ARSYET ♪ SELF!
Dear friends,
At the end of 2009, I'm engaged in Movement V. Then I was only 16. I had just started school in high school and had met some activists who were finishing up last year with whom I started associating. I remember that at the beginnings of our society we discussed problems in high school, and for me, it was a good feeling that that country was becoming a place where they discussed how to deal with problems, not just a space where we sit just to hear professors' speeches, one after another.
Through them, I later became straight acquainted with the Movement. The more I became acquainted, the more my desire to be part of it grew, and after a few months, I became part of it. In my hometown, Istog, at the time the Movement had no center of its own, but as many as ten of us were, we held our meetings wherever we could, and the activities required were carried out. The first activity I was participating in as a new activist was “Petition for the release of Albin Kurti”, where for days we used to go out and collect signatures against an injustice that was being done not only to Albin Kurti and V But to all the Albanian people.
Then, step by step, by engaging in powerful and ideal fiery will, we put together the first points so that the Istog Center could be established. To me, it was an extraordinary experience. After school lessons, I met almost every day different people, and I was getting to know them directly. Before them, although younger than anyone I met, I explained the course that he had brought, and with great enthusiasm I talked to him about the possibility that the situation they were in was given another direction, which was guaranteed only by the V Movement. I'm sorry. This, as it gathered people around it with knowledge, will, and courage.
During my three years of attending high school classes, I had also attended the school of Movement V THE Bible! It was years of giving me a feeling that I was sure he didn't have every high school girl who wasn't engaged side by side. V I'm sorry.
As soon as I arrived in Pristina to start studying, more than a month without starting with my studies, I was invited to be part of the Secretary General's Secretariat and engage in the Secretariat of Finance at the central level. This had made me very happy because I was aware that, along with my studies, I would continue with my V School I was just so enthralled with the idea of revolting against injustice and having been fashioned into the ideals of social democracy.
Even earlier, following the spirit of our Movement's conceptual journey, I strongly believed that getting into politics meant participating in an activity that is conducted in accordance with certain principles, and aimed at building a new reality, where rights denied until we were entitled to as states, nation and society. To that end, I had learned that it is possible only through collective organization, and as a result, the organization is always above all of us and more important than any of us. And any distortion of this was said to mark the beginning of the concept deviation of Movement, which later meant abandoning general interests or replacing them with any personal interests of anyone.
As in any organisation aimed at democracy, our movement has always characterised discussion and debate, which has often highlighted incompatibility and controversy among activists. This is always considered normal, especially since people with different ideological views were listed in the Movement, to those without any ideology. As a result, despite our differences, even the criticism we might have against each other, we learned that we should not personalize problems. We also learned that it is no sin to disagree with people who symbolized the highest representation of the Movement, regardless of their name or surname.
The movement was growing each time, new people were coming, and its concept was only being fulfilled and expanding further. That's why we said we were meritable to each of us, but together, nobody in particular. “Basca is possible”, was the slogan we'd competed with in the first elections we took part in, 2010, while the word “united” was the most mentioned word in V I'm sorry. Being together gave us hope, being together became more knowledgeable, and together we were more courageous.
In October 2016, a problem arose in the movement between two people whom we each considered to be the closest people to each other, Mr. Albin Kurti and Mr. Dardan Moliqaj, who resulted after a discussion of the organisation and its flow. Despite increasing membership that was more than doubling from our domestic elections and the growth our field work was talking about and measuring public opinion, which was later witnessed in last June's national elections, Mr. Kurt at a meeting with Mr. Moliqaj had expressed his frustrations, and he had also directed a series of personal criticisms against the latter. But what remains unrecognised, and is explained in detail, Kurt in this middle, is going so far with his tongue towards his closest associate, to where Mr. Molly.
At first, very few people knew about the confrontations between them. But, it seems that the people with certain interests had expected such a problem since. After a short time, what was spoken at the meeting began to conflict even at lower levels of the organization. Then it was started to be written indirectly on social networks. But, of all of this, it should be noted that the target of the attack was only one party. Molly and all those who were considered close to her.
Personally, all this time this problem has lasted, although I've been aware from the very beginning of its existence, I've kept silent and when I've been wondering about it, outside of the Movement I've denied that very soon it will be invented and things will go on forever. And within the organization I suggested that this problem be solved where it started. Moreover, my family has been notified when it came to the media. So after the “mage of the Aida” and “communication at Headry”, whose public appearance I think has been orchestrated with the idea of degrading Mrs. Aida Dergut. On social networking, as you know, I've never expressed myself on this problem before.
