Prime Minister Edi Rama

In eleven years of (mis)governance of the country 2013-2024, Edi Rama has denied, destroyed and robbed the Albanians of everything: freedom, dignity, democracy, separation of powers, the rule of law, property, employment of young people, proper social care, welfare, and national identity.

Practically, it has robbed them of their future. The list of iniquities of the Rama sect in power is long, but I am mentioning the top ten among them:

1. Robber of freedom.

Freedom of expression and speech is present only in the opposition structures and in the independent media, the few that resist and have not yet been bought by Rama's regime.

This freedom is non-existent in public administration and even independent institutions. Fear and anger have taken the place of freedom, especially among the employees of the Albanian state administration, tracked and followed step by step by the army of patron Nazis. These employees, after 11 years of reprisals and dismissal for non-militancy, are afraid to openly say what they think, to denounce the corruption, abuses and nepotism, which they face every day.

2. Robber of dignity.

Employees of the public administration are forced to participate in the fanfare of the election meetings of the ruling sect, in violation of their dignity. Even primary school teachers participate in the gatherings and meetings of the so-called "Regional Leader" and his candidates, out of fear of losing their jobs, due to the revenge of his clones in the department, the central directorate and the municipality. .

Entrepreneurs and intellectuals adhere to selective tax controls, which do not spare even the NGOs of intellectuals, critical of the abusive practices of the governing sect.

3. Robber of democracy.

Today in Albania there is neither democracy nor democratic spirit in government. Everything is extinguished. The Socialist Party is no longer recognized. It has turned into a detachment obedient to the whims of the "Regional Leader", with ministers and party leaders who learn "live" from the "Leader" about the dismissal at the next show meeting, without receiving a single word about the reasons for the departure.

In the Assembly, none of the majority deputies dare to say a single phrase that may not please Rama. These representatives of the citizens' will no longer recognize the alternative opinion or opinion and self-censor begrudgingly or willingly.

4. Destructive of position-opposition cooperation and separation of powers.

Rama has killed the possibilities of cooperation between the position and the opposition for the major interests of the country, considering the opposition as enemies, through a derogatory vocabulary, verbal attacks and attempts to buy opposition representatives.

It has been eleven years since there is no separation of powers in Albania. The Legislature has turned into an ordinary notary of the government. The independent constitutional institutions are dulled and paid by Rama's hoof, with the exception of the Bank of Albania, while the fourth power, the media, has been bought in the vast majority of them by the tenders of the ruling sect.

5. Robber of the legal state and unscrupulous captor of the Albanian state.

According to Transparency International and SELDI, the Southeast European Leadership for Development and Integration, Albania pushes in the region and beyond, for laws prepared on the exclusive basis of the interests of a business lobby, even of a certain business or oligarch. It is enough to mention the law for the National Theatre, the law for Audiovisual Media, the law for Games of Chance, for the National Lottery, the law for Concessions and PPPs, for the Milot-Balldre highway, for the Air Albania company, the massacre of lands according to law No. 2020, massive abuses of the Strategic Investor Law, changes in the law on Protected Areas, etc.

6. Robber of Albanian property. Rama has robbed the lands on the coast from the residents of the South, to give them to his oligarchs, using the Strategic Investor Law as a tool.

7. Destroyer of the future of young people. According to INSTAT, in the last ten years 2014-2023, more than 700,000 people have left the country, or if the counties of Fier, Vlora and Kukës taken together are emptied! Of these, 345,000 left are young people aged 19-27. According to the EuroBarometer 2023, over 75 percent of the 19-27 age group in Albania want to emigrate, or almost eight out of ten young people, seeing no opportunity to realize their aspirations and build a future in their homeland.

With the nepotism and extreme politicization of the public administration, which have made it impossible for young people educated abroad to be employed in the state at home, with the murderous indifference towards the aspirations of young people who graduate in Albania, the Rama sect has destroyed the future of young people here. , practically the future of the country!

8. Destroyer of national identity.

Rama will be remembered in the country's 112-year history as a deliverer of national interests, undermining the perspective of the competitiveness of the national economy, with his participation in the "Open Balkans" initiative of his Siamese brother, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. Both Rama and Vu?i? behaved as underminers of the Berlin Process, forcing it to significantly slow down and open its wings for years, to make way for the "Open Balkan" surrogate they cooked up.

Rama is the architect of the handover of the sea to the Greeks, with an agreement with the government of the neighboring country, to address the issue in an international court, significantly weakening the national position in determining the waters of Albania, according to the well-defined rules of the coastline.

The "Regional Leader" will go down in history for bad and shame, with the robbery of Butrint through concession, a mysteriously unusual and unprecedented form of treatment of the country's archaeological treasures, which constitutes a cruel and devastating blow to our cultural heritage, its preservation and development.

Rama and his sect will be remembered for evil and shame even for devouring the Flag Square in Vlora and halving its surface, allegedly by "requalifying" it. The interventions in the Square constitute a heavy blow to the symbol and national awareness of our historical values.

9. Denying due care to the needy.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Albania had the lowest percentage of GDP for aid to the needy in the Western Balkans, with only 2.4% of GDP, while the GINI coefficient of Inequality has a very high level in Albania, which means that the gap between the poor and the rich in the country is getting deeper and deeper.

Mocking the hopes of 717,000 pensioners, Rama shamelessly continues to talk about a significant increase in pensions and their deep reform, even though in the last eleven years, pensions have never been increased, but only indexed.

10. Ruining the well-being of Albanians.

For 11 years in a row 2014-2024, Rama ignored every proposal and draft law from the opposition and civil society, for setting the Official Living Minimum, which would have immediately doubled the social assistance and would have caused that no pension in Albania would be below the minimum vital of 180 euros per month.

Because of this denial, Albanians remain the poorest people in Europe, according to a ranking that Eurostat has made based on the minimum wage, in July 2024. Albania is ranked the poorest country on the continent, due to the lowest purchasing power of money here, even though the minimum wage in Albania is higher than that in Moldova and Ukraine.

In 2013, public debt per capita for each citizen was 2,237 euros. In 2024, it increased to 5,647 euros per capita, with a 2.5 times increase!

For this year, the irresponsible sect in the governance of Albania has planned about 13.3 billion lek more expenses for the interests of the country's public debt, compared to 2023, or 133 million euros more from our taxes.

This is Rama and his sect. These are the black "masterpieces" of his stay in power. Therefore, on October 7, all Albanians will protest in Tirana, to hasten the end of this usurper and despicable robber of their democracy, freedom and well-being.
