As the anti-government protests enter their fourth week, more and more historical figures from the Socialist Party are coming out against Edi Rama. Former ministers Arta Dade, Ditmir Bushati, Arben Malaj and Ermelinda Meksi, as well as FRESSH founder Ilir Zela, have sharply criticized the current government, supporting the protesters' demands and accusing Rama of autocracy, corruption and a departure from leftist ideals.
As the civil protests have entered their 25th day and pressure on the government is increasing, another development is taking shape within the socialist camp. Prominent names on the Albanian left, figures who have built the Socialist Party since the early years of transition, are openly speaking out against Edi Rama's approach to the protest and the way the country is being governed.
After Marjana Koçek's departure from the SP and at a time when Elisa Spiropali is expressing positions that are interpreted as rapprochement with the protesters, the list of critical socialists is expanding every day. Former ministers, former MPs and founders of historical SP structures are articulating criticisms that would have seemed unimaginable a few years ago.
One of the strongest reactions came from former Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati, who rejected the narrative used by the government regarding the protesters.
" They are not driven by Iran, nor by algorithms, and even less lost in their goals. They are Albanians revolted by the treatment of their homeland as plunder. Aware of the consequences of the harmful alliance between politics, oligarchy, media and organized crime. They are citizens who believe that Albania deserves more: more justice, more dignity, more hope and more opportunities for all ," Bushati says.
Even more harsh was former minister and former socialist MP Arta Dade, who on the day of the founding of the Socialist Party, openly sided with the protesters.
" Today, true socialists are not found in the anti-rally called from above. They are where the spirit of the left has always been, in the square where the youth is protesting for dignity. That square that Mr. Rama is trying to fill today does not represent the history of the Socialist Party, but its alienation ," Dade declared.
In another part of her reaction, she goes even further: " The tragedy is that the system we fought against was not destroyed. It was reinforced by the one who has today occupied the leadership of the Socialist Party. My rejection today is against him and against the anti-corruption and facade rallies. Albania needs a reborn left on its initial ideals. The hour of this return has struck ."
Another important voice is that of Ilir Zela, founder and first chairman of FRESSH, who considers the protest as a consequence of the deformation of the Socialist Party.
" It is today's autocracy that has distanced itself from the aspirations of Albanians. It is the enriched, fat and over-aged Renaissance people in power, the bearers of corruption and amalgamation with crime, who are the object of this protest. I have seen these days socialists participating in protests, testifying to their concern for the state in which democracy in the country has fallen ," Zela wrote today.
But his criticism culminates in a direct call to the prime minister.
" The masks have fallen and Edi Rama owes the Socialists his resignation, clearing the way. If he doesn't do it, the Socialists cannot jump with him into the abyss he is dragging them into. They will know how to choose another path ," he declares.
Former Minister of Economy, Ermelinda Meksi, has also raised concerns about the way the Socialist Party functions today, supporting Zela.
" A party that does not reflect on itself, that does not open up to criticism and that does not renew its internal mechanisms, risks losing its connection with its membership and with society. The Socialist Party needs more collegiality, more debate, more meritocracy and more space for dissenting opinions ," she says.
Ndre Legisi also came out alongside Zela. "Getting the Socialist Party out of the mud that Edi Rama put it in is the obligation of the socialists of the years of sacrifices," Legisi wrote.
Meanwhile, former minister Arben Malaj warns that the government is trying to crack down on the protest through pressure and attacks on public figures who support it.
"Peaceful and patriotic protests are a horror for Rama. Rama will do everything to divide you, by slandering the inspiring figures of the protest, by threatening you or buying off some of you. He will do everything to make the protesters lose their patience and become aggressive. But the strength of this movement is precisely its peaceful and civic character," Malaj declares.
If until yesterday, criticism of Edi Rama came mainly from the opposition, today the panorama is changing. More and more historical figures of the Socialist Party are distancing themselves from the official party line and are showing understanding, support or even open sympathy for the protesters.
And this may be the most significant political development of these weeks: the revolt is not only producing new opponents for Rama, but is also turning part of the old socialist guard against him. /Pamphlet
“ C është keshtu o Pjeter memecit I erdhi goja “ Të gjithë keta kane një konflikt interesi: Nga njera ane “ qasjet e tyre “ ndaj lidershipit i ka vetperjashtuar se dyti - kur kane qene në kariget e pushtetit me shumë dalloheshin nga kercitja e kariges sesa nga fjalet që mundoheshin të krijonin kuptim.
Nje kerkese per ata qe i thone vetes gazetare: Kerkojini prononcim per protestat ish politikaneve te PS , si: Rexhep Mejdani Garmoz Ruci (e gjeni ne uje te ftote tepelene ose resortet ne Sarande ) Nemik Dokle Musa Ulqini Valentina Leskaj Pandeli Majko e te tjere.

Grupi deshtuar cfare kerkon sot ?! Ishit ne qeveri e parlament, cfare bete personalishte per kete vend. Nqs duhet te ik Edi nuk kuptoj perse duhet te vini ju. Cfare merita keni.
Bishti qenit ishte në kllëf floriri,por edhe atu po bisht qeni mbeti. Ps nuk duhet të ketë,as të përmendet dhe as të mos harrohet kurrë se u kthye në një të keqe pothuaj asgjesuese për këtë popull e komb bashkë me bin haven diameter te saj pd.
Rama e ka përdorur PS-në tënde për të pastruar xhepat e 90% dhe për të mbushur kutitë e 10%. Ai ka marrë 50% të të gjitha kutive në interes të tij. Kjo është bërë para syve tuaj dhe nën çatinë e PS-së dhe ti ke qëndruar i heshtur dhe indiferent për 12 vjet! TANI pelikanët rozë do të të godasin në kokë për të të zgjuar, por loja mbaroi! Ti je pjesë e kësaj sepse nuk e ke mbajtur "timonin" në kohën e duhur.
Cfare beri ky grup per shqiptaret kur ishte ne kolltuqe drejtuese? Jeni zgjuar vone. Naten e mire.
Ky grup nuk ka qënë asnjë ditë me Ramen! Arben Malaj nuk ka qënë deputet i Ramës. Ermelinda Meksin e hoqi që ne mandatin e parë. Ilir Zela nuk ishte më as deputet DHE as post ministror. Arta Dade as deputete dhe as post ministror me Ramen! Nere Legisi asgje... Njerezit që permendni ju kane qënë deputete dhe funksionare të Ramës, me perjashtim të Rexhep Mejdant, por edhe atij qoken ja beri Rama me të birin.
Këta persona nuk synuan shkatrrimin e Shqipërisë si Rama, asnjeri nuk është vëlla a motër e Aleksandër Sorosit as miku i Bibit. 5 është vërtet numër i vogël, por gjithnjë më i madh se -5. Ndërkohë asnjeri prej tyre nuk është debil sa Zeqineja, vulgar sa Balla dhe antishqiptar sa Rama
