From Bavaria, where he participated in the opening of the "Herrenchiemsee Festspiele" festival, Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke about the values that build Europe, focusing on the role of art and culture as bridges that connect peoples.
He emphasized that Europe should not be seen only as a political or economic construct, but as a shared civilization, shaped through sensitivity, creativity, and beauty.
"Today we are at a time when Europe, our common home, is surrounded by the sound of weapons, the fear of fragmentation and the temptation to forget what binds us together. Europe has never been a treaty or a currency, nor simply a parliament or a market.
Europe has been and remains a civilization. A way of feeling the world, a way of believing that beauty has political weight, that art is not a luxury but a way of life. This festival, in its silent challenge, is a gathering of resistance. Resistance to the cynicism that reduces Europe to bureaucracy. Resistance to the despair that sees culture as decoration.
We in Albania know what silence sounds like. For decades we lived behind the Iron Curtain that we built ourselves. And yet even then music found its way. A smuggled cassette, a banned score, a memory from a concert before the walls were erected. Today Albanian musicians study in Munich and Berlin, German musicians perform in Tirana. This is no coincidence. This is Europe doing what it was created for, to unite through creation, to elevate through exchange," said Rama.
