Agron Duka, message to the opposition/ Call for unity

The chairman of the Agrarian Environmentalist Party, Agron Duka

The chairman of the Environmentalist Agrarian Party, Agron Duka, issued an invitation to all opposition parties.

As he accuses the government, the Duke demands that the entire opposition assume its responsibilities.

He calls for unity and declares that strength must be found and political grudges and pettiness must be overcome.

The head of the PAA emphasizes that the opposition must come before the people with a better governing offer, to gain their trust.

Full statement:

Dear friends and colleagues!

This political year is very important for Albanians and Albania. The 2025 elections are as important as those of 1992, when for the first time, after half a century, another political force took over the leadership of the country.

The socialists in power, like never before in the post-communist years, stayed in power for 3 terms and are fighting "at any cost" to get the fourth term.

The opposition, like never before in these 34 years, is divided into many parts.

We are all aware of how much the long rule of the socialists has degraded into corruption and incrimination.

Our fragile democracy, which has always been classified as a hybrid, is now at a loss as to what name it may have. Since the manipulation of elections and the deformation of the vote is no longer aimed simply through violence and money, but mostly through the law.

The existing parliament proved to be fatally degraded, being put in the service of corruption. How many laws have been approved only in the interest of a business or group of businesses? Laws and decisions have even been adopted, which enable even a single politician to mortgage properties that do not belong to him.

There is nothing more corrupt than the legislator!

Instead of being the guarantor of the control of the executive, the legislator has become the notary of the thefts of the executive.

Today, this country does not simply need to change the government cabinet!

There is no need to change the prime minister, ministers and a dozen directors.

This country needs to uproot, dismantle, scale a system, an entire legal and administrative mechanism that serves to rob citizens' wealth and taxes. The laws and mechanisms of PPPs, concessions, strategic investors, investors who register off-shore, etc. etc., are today the black holes that absorb the properties, national assets, citizens' taxes and with them, their hope.

This has caused citizens to continue to flee. The number of births decreases, the number of students decreases, the number of students decreases, the number of elderly people increases.

The number of cows, sheep and goats decreases. The surface of the land that is planted and the yield of the products fall...

In the 2025 elections, it is not just a race to get power, it is a race to save the country.

Therefore, we must assume our responsibilities as responsible politicians. We are aware that we do not have a rival party in front of us, but we have in front of us the entire state and power, with all its mechanisms and assets. We face both street crime and organized crime money. For this reason, we must find strength and step over political grudges and small dassies.

We must unite!

We have to come before the people with a better governance offer, to gain their trust. Only with a mass vote can we win over the manipulations produced by the law and the economic-financial machinery of power./ CNA
