The culmination of Kryemadhi's actions was making public her vote for Ilir Meta to be elected party president. Now what is expected is what Kryemadhi will do in the future: Will he start a new battle in the party by attacking his wife, especially those who surround him these days, or will he withdraw from politics completely.
Ilir Meta was elected President of the Freedom Party on Saturday, after receiving 691 votes at the National Convention of this party out of 727 delegates who had the right to vote. Meanwhile, Erisa Xixho is now officially the second figure, receiving 680 votes and taking the post as vice president of the party. After the election of other party leaders with the principle that leaders are formed in the opposition and not in the government, as expected, it was also confirmed that Monika Kryemadhi and her close associates Endrit Brahimllari, Elona Guri and others are no longer part of the party. of high structures officially bringing a big division in this party. Not only formally, this moment is actually the start of a new stage in the history of the Freedom Party since its foundation. But now the big question is: What will be the future of this party? Of course, the Convention was a big shock for the party, because until a few weeks ago, nothing happened in it. Amid the numerous uproar in the media, especially in social networks, with big question marks as to why Ilir Meta has exploded in recent days, what is now expected is whether time will give him the right for all this tectonic movement that he caused for make the party great again, or will it all turn out to be an empty movement and a failure? In fact, Ilir Meta has fought many battles in his 34-year career in politics. He has fought several battles with the dominant political figures in the country, such as Sali Berisha, Fatos Nanon, Pandeli Majko, Edi Rama. He has won some of them, but also lost, and yet he has marked his name in history as one of the most important and influential politicians in Albania after the fall of communism. He mentioned these himself during the speech, adding that he had "learned the school of Ramiz Ali, Fatos Nano and Sali Berisha to face the mafia". Here he also included an attempted battle with the Italian ambassador Alberto Cutilo who had questioned his decree as President of the Republic, for which he indicated that he would have declared him non grata, but did not do so in order not to damage relations with Italy. But it is also true that none of the old battles resemble this current one. Because in the first place he has the battle with his wife Monika Kryemadhi, who has been fellow travelers in all past battles and already excluded her from decision-making for nepotism. And secondly, he has this battle with him, making a big bet to resurrect the party that was shrinking more and more from the fall.
META'S SPEECH MESSAGES
With 2,000 views on livestream, 21 shares and 73 comments on his official Facebook page, for 1.33 minutes, Ilir Meta for the first time gave a previously unprepared written speech at a high party activity. His entire speech which started at 11.15 and ended at 12.48. was accompanied by a major promise for him, that the Freedom Party will become great again and that it will be the kingmaker in Albanian politics. The longest he has held at a convention, the speech was filled with historical excess from world politics intertwined with the Albanian one, giving examples that have remained in history in the memory of different nations and according to Meta there is no reason why they should not be repeated in Albania.
The first event that Meta advertised in the speech was related to the story of Yakov, the son of the Russian dictator Joseph Stalin, who was captured by the Germans. For the sake of victory in the battle of Smolensk in 1941 during World War II, he refused to exchange it for a German general captured by the Russians. This meant that for the sake of his wife Monika Kryemadhi, Ilir Meta cannot allow the destruction of the party.
The second event was related to the story of Vojo Kushi, who was killed by the Italian fascists in the Second World War for his patriotic ideals, and according to Meta, in Albania, like him, there are still such characters in the Freedom Party.
The third event was related to the 19-year-old Vasil Laçin, whose assassination attempt on the King of Italy Victor Emmanuel in Tirana on April 12, 1941 served as the start of the Albanian resistance during the Second World War. Although the fascists offered him facilities in exchange for declaring that he was paid or that he was not Albanian, he did not betray his ideals and after a month and a half they shot him in the prison yard. This meant, according to Meta, that traitors have no place in the Freedom Party.
The fourth event was related to the story of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who, during World War II, sent his son Randolph to Yugoslavia to see first-hand who was fighting against the German invaders, and he was told that only the partisans were fighting, others don't. This meant that the Freedom Party should support those who work and not those who are indifferent and lazy.
The fifth event was again related to Prime Minister Churchill who, after winning the Second World War, lost the electoral race in the parliamentary elections and not only did he not worry, but said that this was a miracle because this is what he had fought for to be free. This meant for Meta that even if they lost this battle, he and the Freedom Party would win to be free.
Ngjarja e gjashtë lidhej me historinë e legjendës së futbollit korçar Teodor Vason që ndërroi jetë pak kohë më parë dhe që nuk i shkoi në varrim asnjë personalitet i lartë lokal dhe kombëtar as nga fusha e sportit e as nga bashkia, vetëm se ai kishte kundërshtuar që në vend të terreneve sportive të ndërtoheshin kulla. Dhe për të gjithë këtë Meta bëri me faj ministrin e Mbrojtjes Niko Peleshi dhe duke dhënë mesazhin se kështu sillet me armiqtë pushteti aktual.