This has seemed to me the best and healthier solution for the organization, but despite this attitude I've maintained, only because I've been engaged in the Secretary General, since the beginning my name has been coveted as one of the “and the people of Moliqaj”, and in different circles neither have I been spared the epithetic “ <x>bourbunist<3>, <xter> <6); <xter> This claim of those who were called “The defenders of Albin”, I have noticed that it was manifested in the behavior of the latter, which especially during the national elections, and especially local ones, to me has been strange and not correct.
There are times when Mr. Kurt, although part of the Secretariat for Media and Communication, had decided that on various issues he would ignore me and keep his communication with only the specifics of our office who had been sworn in: I have a hero, a soldier! That's why I'm so sorry because Mr. Kurt has never discussed this problem with me alone, although many activists had opened up the subject of the internal problem, inviting them to discuss it in his apartment. Mr. Kurt never knew what my opinion was about this problem, and it's very common for him to have been bombarded for a year with various lies, which would easily be averted as if he were a little more careful.
I feel extremely disappointed that over a year there was a lynching campaign against certain individuals, and at no time has there been any effort to stop this campaign. This effort was absent even when this campaign intensified, especially after the public release of Viber” of MPs, where thousands of activists are attacked with insulting, lynching, threatening comments Mrs. Aida Dorgi, who has been one of the most beloved activists for each of us. To me it remains one of the most respected women I know. The same was true after the shows attended by Mr. Mr. Visar Ymer's. Dardan Moliqaj, as well as after Mr. Ymer and deputies of various members of the Headship. He ruled a patriarchal anarchy, and within the night three of the most prominent and earliest activists of the Movement were sold. They called them traitors, people of ShIKA, BIA, UDBU, and accusations that can produce only a terrible imagination.
All this time, the incoming chairman of the Movement, Mr. Kurt, wrote a letter from prison, and then a Facebook status, and in no case did he find words to condemn the lynching language or even to try to stop it. Even when this was required during the chairmanship meeting, he had said there how Facebook is an uncontrollable social network, talking about how complicated it is by citing the operations he permits, leaving the MP without text. Fatmire Mulhaja Kolcaku and Chairman of the Council, Mr. Hyseyan's hyseyini ride. In all this, it would be a real disaster if Mr. Kurt would not weigh enough to convince activists to stop the language when it is known that most of them and even the principal promoters of the language are activists who now revolve around it.
But, Mr. Kurt chose that through these public letters, both from prison and other to freedom, make new links, claiming that there was a group that worked against him and enjoyed his arrest, while others, like Mrs. They're just cheating. His public behavior has confronted this problem dominated by silence, which only breaks his two letters, in my opinion with problematic content, even the greatest naive one is understood to be not aimed at solving the problem.
I am sure that a prayer by Mr. Kurti to activists would suffice to end the virtual “massacre” that made “its virtual body” on Facebook. But instead, Mr. Kurt decided to give statements like that “swear at me, but don't insult Albania”, Leonora Jakupi style, when he sang “don't touch me to cause Drenica”.
I don't know whether it's conscious or unconscious, but all this time, Mr. Kurt made “Amin” to all who were turned upside down by the Movement, it was placed on the organisation, while everyone who did not agree with it declared traitor, which was the initiative to seek further political elimination of critics. Kurt's silence was a green light for all of those who were trying to build democracy within our Movement, wanted to replace it with the unassuming leader. And history shows that such type of leader as a result usually gives rise to authoritarian rule, which we have seen with it in many Communist countries. Or, a powerful leader of the party can produce something that we have also seen in our country: a feudal thought found at <x2ramusism” or the prophetic thinking that we face at “Rugovism”. But, of course, the idea of culting the leader does not lead to the achievement of the goals of which we intended, and that is certain.
For a year many accusations have been filed by Mr. Kurti, most of them contradictory with each other without meaning. They said Albin Kurti is the most powerful man in Kosovo, called “servil” if you did agree with him. You were called the privileged “ ” for taking a salary in the Movement if you criticized Kurt, even though most of those who get paid in the movement - even larger - were listed beside him. They called you “opurtunist”, although they claimed that the present and future are related to Albin Kurti's name. They said that Mr. Vicar Ymer did not represent them and then asked him not to resign. After the resignations they mocked in order to minimize their value while saying that the resignations are orchestrated and are intended to damage Movement V. I'm sorry.
