The Global Alliance of the Center Right, (IDU), which is led by the Republican Party in the USA, has approved the Resolution for Albania presented by the Democratic Party of Albania, which condemns the government of Edi Rama these 12 years.
"Resolution presented by the Democratic Party of Albania at the Executive Meeting of the IDU, on December 6 in Washington, DC
WHEREAS, IDU strongly supports the rule of law and institutional integrity as cornerstones of democracy. In Albania, 12 years of socialist government have concentrated power in one person, reducing elections to a facade. Opposition leaders, MPs and local officials face political persecution, imprisonment and threats, mirroring authoritarian regimes such as Belarus and Tunisia.
WHEREAS, despite OSCE/ODIHR recommendations, the socialist majority under Prime Minister Rama has failed to address electoral abuses and has unilaterally changed the constitution to weaken the opposition. As the 2025 elections approach, political persecution is escalating, accompanied by politically motivated trials, arrests and imprisonment of opposition leaders such as Prof. Dr. Sali Berisha, Ilir Meta, Fatmir Mediu, Ervin Salianji and Fredi Beleri.
The decision of the Special Court on November 27, 2024 to cancel the arrest of Mr. Berisha came after the European Court of Human Rights questioned the parties about the violations in his case, revealing a judicial system compromised by socialist influence that has become a tool for suppressing the opposition and manipulating elections. The Venice Commission's warnings about the seizure of justice reform by the ruling party have materialized under Rama's leadership, threatening Albania's democratic stability.
IDU requirements:
1. To stop political persecution against opposition leaders, ensuring a fair and open environment for all political actors to campaign without any political persecution;
2. Preserving the rule of law and institutional integrity as cornerstones of a democratic society;
3. An impartial judicial system, free from political interference;
4. Intensification of the fight against organized crime, drug trafficking and money laundering, ensuring that actions remain impartial and do not target the opposition;
5. Free and fair elections, guaranteeing the independence of the public administration from the ruling party;
6. Establishing a caretaker government, modeled after North Macedonia, to ensure free and fair elections.
IDU reaffirms support for Albania's EU membership, free elections and the critical role of the opposition in restoring democracy. The IDU will closely monitor the developments and will support the democratic and European aspirations of Albania", this resolution states. (A2 Televizion)
