DP leader Sali Berisha has declared that dictatorships are not overthrown by vote. He added that authoritarian and totalitarian dictatorships can only be overthrown in one way: through popular revolt.

"Those who believe they can overthrow the dictatorship with a vote are deceiving themselves," he said.

Part of Berisha's speech

This is the reality of Albania. In the second dictatorship, I said the law did not exist. For two months now, the prosecution has been requesting the lifting of immunity and the arrest of Belinda Balluku, Lubi Balluku, and nothing is happening.
Edi Rama defends her with all his might, despite the fact that in the history of this country, there is no other person, except Edi Rama, who has stolen from this Albanian, from his own people, as much as she has. And now, the arrest warrants, the suspension orders are thrown in the trash.
And I tell you here, whether he will remove it or not, whether he will dismiss it or not, that is one side, but he cannot remove immunity. Because the moment she sits in the dock, she says I have implemented every order from him. And she has implemented them. She is not lying. No. She is not lying that we must be fair. In Ankara, Belinda did not take Rama with her, no, Rama took Belinda with her. To give her 50 million euros more expensively, to divide 50 million euros.
Thumanë-Kashar, the Llogara tunnel, etc., etc. The money for the Llogara tunnel and here the hospitals are left without electricity, the sick are left without medicine, the roads are left in pieces. It is just one of those other much bigger affairs.
It has happened, as far as I can tell you, that of the 67 billion euros that this thieving government has administered, absolutely 90% at least, 90% has been stolen, wasted. They have stolen, wasted.
Don't forget, for anyone who finds this excessive, I ask where the Tirana burner is? 130 million. Take a look at the tenders won by Rama's bastard under another name.
Mirlinda of AKSHI. 60 million, without any purchase, without any sale, without any expense, only the company's salaries, 98% profit. 98% theft. Take it in every cell, in every aspect. That's why Rama doesn't let go of Belinda. You heard it yourself. That Mirlinda, who is in fact, in fact very often the prestonomous of Linda of Surrel, who goes out and does her advocacy now and for the studio, her thief husband instead of telling her not to steal, the citizens go out and does her advocacy in different studios.
So, Mirlinda, for whom she says I have the utmost respect. Two hostage-takings, my friends. Two hostage-takings. Two businessmen, two businessmen's attorneys were taken hostage because they dared to submit offers, tenders that the baxhanak and no one else should win at all costs.
There is no need for me to dwell on this for long because you yourself are aware of the endless chain of crimes that these people have committed. But now we are at a critical moment. At a critical moment in our existence. Of fulfilling our mission. Nothing will determine the fate of the Democratic Party, the fate of Albania and the Albanian nation more than fulfilling our mission. The overthrow of this regime. Dictatorships are not easy to overthrow. They are very difficult.
But authoritarian dictatorships, even totalitarian ones, are overthrown only in one way: by popular revolt. Those who believe they can overthrow the dictatorship with a vote are deceiving themselves. Simply put, let's forget everything. Everything. But let's come up with the date, I'm taking the last elections, let's come up with the date of May 8, 2025.
The drug dictator comes out and announces that he has forgiven all the fines and interest. Do you know how much they were? They were 10 times more than I imagined when I was prime minister. Not you. I, out of shame that I was deceiving you, said that these were 200 million euros. They were 2 billion euros. From the invoices that came out later. They were 2 billion euros. Those alone, they interested 200 thousand families. There are no choices with dictators. Never. Order, I am not counting 10 other factors, I am only taking this one.
Not only a people with an electorate of 1 million 400 thousand or 500 thousand, but also a people with an electorate of 3 or 4 million voters, 2 billion euros can overthrow the elections. Never a prime minister who believes in human dignity, believes in freedom, believes in the vote, can commit such an act.
I guarantee you that Edi Rama is ready to do as he does every act in order to keep his seat. I can list a series of his other unconstitutional, illegal acts. He mobilized all the drug cartels and gangs against you, against your vote.
But there is a big difference today. What is the difference? We managed to nail him. We managed to present him to the whole world as he is. As he is: a fierce enemy of the free vote. As he is: a narco-dictator.
As he is: a destroyer of his own nation. Seven resolutions in a 14-month period affirm all of this. And support you, support us, in all our endeavors. This is no small achievement for us. It is motivation. You have been the difference.