All of this, if you tell people like Mrs. Victory Pacolli or Mr. Jelal Svechla would be disturbing, but not strange. But when she tells Mr. Kurt, no matter how sophisticated, knowing the depth of his extraordinary thought and intellect, hardly believes that he believes in them. And why he tells her, it remains understood.
In the letter from prison, we all read a few lines when Mr. Kurti speaks of the organisation's privileged “”. Being very general on this charge of his, I don't know exactly who he's headed for. But if he was referring to us within the Secretary General, who have received wages for our commitment, Mr. Kurt knows we're not self-appointed in these positions, nor have we ever been asked to give up. I've been part of the SPE for 5 years, 2 of them are from when Mr. Kurt was chairman, so the first two years, and at no time, Mr. Kurt's had no disappointment with my work and commitment. Moreover, it cannot be considered any privilege where during most days we have worked more than 8 hours a day, especially those who have been engaged in the Media Secretariat. Personally, it will likely cost the Movement up to 16 hours during election campaigns.
I've been engaged in the SP in a 2012 state of stature at the Secretariat of Finance, which I've done by September 2016, so that I can then engage in the Secretariat for Media Communication to date. My salary has long been 250 euros a month, and then 390. This has been my only income for the past five years I've been feeding on, I'm wearing shoes, I paid my rent and paid for my schooling. At the same time, Mr. Kurt had originally a monthly salary of 750 euros, and then 1,200. So triple my size. And recently, the slander has gone so far that I am told I have a monthly salary of 1000 euros. Tragic, however.
If we measure in terms of personal and family wealth with Mr. Kurt, this last one's wealth is much bigger than mine. As long as you're in Mr. President's bank account. Kurti finds 85,000 euros in savings, personally, and neither my family has a single cent saved in banks inside or abroad. And, here, let me not get misunderstood because I don't mind why Mrs. Augestad Knudsen has saved money and I have no doubt about it, but I'm only mentioning it because of Mr. Kurt doesn't seem to know enough about the economic and social status of activists as they rush to talk about “microborghosis” and to set up unstable activist epithets, although many of us who are labeled, are poorer like him. As well as, with its notion that activists can one day resubstantiate the class”, as if it constantly sounds like the fetishing of poverty, and that keeps me from doing it.
Such things that do not stay are full of his two public letters recently, and it would take a lot if we discussed them. But I hope that we will talk about them in more detail.
Today, I am very upset that all of this is happening to the Movement at a time when she comes out to get the most popular support and when she was seen as the only political formation that has the capacity to change that doesn't want power for herself. So I bow down to each of the voters from over 200 thousand, thanking them for the support they gave us and expressing regret over the disappointment they may have experienced from this incident these days. She expressed her thanks to all those who in various ways helped move and her activity, particularly the mrgata, which did not stop for a moment the contribution to the country from which they left for a better life.
Here, the deepest thanks and regret for the families Balaj and Xhedini, whose sons fell for the ideals of Movement, the state of Kosovo and the Albanian nation. In particular, I deeply express thanks to the Dehari family that the Movement was given by two exemplary activists, Arbnor and my heart friend Astrit. I'm sorry to think that none of these martyrs would want to see the movement in what it is today. The situation has been so severe that the name Astrost has been used unjustly and with disgrace to make a difference, which has hurt me greatly.
The movement as it has become today is clearly not the Movement in which I have joined. The movement today is not the movement that guarantees the arrival of our common goals. Everything is degrading with light speed that disaster can only be seen if you look at recent media presentations: people are assigned to the shows, not the ability and the capacity to appear with the most dignified performance. Painful. Horrible.
As far as I've seen in a year now, disappointment with this situation that reigns in the organization has been expressed to people I've regarded as progressive. I regret that their dissatisfactions have come to be in deaf ears, even in response to the reproach and slander that were orchestrated. Perhaps one day their remarks will be considered and the key to this problem will be found, but I am very disappointed and broken to still believe in it.
I've long convinced myself that I don't have a seat where the serviles, the naive, and the dogmatics sit. So with this letter I resign from the Media Office and Communication in Movement V EARLY, I also end my commitment to this political organization.
I know that after that I'm faced with many insults, insults, and links, but I remain deeply convinced that the future will give my actions right today. Today, it is the most difficult and difficult moment in my life, and no reproach or accusation adds to my emotional state. Anyway, I'm proud of the eight years of my engagement in the movement that rounds 1/3 of my life, which will always be remembered as extraordinary years of my life.
In the end, I thank all my co-activists for thinking about political commitment. And I thank all the journalists for their excellent cooperation over the next 16 months that I was part of the Secretariat for Media and Communication.
