The LDK needs to be renamed!

The Democratic League of Kosovo, the party that laid the foundations of Kosovo's citizenship in 1989, today feels ruined on its foundations. It has achieved the lowest historic outcome, which is on the border of being considered the party's disappearance.

The resignation of Isa Mustaf is a formalism that is not worth commenting on, since there is no other solution. Neither debates nor lines of personal attacks nor even calls for links will be surprising in the days ahead. But they have nothing to do with the LDK's future.

The LDK has to be renamed.

First, there should be no serious mistake that the Democratic Party made in Tirana in 2013, when after the devastating defeat, it rushed to appoint Lulzim Basha chairman for two weeks, that Sali Berisha needed an eunuch in the DP office. For this, Sokol Olldashi was forcibly anointed by the race, interfering in the process and making fact carried out the selection of Lulzim Basha.

He never raised his head from that day on. In the upcoming parliamentary elections, the Democratic Party lost another 240 thousand votes, winning neither a single election nor ending up in street parties in 2019, boycotting elections and parliament, only because of fears of the race. And now we have an opposition chief who rejoices when Albin wins, that he thinks every opposition belongs to win.

This would be a disaster for LDK. The LDK should not rush to choose someone who supports either Isa Mustafa or his opponents. Every man who goes out of the war of clans and elbows can neither unite the LDK, nor help him to rebuild, nor raise faith. I'm just gonna dig it deeper.

So the run to make the urgent replacement must be abandoned, without an LDK unification and re-founding platform. The LDK must open the race, debate the ideas of the union and then produce the new leader.

Second, the LDK must give up speculating with iggovisation as a magical political theory, which solves their problems when in trouble. Rugovism in which many LDK mediocre leaders are called, is an euphemism, which they use for lack of vocabulary, because they have no idea how to look important.

Rugovism has been Ibrahim Rugova's moral authority. Nothing more, nothing less. Within that moral authority, it was the power that kept the LDK united, despite the lack of democracy or rules that and then had a lot of problems.

Rugovisation was their cover, it was their shield, but it was not their solution. Rugovism fled with Ibrahim Rugova, and problems came to light until the LDK reached 13 percent. So Rugova without Rugova no more, and he can't help from the afterlife. That's why you should stop speculating on this term.

The LDK needs a neo-gogovism to replace its moral authority with rules and confidence that re-affirm its electoral base on behalf of the LDK's political history. Everything else is demagogue, who deceives themselves.

Third, which is even more important, the LDK should look at the real option of its refounding Assembly. Many European right-wing parties have done it. It was Chirac's right hand, with Allen Zype in 2002, and Berlusconi, and many parties of the former communist East.

Refounding is a great act of reconciliation with past mistakes, regathering and inviting all who fled, gave in, or offended these thirty political years. They are reinstated in their political home to establish new rules and start a new story.

This political act needs courage, for a new nucleus of people, without complexity for the past, who lay their hands on every founder of the LDK, every host of its values over the years, and any disappointment. Only by creating a climate of humility, feeling and autocrytic to each other can they convey the same thing to society. A haughty party, which does not admit its own mistakes, which routine them and makes no difference the losses to the political base, cannot convince society to change its attitude toward it. He'll be rejected again.

The LDK must take this refounding process seriously, and after that, from this process to get the new leader out.

Until then it could be run by a nucleus of new consensual people, tasked with reorganisation, which should prepare this political climate, from which the LDK could rise.

Attempting for quick makeup, for distinguished names or preferences of different groups will produce no change. The LDK needs to be re-enabled by convincing society that changed itself, otherwise there is no future.

Any illusion that a new name can resurface it on the rubble it collapsed into will remain an illusion if it doesn't start to solve the problem where it started. A new leader cannot be born from the body of a dead party.
