Spiropali's "New Deal" as a rescue plan for the SP, not for Rama
2026-06-21 19:54:21 / IDE
Elisa Spiropali's statement that the Socialist Party is ready to make a "New Agreement with Albanians" is not an ordinary political statement.
It represents a reflection and a clear stance in relation to the course that the Socialist Party should take in relation to the protest and the protesters.
This is because for weeks, the official reaction of the SP to the protests has been denial, irony or minimization. Meanwhile, all of a sudden, from the heart of the Socialist Party comes the idea of a "New Agreement".
This means that someone within the SP has begun to understand that things cannot continue as before.
The history of long political regimes shows that their downfall begins when the conviction arises within the government itself that the status quo can no longer be maintained.
In this sense, Spiropali's statement can be read as the first public sign of an internal war in the Socialist Party.
Part of it (which includes Rama, Rilindja, the government cabinet and the parliamentary group) may still be convinced that the protests will pass, but another part (which includes the true socialists, those who are totally disappointed and abandoned by Rama and Rilindja) seems to be looking for a political way out before the crisis escalates.
And this is precisely where the tension and real danger for Edi Rama begins. Not in the square, but in the corridors of power.
Because the protest may not have votes in Parliament, but it has the ability to create political panic and political panic produces fear among MPs and officials for their future.
The moment a part of the socialists begins to think that Edi Rama has turned from a guarantee of power into a danger to their power, then the process of distancing begins.
First come cautious statements, then requests for reflection, then requests for a change of course, finally requests for a change of leadership. This is the classic path by which long-term powers are consumed.
If the protests continue to grow, if they are accompanied by strikes, boycotts, civil disobedience and continued political tension, then Rama's problem will no longer be protests.
His problem seems to be the Socialist Party.
Because every government falls in Parliament only after it begins to split from within, and the declaration of a "New Deal" sounds more like the first voice of those who are looking for a rescue plan for the Socialist Party, than a rescue plan for Edi Rama.

Sali is gone, Rama is gone.
