"May 11, the Republic of the Supreme President is armored"!

2025-07-22 12:09:00, Opinione Piro Ahmetaj

First of all, I must confirm that I have no personal prejudices regarding family geography, party career, hobbies, sexual orientation, etc. towards the characters mentioned in the title or below. This is because the sole purpose of this analysis is to contribute with findings and strategic recommendations for overcoming the political crisis, which has worsened even more after the masquerade of May 11, 2025.
However, I reiterate my disgust for the protagonists and co-responsible for the law that also marked the last elections. This is because despite the "screaming necessity of the National interest, the Democrats, the Socialists and the Albanians for the rotation of power", on May 11, the 140 vacancies of the post-September assembly were re-filled, but they further blackened the face of Albania (the only country in the region, including Bosnia, Kosovo, MZ and MV), which still after 34 years has not managed to hold free and democratic elections!
Thus, May 11 not only did not produce a democratic rotation (for rotation) of power, but with 95 deputies appointed (unvoted) by the 2 Majestic Presidents, they unmasked the serious political crisis; facade pluralism, failed democracy, the state caught in the corruption of high-ranking officials; the waste of public money, mechanisms and state administration to maintain power for the next 4 years.
For those who are confused by the 4th super victory or angry by 16 years of opposition, I emphasize that nowhere else in democratic countries, 95 deputies, i.e. the qualified majority of the Assembly, who, apart from the fat salary and the enthusiastic applause towards the 2 respective Commissioners, have ZERO weight or decision-making power.
In summary, as a result of the law marked with the consensus of shame (the only one in the last 17 years), on May 11, the Autocracy of the Supreme President was armored but the Parliamentary Republic, the balance of powers of the Constitution, the Opposition and the standards of democratic elections were taken. Having said this, on May 11 there were neither elections nor winners. Even worse: "Albania was the big loser", because:
FIRST of all, even though the Supreme Leader, in the Kuçi Memorandum, self-appointed/sealed 83 deputies, on May 11 the Socialist Party gained nothing but only the criminal abuse of all the power and mechanisms of the Government; of the state administration (220 thousand patronage workers + 740 thousand pensioners) as well as the all-sultanate manipulation of money, public property and national interests, with the sole purpose: "holding power at all costs as if the Republic of Albania were Burkina Faso, and not a 16-year-old NATO country and an aspirant for the EU"!
With cynical irresponsibility, the Almighty diverted the failures in the 12 years we left for: "not abandoning the country, (not) employing 300 thousand; free healthcare; 24-hour water in every corner of the country (including the tourist Vlora...); zero taxes on oil, bread; zero political influence on the cost of roads, concessions and ZERO-corruption. While in addition to Berisha (who has even more harshly attacked every political opponent, such as Nano, Meta, etc.), but also the Tiger/No. 2 of the government from the run called Rama the "Head of the Criminal Organization" as well as Lali/Power No. 2, ministers, deputies, etc., sleep in dungeons, or wake up at the doors of SPAK"!
In the campaign towards May 11, the Supreme Court instead of the Program recycled the popular trial against "Gogol-Berisha", recalling the May 26th massacre; the murders of 1997-98, Gërdec and 21 January; loyalties to the ally of 2013 and hatred of Like-Florir; the murderers of Peshkëpi (1994); as well as with popular slurs (non-grata, swamp owl), not sparing the American expert on elections Mr. LaCivita: “sometimes sheriff, sometimes uncle Latif”.
However, it must be admitted that “like a trained Pelivan”, he re-awakened and privatized the European dream of the Albanians, surpassing every Bolshevik fantasy: “He himself, the great Fare, will take a beautiful Albanian woman by the hand to seat her in the EU chair in 2030”. Thus, as far as this One, the Republic of Albania has no need for a Party, opposition, Parliament because: “only HE knows, loves and works day and night for the advancement of the Nation”!
