Berisha: We succeeded in transforming Albania, creating a Tirana-Elbasan-Durrës metropolis
The leader of the Democratic Party, Sali Berisha, held a meeting with members of the Democratic Party in Elbasan. During his speech, he emphasized that the Democrats succeeded in transforming Albania.
Berisha: I would first like to humble myself with the greatest respect, the most boundless gratitude to all those men and women, boys and girls who, under conditions of truly savage, unprecedented terror, founded the Democratic Party in this city 34 years ago, as the party of the highest, most noble ideals of the citizens of this city and of Albanians as a whole.
A heartfelt greeting to all of you here, to all the citizens of Elbasan, the leaders, the deputies, and to express my conviction that this 34th anniversary is not history, but a new start towards the victory of May 11, the victory long awaited by the Albanians.
Dear friends, 34 years ago, the country was ruled by a terrorist political force that had built more prisons and camps than stadiums or playgrounds.
It was ruled by a political force, which, in implementation of the terrorist doctrine, had established in Albania, as in no other former communist country in Europe, the dictatorship of the tyranny of misery, of hyper-collectivization, the dictatorship of the deepest isolation, the dictatorship of the carnage of class warfare.
The men and women, the boys and girls who in December '90 took the courage to create its opponent, to create the political force of the ideals for which Albanians had sacrificed more than any other nation in the communist dictatorship, the political force of freedoms and human dignity, to create the political force of national interest in the face of the political force created by Belgrade as an organ of national betrayal, to create the political force as a force of thought of Albanianness, of renaissance, of Elbasan, of the future.
My friends, the days were difficult, but that time proved that endurance and wisdom were stronger than the cannons and tanks that were deployed in this city, that bled this city.
Today, after 34 years, every democrat, every supporter of this party in 34 years, should feel proud because it managed to peacefully overthrow the most brutal dictatorship.
It reached the place of total hypercollectivization, restoring the market economy.
He managed to establish a system of values, dignity and human freedoms. He built democracy.
He managed to open Albania, to place it on the right side of history with its allies.
He managed to integrate Albania into the Council of Europe, to move confidently towards the EU, and to make it a member of NATO.
In 2008, Albanians, who had experienced the greatest poverty for centuries, managed to leave the group of poor nations and move into the group of upper middle-income nations.
This was an extraordinary merit of the free citizens of this country that made Albania move towards development at faster pace than any other country.
My friends, if you look at it from a philosophical perspective, what was this party? This party was the party of the great truths of man.
Our ideals are true, human dignity is the essence of freedom. The family is the greatest sanctity of society.
The initiative of freedom is the vital force of a society.
National interest is the pillar without which no political force deserves to exist.
These were the values, the principles on which we stood. We stood true even in our most difficult times. In 1997, we took responsibility for allowing pyramid schemes. But I am reminding each of you here. We dominated the communist rebellion with arms through elections.
We decided to go to the sovereign. To judge him despite the fact that he wrongly thought that we had taken his money. We had never touched it.
But there was a moment there that we should not forget. In cities where even the kalash was cracking, DP representatives declared that a debt that was not taken on cannot be recognized.
Our rivals declared that we would give them every penny. So, we refused to cheat, no matter the price we might pay. But lying was not an option for us.
This was the reason why Albanians voted for us for 4 years, despite the mistakes we had made.
We stayed true at all times and succeeded in transforming Albania.
We managed to create a Tirana-Elbasan-Durrës metropolis.
We managed to ensure that Albanians in this blessed land were paid better than all other nations in the region, including Romanians and Bulgarians.
And I tell you that at that time, our target was Slovenia, which today has equal salaries and pensions with developed European countries.
