10 notes from the PDA debate

In the 10 minutes I have available, 10 points drawn from my notes during the debate.

First of all, I'm glad that the opposition, the main one, did and underlined the difference between my presentation word and what I kept here four years ago. No wonder you called it a trick, a trick, a trick, a hypocrisy, and I'm sorry. You're guilty of not believing, as it is, a real opening to you, built as a new approach to what I and I have learned in four years and especially this year. But this is just the beginning of the beginning, and our hand will continue to extend to you and you have seen nothing yet.

Second, I'm sorry on the other hand, that I couldn't make any difference between your words today and what you said here four years ago. I'm not surprised at that either, I'm glad you couldn't challenge the new government for a moment, with the articulation of just one new thing. No! Not one more sentence. Even an unprecedented sound in the old song 4 years ago. That for a new alternative, it would be ruthless to ask for your situation.

Third, you know, it's much easier to say than come, the curve this people are expecting and deserved by their representatives, all of us here, in this room and in the political debate as a whole. But we will continue to patiently and persistently knock on your ears, in the hope that you will wake up and react, challenging us with ideas that open the debate, not with open eyes, that simply break silence, returning, without losing another four years, from long running into real life reality, where you have left the place of the ruling alternative empty. By not rejecting the outstretched hand of our co-operation on issues that are not left, they are not right, they are Albanian issues.

Fourth, you accused me of buying and stealing votes in choosing for the Speaker of the Parliament. I'm not surprised, I'm surprised, I can't even blame you when I see you and hear you continue to deny reality. It looks like the culture of denial of reality has become a politically transmitted disease. The symptom of this disease was evident even on this occasion, when protagonists of the old republic put the cup that votes were bought by crime. While the New Republic's conduct said the votes were stolen in a trap they themselves had opened, leaving the numbering site empty.

Fifth, you complained all the time that you didn't find a program on our program. You didn't find a reflection, you said, "What didn't go well for, you didn't find any numbers, cost, balance and so on." What if in fact, what you didn't find, was there and you didn't have your eyes to see and your mind to understand and I wouldn't raise that question. It's very serious as a question of a parliamentary opposition, as if I didn't see you and see all of Albania drowning in a spoon of water. For example, you lost 140 thousand votes compared to 4 years ago. Now come here, 13 people short of choice when you went, with the conclusion that we, with about 60 thousand more votes and 9 people plus from what we're fighting, are in a panic that people have abandoned us. Now, does anyone tell me, how you can see it and how you can understand our program, when you're not able to see such a simple and shocking fact, that links it to the shock of the euro from crime.

The sixth, even the president Basha, was in his address, the first in this hall, a shocked copy of the leader of the New Republic. It seemed as if he had more trouble with the ghosts of Astrit Pattoz and Jopzephine, who accuse and threaten Mark Zugenberg's pangers than to present to his replica 41 minutes and 02 seconds, to my 41 minutes and 02 seconds speech, the opposition card, the alternative vision for Albania. The playback laws of the freedom tent were just like that leftover lunch dish that warms up for dinner. I hope you finish that dish. I don't understand how big that pot was. Finish and return to real, concrete, productive debate.

Seven, I still feel necessary to repeat, that I am ready, we are ready to immediately open the dialogue on issues of common interest, for the benefit of our people and Albania of our children. As well as why we have to wait, or many honored head of the Democratic Party, to address these issues jointly, in an institutionalised dialogue between the parties, with the respective teams. You have some priority themes, we have some priority themes. Albania has a priority membership in the European Union and everything related to it. Homework is divided, and the yard goes out, and we're out of budget fight, taxes, education, health, environment and so forth. While Albania's European challenge is shared and we cannot play “has who has” with Albania, another 4 years. I urge you to accept this challenge courageously, that it is a challenge of the times in which we live.

Eight, I need to tell you again, don't hit Albania with the hands of strangers! Whatever. Here we are, hit us all you want. Take your time. You challenge us with all the forms you want. But neither do you understand who, nor do you appreciate who, of those who hear you in foreign languages, when you talk about Albania like it's a leprosy threatening Europe. They use you, of course. They release the black drying of your speeches and make Ububu-show articles for Albania. And in the climate where they are today, they need to point to threats and threats. They take money out of your pockets, for lobbies and drag Albania into the island of all black. And finally, Albania and the Albanian name around the world pay the bill.

The ninth, I'm not sorry, nor well, this is, as they say, a fact of life, that another opposition, more suddenly found in opposition than prepared to sit down there, after the back of the Democratic Party, after eight years of foot-stepping in the power table, appeared here overwhelmed by the loss of the job. As I told the common opposition, four years ago in this room, I'm telling you, after their backs, don't look outside for the cause of your defeat and don't take Albanians for fools, who can pull out of their nose, preaching as if you just came down from the sky. And be careful with that little” slogan, the big corruption”, that sounds like a skyline pencil on the relationship you have with this country.

Finally, I am so glad that after many years this Assembly began working on time and such a long and tiring debate developed, however, with an exemplary performance on regulations. Thank you all and, above all, the new chairman of the Assembly that I am convinced will create all the conditions for us to continue patiently to find the way to reason.