Practically, even the "owls know" that just like (mavro) the President, the Ministers, the closed or open lists, are not selected for their knowledge and outstanding values, but only as proven followers of the Supreme. As an example, we bring the proof of the electoral rape that Zengjinja committed against the black Gazi (12 to 4) or Her childish frankness (that she will do wonders in the Assembly, when the only thing she has to do is loudly cheer the Supreme Leader and to kiss her fellow villagers). Meanwhile, the delirium of the backward disciples in the SP who: "will teach the lessons of the Party to those appointed to the Assembly", will remain in the history of the Shame of pluralism not only in the Republic of Albania.
SECONDLY, with only 42 MPs (without party leaders, without voters, but with many nonsense and sins), the Democratic Party: "ruled by exemplary dedication, age oscillations and the Berisha myth, sold them out for the sake of ordinary people, and they stole them, but lost the May 11 elections "with merit" and sinfully"!
This is because instead of presenting Albanians with the winning spirit, personalities with outstanding integrity and the alliance of right-wing values, it humiliated the Democrats with a list of "ragged before/after; 8 gifts for ghost parties", or by recycling: "fighters of the shameful battle for the locks; former corrupt officials, sadly unindicted or with a terrorist precedent against integrity, the flag and national interests"!
Worse, he deceived the voters and the hopes of the democrats, who were desperate for 12 years of opposition, by feeding them to the point of delirium with: “leading the global battle against Soros, like dictator Hoxha against the USA”, and by mythologizing the power of Mr. LaÇivita (as the Messiah who would bring the crown of victory from Trump). Thus, despite the commotion of Mr. Berisha, the bravery of Gazi of Zengjin and the revolution of strategist Flamur for the free vote with the alma of Gjici, the folkloric rhapsodies of Gjekmarkaj or the rants of alBanaësBlu, the elections of May 11 are (badly) lost but also recognized by the USA, NATO/EU countries, etc.
FOURTH, in the capacity of “Advisor in the field of National Security reforms and relations with the USA/NATO, I repeat the appeal for the resignation of Mr. Sali Berisha”. The same call goes to the (mavro) Team of 4-losers, Noka, Bardhi, Vokshi, Topalli, as well as the 12 blue commissioners of the 12 counties to "hand over the mandates to the most voted from the open lists".
It's that simple. There is no need for Divine Missions, nor for martyrdom on the mountain with the Pits! Any delinquent attempt to mythologize the administrative power of the President even after the next defeat as: "the messenger/Missionary of Allah" or to control even the screaming need for reform of the right would make the 3rd (and real) humiliating funeral of the DP (the first in July 2021, the second on January 8, 2022) but would also stigmatize the responsible actors and protagonists, including those who remain silent.
Due to age, I reiterate my respect for the energies, but also my regret and political disappointment towards Mr. Berisha, who, despite warnings, included in the closed lists, "the most hated part by the democrats and Albanians", leaving in the battle (the open list), some characters with integrity and outstanding citizenship such as Alimehmeti, Tabaku, Kraja, Kopliku, Harxhi, Kalaja, etc., while the rest, deficient, who fought with each other for Mayor Hallemadh as well as for the 46 glorious bunkerists but with complete loss/poture.
But May 11, also produced winners, such as doctor Alimehmeti and Mrs. Tabaku. Over 40 thousand free citizens, trusted (not for the DP) but for exemplary citizenship, right-wing roots, the strength of elite reason, outstanding integrity and political responsibility: "challenging even the suicide battle for the safe lists".
Also worthy of encouragement are the 4 political entities, which with 170 thousand votes (about 16 deputies out of the 4 that they practically received) managed to discredit the election law. I would like to hope that in the next elections, they will consider this "attempted experience" as a great lesson to overcome primitive egocentrisms, that is: "to unite around an Opposition in the battle for the democratic rotation of power in the Republic of Albania".
IN ADDITION, in respect of thousands of friends, intellectuals, patriots and citizens (at home/abroad) I am sharing a summary of 10 strategic messages for overcoming the worsening political crisis after May 11:
Message 1: of course I am not happy, but "at peace with myself" that I did not consciously become part of the discrediting masquerade of May 11. To be more clear, 5 months before the elections, I officially warned the incumbent Chairman of the DP: "to free the DP from the trap of the kamikaze battle for safe lists, with Mr. Berisha being the first to emerge from the 30% bunker, an example that would be imposed on the Leaders in the Center as well as the 12 Regions". I have also advised him not to: "remain hostage to debts to the Gaz/Vula group, nor to party leaders (with only a handful of voters but with more burdens, if not sins)".
