Berisha warns of civil disobedience in the world

Leader of the Democratic Party Sali Berisha

Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha has accused Prime Minister Rama, whom he says is using reprehensible, anti-constitutional methods to control the diaspora vote.

During his speech at a media conference, the leader of the Democratic Party stated that they have prepared an amendment requiring that Albanians living abroad be recognized for any biometric document of the country where they live for voting purposes.

If their request is not accepted, Chief Democrat Berisha warns of the launch of a new powerful civil disobedience movement.

"So, we made the compromise, but since it was also requested in the sense that we make changes with mutual concessions, this should not be a concession at all because there cannot be a political force that agrees to punish two-thirds of Albanians for not having Albanian ID cards or passports in their pockets."

In this context, I once again invite, first of all, the CEC to make official demarches and express itself publicly because the implementation of the Constitutional Court's decision is a major constitutional obligation.

Otherwise, we will organize the most powerful demonstrations near the embassies of the narco-state, but not only near the embassies.

So, a new powerful movement of civil disobedience will begin, the one that is in Albania, will continue in the world.

We can never agree with the fear and absurdity that the regime shows towards the immigration vote.

This means excluding at least 1 million Albanians from the right to vote.

Because it has become very clear, Eurostat says 1.1 million Albanians from 2014 to 2022. Of them, about 200 thousand are unlegalized. The rest are either family reunification, or legalized. So, two-thirds or more are that they want to exclude them in this way.

I'm not saying that all of them don't have documents, but overall they don't have documents.

And from all over the country we are notified that we are not able to register due to documents.

Once again, I call on all immigrants and the diaspora to prepare for the most powerful protests in front of the embassies representing the narco-state, which seeks to punish them and de facto deny them the right to vote.

"This constitutes a very serious, very big violation, the exclusion of 1 million Albanians just because they do not have an Albanian document, is unheard of ever," Berisha declared./ CNA