Ngjarja e shtatë lidhej me historinë e të riut Indrit Cara nga Kavaja që në pranverën e vitit 1999 la Anglinë për tu rreshtuar me UÇK-në për çlirimin e Kosovës dhe u vra në një nga betejat me serbët. Kjo nënkuptonte se ideali kombëtar është më sublimi dhe kërkon edhe sakrifica duke e sjellë atë model për rininë e sotme.
Dhe pasi i renditi të gjitha këto Meta iu drejtua konventës me pyetjen: Këta luftuan për idealin kombëtar dhe atdheun, ndërsa ne duhet të lëmë Shqipërinë?
MONIKA KRYEMADHI NË BETEJË ME METËN
Dy herë e tregoi Ilir Meta historinë e Jakovit të Stalinit që e sakrifikoi si rob vetëm për të fituar betejën me gjermanët gjatë Luftë së Dytë Botërore. Të dyja herët ai shigjetoi bashkëshorten e tij Monika Kryemadhi. Dhe të dy herët i bëri pyetje sallës: Nuk dinte Stalini si ta lironte të birin e marrë peng nga gjermanët? Që nënkuptohej ndryshe: “Nuk e di Ilir Meta si ta shpëtojë Monika Kryemadhin? Por për Metën më e rëndësishme se bashkëshortja, është e ardhmja e partisë dhe për këtë ai sakrifikoi zonjën Kryemadhi. Dhe për ta sqaruar akoma më shumë plagën e nepotizmit që e quajti ndryshe sëmundjen e partisë, Meta tregoi se në një mbledhje që kishte me të rinjtë kishin marrë pjesë vetëm 15 veta dhe kjo tregonte se partia po lëngonte. Dhe për këtë fajësonte direkt Monika Kryemadhin. Për ta treguar aftrofizimin e partisë Meta vijoi edhe me një shëmbull të rëndë për mënyrën se si Kryemadhi e drejtonte partinë. Sipas tij një mësuese kishte kërkuar disa herë të anëtarësohej në Partinë e Lirisë por asaj as përgjigje nuk i jepnin. Salla me anëtarët e Konventës nuk po u besonte veshëve teksa dëgjonte këto fjalë pas 20 viteve nga themelimi i partisë dhe 30 viteve bashkëjetesë së Ilir Metës dhe Monika Kryemadhit në politië dhe si bashkëshortë.
Meanwhile, Kryemadhi gave only a few public messages that the first one was a gladiator with heels which meant that a battle would follow with her husband and the other one that would watch the children, implying that in the family battle she was supported by the children. The culmination of Kryemadhi's actions was making public her vote for Ilir Meta to be elected party president. Now what is expected is what Kryemadhi will do in the future: Will he start a new battle in the party by attacking his wife, especially those who surround him these days, or will he withdraw from politics completely. With what she has shown so far, Kryemadhi is not the type of woman who "will run home to wash the dishes", or "will run away because she left the dish on the fire". For 3 decades, she has shown that she has never given up on battles and only through them has she been formed as a political figure. The latter is more likely to happen. It's just that it is expected when he will start this battle. Maybe, after the summer holidays.
ILIR META'S GOAL IS TO MAKE THE PARTY GREAT AGAIN
Meta more than once put his finger on the open and large wound of the Freedom Party. And for this he gave a statistic that left everyone speechless: "Half of the party is in emigration". According to Meta, the situation was really difficult. Some jugglers who were also participants in the convention on Saturday and have always been there have made the situation difficult for Meta. Many events have happened in these 20 years in this party. Many figures are gone, but these jugglers have not moved. It was even funny during the convention that even though they didn't know the words of the song, just to please Meta yesterday, they moved their lips as if they were singing like Mentor Xhemal's "Për ty atdhe". Will these guys follow Meta in the future? They will continue to juggle, but it is not certain whether Meta will treat them again with the same status or kick them out of the party as he did with his wife. Time will be the best medicine for all.
Accepting the not at all comfortable situation that the Freedom Party is in, Meta returned to the old stories with his grandparents who advised him that whenever there was a difficult situation, they should not give up. And immediately after that he made a promise: We will throw Rilindash into the trash bin for the extermination it is doing to the nation. And the end of the speech carried the slogan in English "Never give up". This is accompanied by the oath "To your homeland" or the request that "we are a blessed country, but we must be a united people". But will Meta keep this major promise for his party? There are still 12 months until the parliamentary elections. Their result will show whether Ilir Meta will win this battle or lose it. Voting day will also determine his political future.
