Noka: The diaspora's vote, the hope to uproot the mafia from power

The Secretary General of the Democratic Party, Flamur Noka, delivered his speech at the meeting held in Brescia, Italy, with Albanians in the diaspora, where he also conveyed the greetings of the President of the Democratic Party, Mr. Sali Berisha.

Noka described the diaspora vote as one of the main goals of the DP, seeing it as the main, greatest hope for returning Albania to the olive groves of democracy and uprooting the mafia from power.

"It is a privilege to be among you here today, it is a great emotion to convey to you the heartfelt greetings from the President of the Democratic Party, the Leader of the Opposition, Professor, Doctor Sali Berisha.

We may be the only nation that has been scattered like no other in these years, we may be the only nation in Europe that has twice as many diasporas as there are inhabitants in the country of origin. In these 12 years, we feel with pain and see with terrible regret how the alternative that a regime offered to Albanians was flight and departure.

And why, our country lacks opportunities, our country is a blessed country, a country that has sea, mountains, a country that has wealth and resources, but our country unfortunately fell into the clutches of the mafia. This is worse than any landslide.

This also explains your concern, which you bear every day. You experience the troubles of your family members in Albania every day, you work for yourself but you also keep your people alive in Albania. And this makes us feel proud of you, for maintaining the connection with the homeland.

We are here today to establish a new, important connection with you. We, the Democrats, are here today to tell you that finally, thanks to the persistence of the DP, the battle fought, thanks to the pressure, the right to vote for you, the diaspora all over the world, was made possible. We are proud that we started this and the DP was crowned with success, because it is impossible for a nation, when more than half of its population is abroad, not to be given the right of that nation to fully exercise its right to vote and the right to elect its government with sovereignty.

"The diaspora vote has been one of the main goals of the DP, seeing it as the main, greatest hope to return Albania to the olive groves of democracy and to uproot the mafia from power,"  declared Noka from Brescia.
