This awareness is not yet awakening Albanians, who are so easily manipulated, as is the politics we are creating and whose visions we accept, which are often empty promises.
Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had a knack for public speaking. Instead of making impossible projections, she managed to clearly and concisely explain her ideas and her vision for the state. But the communist East and all its derivatives would better understand the messages and the “simplicity” of the policy in her Speech at the Eastern and Central European Entrepreneurs Forum in St. Petersburg, in the early 1990s. At that time, she was no longer prime minister, after three full terms, but she had the audacity of a tough and uncompromising stateswoman, whose merit had been the rise of the United Kingdom in the 1970s and 1980s. In fact, the label “Iron Lady”, a representative phrase for her direct politics and leadership style, which a Russian journalist gave her, would say a lot about how her figure was really perceived.
Thatcher would embarrass her listeners, who had signed the invitation 4-5 months earlier under the name Leningrad, while now she came to the white city of St. Petersburg with her spare words and clear sentences. The political and democratic lecture had been an enlightenment not only for her listeners, but also for her patriots.
The emphasis on democracy was on political parties, when he spoke about their establishment: "First, democracy will not function without strong political parties. These parties must be built around the big issues of principle and philosophy, and you must distinguish these from all those secondary details about which party members can and will legitimately disagree."
This is the biggest blow to our democracy, because our parties, despite Rama's victories in the SP and Berisha's unchallenged power over the DP, do not have a clear philosophy and principles. Moreover, the militants of both cannot see the other details, which are in fact predominant and have only profit and privilege at their core. Aman, here is another consolation for Albanian politics and militants. Profit is worth more.
"And, if party politics does not always seem to meet your highest expectations, please remember that you are not unique in this. Politics always reflects the character and caliber of those who practice it and, of course, of those who elect them", she would continue. In short, the blame should not be sought from others but precisely from the choice of the moment, the one that is keeping Albania stuck in such conditions and where our politics does not disappoint with its cynicism in these few weeks, namely the elections. Therefore, the woman who displayed such harsh qualities in her politics and even initiated a war was described, that we should not forget something that..." only the politics of democratic parties can prevent the permanent and uncontested imposition of bad government on the people", she explained to the hall that was devouring her. Many years later, this awareness is still not awakening Albanians, who are so easily manipulated, as is the politics that we are creating and whose visions we accept, which are often empty promises. Without democratic political parties, there is no democracy for the country.
The 2025 elections are another test of our ability or inability to create a state of the future. And it's that simple. We need to start with political parties. Thatcher showed her eastern contemporaries with a few examples 35 years ago.
