Reorganization of royals, historical necessity

Albania is in a political, economic and social situation, obviously very difficult. Why?

Because corruption is capillaryized in the entire state edifice. Organized crime has gripped the state and ordinary crime has become the anxiety of the day. Poverty is extreme in most Albanians. These and many other reasons are emptying Albania.

On the other hand, the current opposition is going through a difficult situation within itself and to some extent has naturally shied away from its political obligations in the face of this painful Albanian reality.

Under these conditions, the country needs an alternative, both political and values, to save itself from further degradation and decline. This alternative is the revitalization of royal values ??and the reorganization of royals.

King Zog I is the first long-term statesman who framed the European Albania, even in the most critical period of the world, the one between the two world wars. Creator and implementer of the best administration of the Albanian state of all times, as well as of a contemporary legislation, he paved the way for social emancipation and the development of the country's potentials and oriented the development of Albania according to European models and democratic potentials.

It is a fact that the history of the Albanian state of that time is also the history of Ahmet Zogu, because it is his work. Therefore, honoring Ahmet Zogu is a legitimate honor for the Albanian state. King Zog is monumentalized in squares, boulevards, institutions, schools, roads, bridges, etc., as the statesman with the longest contribution in the history of the Albanian state since the declaration of independence, where Ahmet Zogu was among its defenders.

These values ??become even more tangible and sensitive, when Albanians compare what they saw after Ahmet Zogu, from April 1939, and what they still see today.

Communist propaganda, for half a century, did everything, not only to deny these contributions, but also to undo and smear the figure of King Zog.

After the fall of the communist dictatorship, the royalists and the "Legality Movement" Party re-erected these values ??on their rightful pedestal in national history. One of the main priorities of the "Legality Movement" Party until 2012 has been the removal of that half-century mud of the communist dictatorship towards King Zog and today we are proud that, not only have we removed this mud, but we have illuminated and exalted it his figure.

In the referendum of June 29, 1997 that King Leka I conducted with institutional dignity throughout the country, the royal alternative won about 54% nationally, despite the intentional frauds that were made by the electoral and political institutions of that time. With the achieved result, King Leka I is the most voted person in the political history of Albania.

With the initiative of the parliamentary group of the "Legality Movement" Party and the support of 76 deputies of the Albanian Parliament, on June 28, 2002, the Royal Family after 63 years of forced emigration returned permanently to the Motherland. The arrival of King Leka in Rinas will be recorded in the history books as the most enthusiastic reception that has ever been given to any personality of the Albanian people.

King Leka passed away on November 30, 2011. The Albanian state organized an official funeral ceremony, declaring a day of national mourning and lowering the flag to half-mast in all institutions. This ceremony, organized in the hall of the Albanian parliament, welcomed for homage all the highest leaders of the state from Albania and Kosovo, the heads of all religious beliefs, the leaders of the entire Albanian political spectrum and tens of thousands of citizens, who came from all the Albanian lands to bid farewell to their King.

The potential of the royalists is therefore evident: almost half of the population believes in the alternative and royal values. The royals feel proud, because this belief in the values ??of the institutions of the Kingdom as the best governance of all times, as well as in the royal values ??as citizens, is real, not imaginary.

Unfortunately, for several years now, the royals have lost their political voice, have been silenced and therefore do not even feel politically represented. Naturally, royals feel proud of their past, but feel disappointed in their present. Their national, political and public voice has been extinguished for the royal cause and the serious current situation of the Albanian society and state.

With the monument of King Zog, located right on the Boulevard that bears his name, he has been monumentalized in the history of the Albanian state. Of course, this is a fact of pride, but from here comes a great obligation for all Albanian royals to convey this governing philosophy, so desirable for Albanians. But the royal governing philosophy, proven by time as the most effective philosophy for national interests and social welfare, becomes fascist if there is no national, political and public voice, if there is no institutional representation at the highest levels of power in Albania.

Royal contributions and values ??are national assets. Royals are not allowed not to keep these contributions and values ??alive.

The golden time of civic, physical and economic security, which the Albanian people enjoyed during the Kingdom, should not remain simply as a matter of nostalgia. It is, first of all, a point of reference for the future.

The royals are not allowed to be indifferent in the face of the severe political, economic and social reality of Albania.

Therefore, the reorganization of the royalists is a necessity to give their contribution to the change of this reality in Albania. Reacting to this reality, with awareness, organization and political action, is a historical necessity.
