TIRANA, Nov. 14 /ATA/ – Socialist Party leader and Prime Minister Edi Rama said Saturday a national debate would be held soon to discuss both the progress Albania has made and the many challenges facing the country and its people.
Speaking at the assembly, Rama said Albania was now closer than ever to its long-awaited historic moment.
“All this data may be useful to those who ventured to draw a parallel between Belgrade and Tirana. The situations are entirely different. This is a country where the freedom enjoyed by anyone positioned against us is such that nowhere else can you find nightly choruses like those lined up across television screens to glorify violence. Meanwhile, on the television channels of France, Spain, Germany and any other European country, you will not find media representatives acting as spokespeople for violence,” Rama said.
The prime minister stressed that the election result and the majority secured by the Socialist Party carried a direct responsibility to advance Albania’s EU integration process. He argued that such political backing was essential to pass the reforms and legislation required for EU membership.
Rama called on all Socialist Party structures to engage fully, describing the process as a historic responsibility that every party member must shoulder.
“This is a historic responsibility today, one that each of you must feel individually, reflecting on what we discussed earlier and taking your place on the active front line. Every cell of the Socialist Party must be mobilised; the entire organisational bloodstream of this party must be set in motion,” he said.
The Socialist Party leader said Albania must prepare to become Europe’s new star, adding that Europe would one day officially speak the ancient Albanian language.
