not for the DP, we are waging a war for Albania, for political pluralism, for Albanian society.
This will also be the leitmotif of the Assembly.
