This Wednesday (18 March 2028), the European People's Party celebrates the 50th anniversary of its creation. On this occasion, hundreds of representatives of the parties of the Right in Europe, members of the EPP, have gathered in Brussels to honor this important anniversary. Personalities of the European right, most of whom are in power in their countries, meet not only to celebrate but above all to define the strategies of the European right in this turbulent global situation, not only political.
A former communist "dinosaur" among anti-communists!
Among the many participants in this important event, there is also a delegation from the Democratic Party of Albania, an associate member of this large political grouping led by its chairman, Sali Berisha.
On March 18, 1977, the European People's Party (EPP) was founded as a union of political forces of the European center-right at the height of the Cold War, with communism spreading to almost half of our continent and installed with a brutal regime in Albania. It was during this period that Sali Berisha worked as a cardiologist at the Tirana hospital. There he was also a member of the Albanian People's Party (APSH), where he had been accepted as a communist in 1968.
So when the largest right-wing political organization in Europe, the European People's Party, was founded, Sali Berisha had been a member of the (Communist) Party of Labor of Albania for 8 years. Two years later, he would become the Secretary of this party for the Tirana hospital and automatically, one of the accepted doctors of the communist elite and the family of dictator Enver Hoxha.
Berisha, since 1991 when he handed over his Labor Party membership card, where he had been a member for 23 years, after taking over the leadership of the Democratic Party in 1991, has been at PPE activities dozens of times. But today he appears there more than ever, as an unprecedented "dinosaur". The European right-wingers he met during the 90s, today on this 50th anniversary of the PPE, have either given up politics and have all retired or passed away. And Berisha this time appears there, not only as a prominent former communist among the descendants of the European anti-communist right-wingers, but also with charges of corruption, obstruction of Justice and the destruction of the Albanian right, as an alternative to winning power.
Që pas shpalljes “Non Grata” nga SHBA dhe BE, Sali Berisha, vazhdon që të jetë një politikan i izoluar nga politika euro-atlantike. Pas rimarrjes me mënyra ekstra-ligjore të drejtimit të PD, (Rithemelimi dhe pasoja e tij me marrjen e Vulës së partisë, po hetohen nga SPAK), PD nën drejtimin e Berishës fitoi statusin e ftesave në takime të PPE. Duke shfrytëzuar postin e kryetarit, Sali Berisha, ka arritur që të marrë nga pak oksigjen duke u shfaqur në evente të së djathtës europiane dhe botërore, duke shfrytëzuar blindimin e tij si kryetar i Partisë Demokratike.
Por pavarësisht këtyre “flladitjeve”, Berisha, nuk ka mundur dot më që të sigurojë asnjë pritje apo takim bilateral me udhëheqësit e të djathtës evropiane, të cilët më së shumti drejtojnë edhe qeveritë në vendet e tyre respektive. Ky distancim-izolim i Berishës nga Perëndimi, nuk ka të bëjë edhe aq me të shkuarën e tij komuniste deri përpara vitit 1991, (Të cilën ja kapërdinë për një kohë të gjatë), por më së shumti me të shkuarën e tij kur ka drejtuar Shqipërinë si “demokrat” dhe të tashmen si luftëtar i hapur kundër drejtësisë së re të ideuar, bekuar dhe mbrojtur prej tyre.
Fatura që duhet të paguajë Partia Demokratike ndaj partnerëve të vetë perëndimorë është thjesht fatura që duhet të paguajë Sali Berisha personalisht dhe familjarisht në SPAK dhe GJKKO, të cilat investohen, mbrohen dhe garantohen nga Perëndimi dhe PPE.
Çfarë ishte PPSH ku Berisha militoi 23 vite dhe çfarë është PPE, ku shkon si kryetar i PD?
Partia e Punës e Shqipërisë, (PPSH), ku Sali Berisha militoi plot 23 vite si komunist i devotshëm, duke bërë edhe karrierë si Sekretar Partie, ishte organizata e vetme politike sunduese në Shqipëri gjatë periudhës së sistemit socialist (1944–1991). Ajo kontrollonte çdo aspekt të jetës politike, ekonomike dhe sociale të vendit, duke u mbështetur në ideologjinë marksiste-leniniste.
De fakto u themelua më 8 nëntor 1941 me emrin Partia Komuniste e Shqipërisë, (PKSH), nën drejtimin e Enver Hoxhës dhe me ndihmën e emisarëve jugosllavë. Në vitin 1948, pas prishjes së marrëdhënieve me Jugosllavinë, emri u ndryshua në Partia e Punës e Shqipërisë. Në vitin 1991 ajo ndryshoi sërish emrin në, Partia Socialiste e Shqipërisë, e cila aktualisht qeverisë vendin e pa shqetësuar nga sfiduesja e saj PD, e cila drejtohet ende nga një ish-anëtar i PPSH.
Për katër dekada, figura e Enver Hoxhës u hyjnizua, duke u konsideruar si arkitekti i çdo arritjeje kombëtare. Aktualisht edhe në Partinë Demokratike, ka vetëm një “Lider Suprem” i cili “hyjnizohet” njësoj siç bënin komunistët me Enver Hoxhën.
PPSH-ja ishte një parti e cila futi vendin në izolim total ndërkombëtarë. Edhe izolimi aktual i PD nga ndërkombëtarët është një terren të cilin Sali Berisha, si ish-anëtar aktiv i PPSH, e njeh mirë.
The PPS exercised its control through several key instruments, most effectively the Sigurimi i Shtattii: the secret police that eliminated political opponents and kept society under surveillance. Currently, the same thing happens in its successor, the PS, where Edi Rama eliminates any voice against it, and the same in Berisha's PD, where any voice that criticizes him is declared an accomplice of the "enemy" Rama, with whom Berisha cooperates politically and economically, whenever necessary for the survival of both.
On the other hand, the European People's Party (EPP) is the largest transnational political family in Europe, representing the center-right. Founded in 1976 by Christian Democrat parties, it is today the main force in the European Union. Its roots are in Christian humane and ethical values, promoting human dignity and freedom.
Liberal conservatism is at the core of the EPP: It defends traditional values and stability, but supports the free market and economic reforms. Pro-Europeanism: It is the most active force for European integration and the strengthening of EU institutions. The EPP currently holds key leadership positions in the EU Institutions.
In the European Parliament, it has the largest parliamentary group (the EPP Group), which gives it decision-making power over EU laws. Many of the most recent presidents of the European Commission, (Ursula von der Leyen), come from this party. The European Council, meanwhile, includes many heads of state and government from member states who belong to EPP member parties.
The EPP is made up of over 80 parties from more than 40 countries. Some of the most well-known parties are the CDU (Germany), the Partido Popular (Spain) and Les Républicains (France).
From Albania, the Democratic Party (DP) is an associate member of the EPP and shares, in principle, the same political platform with this European family. /Alfapress.al
