The Socialist Party is writing the history of the country's integration into the EU. This was stated by Prime Minister Edi Rama during his speech at the SP Assembly, where he called for responsibility and clarity in leadership. Referring to the European Commission's recommendation to start preparations for drafting the accession treaty in 2027, he said that today Europe is more vulnerable.
"The EC has made a historic recommendation for Albania. Not only is the country moving in the right direction but also that Albania is at its highest point. It is recommended to the European Council to start preparing to draft the treaty of Albania's accession to the EU in 2027. And I want to hear from every Albanian who follows us. The last page of history that we, the Socialist Party, are writing, with the trust of the majority of Albanians, was unattainable until yesterday but tangible today. Europe today is tangible with our eyes. This is the moment to start preparations for the historic treaty to make Albania a member of the EU. Let's gather all minds to make this last page a reality," Rama emphasized.
In his speech, Rama also mentioned the protests against the government, which he called politically instrumentalized and degraded into violence.
"Whoever leads must understand where the country is when the smoke and noise rise higher than usual, must understand what is important in what has been achieved, what the country risks losing under the pressure of noise and the smoke barrier, and how the responsibility of leadership should be exercised without losing clarity of vision. This is such a moment. In the enlargement report, the EC has written a phrase, which has not taken root, just as nothing that has significant importance for the country's progress does not take root in the conditions when the country is experiencing internal pressure through the political instrumentalization of a protest launched for other reasons and degraded into a violent offensive against the government in appearance but in fact against the way we want Albania to move forward."
