Edi Rama spoke today about the protest, during the meeting of the SP Group and the cabinet.
“Today I want to talk about what we saw and heard during the month of June, where the boulevard was filled with all categories and ages and when a rare bird became a symbol…
I have brought with me today two documents, which embody my reflection in front of the mirror of the boulevard of flamingos and are open to be read, analyzed and changed in order to best fulfill the purpose. The first is the strategic document for the turnaround that the fourth term should make. The second is an annex on how the SP should support the turn of the fourth term”, said Rama at the beginning of his speech.
“Each of us has thought at least once of that bad word when the spirit came to the tip of his nose in working relations with the people… he thought they were ungrateful.
I want to tell you right from the beginning to those who protested against the mayor, who came out on the boulevard during June and those who protested silently, alone or with others, in Albania and abroad, not only during June but after the elections… you are not ungrateful but the new measure of our standards.
Here I am sharing a little with those who were voters, supporters, members of the SP, those who were state employees and in the afternoon went out on the boulevard. Those who voted for us came out and joined him even when the protest was directed against me, because its absorbing force was more impressive than my figure. Those from the administration came out because the new Albania that we have built does not live in the shadow of the old one when people were fired from their jobs…
They gathered in such large numbers there when the crows and ravens had not yet taken out their heads, because they were driven by a deep need to convey a stronger message than belonging to a party,” said Rama.