Message 2: Albanians lost another chance (3rd) to realize the democratic rotation, which: "was and remains a vital necessity for national interests, democratic stability and the Euro-Atlantic perspective". But if the right does not come out of the "privatized/Zanun bunker" and does not transform itself as a Governing alternative, Albania seriously risks remaining under the rule of the Supreme Leader even after 2029. But, the rotation does not come with: "oh my God, maybe Gjati will get sick even from the Elbasan road"; nor by counting the mandates of Rama-1; 2; 3, 4, 5; nor by recycling the list of losers in 2013; 2017, 2021, 2025 but not with disgusting cheers for the immortality of the Great Leader!
Message no. 3, to give up the humiliation of sacrifices and the dragging of democrats for starting the revolution (allah-Lule-Luli) with the flag of Beleri; the perverse irritations against the people by known vote thieves within the DP (for Basha 2021) as well as other candidates to be nominated by the US as underminers of democracy; not with political delinquents waiting at the doors of SPAK to beg Baba-Sali until death; not by any scoundrels who "blame the West and threaten the US embassy (!?)".
Message 4: The Stalinist recount of the preferential vote resulted “only as a trap of the Supreme Chairman” to legitimize the masquerade of May 11. Meanwhile, the threats of the chief-Bajram to the Ayatollah of Iran; the calls for a meeting of the (non) National Security Council on the crisis in the Middle East, or the promises for the heroic clashes of Noka with Mile and Gazi with Zengjinena in the post-September Assembly, and other deviations from the sinful defeat of May 11 will be memorized as ridiculous and monstrous at the same time.
Message 5, even after the sinful defeat of May 11, I still find no reason to kneel but even stronger motivation for anyone who believes in the mission of free voting and the values of democracy. Thus, in the conditions that "the Parliament has been defiled; while the nameless President has neither the capacity nor the integrity to balance the power of the Almighty and stop the flow towards Autocracy", a comprehensive process for the transformation of the democratic election system in the Republic of Albania remains a national emergency.
Message 6: rejecting with disgust the army of bureaucrats appointed to the DP, who instead of taking responsibility for 4 consecutive losses, swear that they will remain "until death with Baba-Sali", reminding us of the "shameful death of Enver", I repeat even more strongly that the DP is in vital need of a radical and healthy transformation, that is, for the rotation of Leadership with free votes, the decision-making process, cohesion, the spirit of trust with democrats, the intellectual elite, citizens, immigrants, etc.
Message no. 7: is addressed to the "rightists with noble roots" that beyond the despair from this (4th) loss, let us unite to free the DP from the syndrome of the Owner-President (!) as well as the restoration of faith in pluralism, the free market and the values of a functional democracy like the USA and all of Europe.
Message 8: goes to the young people, girls and boys, immigrants and all-Albanians, who should no longer leave the dream and mission for the future of their/our nation in the hands of this sect of oppressive politicians, corrupt statesmen and the army of power brokers, who have privatized the Parties, Politics, Government and Parliament (PPPP), desecrating the values of the right, free elections, the rule of law, and continue to rule our prosperous homeland as "half red and half blue" pashas for 35 years.
Message 9: It remains a "vital necessity" for the right-wing ASAP/DP to launch a credible and comprehensive process for the radical reform of the approach, cohesion and spirit of trust between democrats and with citizens and strategic partners. Having said this, emergency no. 1 remains: “the establishment of a Transitional Trust and Transformation Board (TTTB), with the aim of launching a transparent and healthy analysis for the return of the DP to the tracks of the modern right and Euro-Atlantic values”!
Message 10: as for the following political engagement, I guarantee that I remain even more committed to contributing with the Euro-Atlantic experience, humility and additional responsibility for the protection and promotion of national interests (pluralism, functional democracy, balances of powers, are among these values).
