Former Minister of Finance Arben Malaj has reacted regarding the protests in the country for the resignation of Prime Minister Rama.
In a reaction published on social networks, Malaj that Rama’s resignation is a completely feasible objective, since “his personal government is rotten and everything rotten falls”.
Malaj emphasizes that the main mission of any movement should be the concept of “New Albania”, which according to him should be clearly defined in terms of content and implementation.
“The protest must be ready to be competitive in the new elections for the central government, but especially for any option for early parliamentary elections. The movement of the protestors must be done to prevent the insidious resignation of Rama, who may leave temporarily not to really run away, but to return with more aggressiveness and primitive revenge”, writes Malaj, among other things.
Arben Malaj’s post
Watch out! Peaceful and patriotic protest can be “suicide” by euphoric populism.
This is for several main reasons:
1. Clarification of the phenomenon of the rise of Generation socialism, also referred to this article, overloading the protest with many messages that dilute its objectivity and especially its mission.
Rama’s resignation is an entirely feasible objective, because his government — purely personal — is rotten. Everything rotten falls.
The only mission of this protest should be “New Albania”.
This mission must be clarified, what it means and how it will be accomplished.
This mission cannot simply be a parallel to the protests, but a vision and a realizable objective
The objectives must be clarified as clearly and as easily as possible for every protester and every Albanian to:
which are immediate/short term, which are medium term and
which are part of the long-term vision.
The objectives must be well structured, starting from constitutional changes,
social,
economic and
budgetary.
This requires that for these not easy objectives, Albanian and diasporic experts from Albania and abroad begin to engage in online platforms, making good use of the extraordinary possibilities of artificial intelligence,
to draw up draft documents for specific reforms.
It is only on the basis of these documents that the draft contract between the protesters and all Albanians should be prefaced for the deep political reformation.
This work should begin without delay, because it increases credibility and public support before, during and especially after the protests.
Beware of euphoric populism! Based on the article above, euphoric promises are “deep pits that sink both new social and political movements.
11. Our protests should learn from the “Arab Spring”,
(i)
Which brought down “family kingdoms and personal kingdoms” worth hundreds of billions of dollars,
(ii)
but failed in the mission to build the promised tomorrow.
The protest movement must be very wary of complacency,
from division or even from misuse by “two Siamese brothers”
who rule over killing the hope and future of all Albanians.
12.
The protest must be ready to be competitive in the new elections for the central government,
but especially for any option for early parliamentary elections.
The movement of the protestors must be made to prevent the insidious resignation of Rama,
who may leave temporarily
not really to run away, but to come back:
(i) more aggressively
(ii) and primitive revenge.
Last, dear protesters
patriots,
peaceful and well-educated:
Committed to the historic mission,
what Albanians expect from you is one and only one:
“New Albania”.
Good luck and thanks!
