Full speech:

Honorable Secretary General Mr. Flamur Noka

Honorable Chairman Aleksander Lala

Honorable Chairman Albert Mëlyshi

Honorable first founders of the Democratic Party, democrats and friends,

Today, we have gathered to remember one of the most important moments in Mirdita's political history, the founding of the Democratic Party, the force that opened the doors to freedom and democracy.

This anniversary is a moment of reflection, pride, and gratitude for those who bravely raised the banner of hope and courage at a time of great challenges, in the face of the bloodiest dictatorship in Europe.

Gratitude today and always to the visionary founders!

Mirdita, with its history and traditions, has been as much a natural fortress, if not more, a spiritual fortress!

Rebellion, characteristic of free people, has always adorned him.

It is no coincidence that the emblem of the State of Arbër was found here,

It is no coincidence that the province almost always functioned as a free principality,

It is no coincidence that the memory of Skanderbeg and the Dukagjins never faded here,

It is no coincidence that the anti-Ottoman uprisings were forged in these towers, it is no coincidence that the strongest anti-communist resistance was ignited in these mountains with Mark and Llesh Gjomarkaj at the forefront! Coherence is transmitted by people!

In the Albanian area, the province is a symbol of non-assimilation, state formation, dignity and identity.

Albania has often been inspired by Mirdita!

At the moments when the first Albanian state was threatened by the Dum Babists, the weapons of the Mirditors, behind Preng Bibë Doda, creaked so that the bridge with Europe, protecting Prince Vid, would not be broken!

The Catholic clergy, on stone tablets, wrote the language of Pal Engjëllit and Buzuku when Albanian was under attack by Turkish gluttony!

Bright figures like Abat Doçi lit the torch of the National Renaissance.

In this land, where respect for life and death was never betrayed and where the Kanun of Lekë Dukagjini was codified by Father Shtjefën Gjeçovi as a testament to our tradition, Mirdita has the moral right to speak to every time and every generation with her mental power!

In January 1991, when the people of Mirditia rose up against communism and founded the Democratic Party, they didn't just make a political choice – they made an oath for freedom and the future.

Over the years, the Democratic Party has overcome great challenges, but the political, intellectual and spiritual will of the Democrats, and especially of leader Sali Berisha, has enabled our party to overcome even the most serious crisis, proving that when unity and vision are in the service of an ideal, in the service of truth, nothing can stop the sacred mission of saving Albania!

We rose again after the communist revolution of 1997, we rose again after the mafia revolution of these years, we made the impossible possible!

We will destroy the "Rilindja" front; we will undo Edi Rama's scotch, his roots everywhere in Mirdita, Lezha and Kurbin!

Today, thanks to the return of the historic leader, Sali Berisha, and the tireless efforts to unite the democrats, the Democratic Party is more determined than ever to defend its values ​​and restore hope and normality to Albanians.

This unity is the foundation of the greatest front that the time requires!

We believe in victory, so we will touch it on May 11th!

We are on the attack!

We need a vital alliance with the diaspora, our people everywhere in the world, to become part of the change!

We must not hesitate to fight indifference!

Albert Mëlyshi's victory in the Mirdita Municipality is clear proof that when people look each other in the eye, feel the truth, and believe in victory, it is possible.

This is just the beginning of a journey. We have full confidence that on May 11, this energy and this unity will turn into a great victory, not only for the Democratic Party, but for all of Albania.

May God bless Mirdita, the Democratic Party, and Albania!

Thank you!
