Noise again... The propaganda of the ruling party, as expected, on the initiative of its own leader and at the same time President of the Republic, Mr. Sali Berisha, has mobilized all its forces to present his visit to the USA as an extraordinary victory for the PD. Berisha maintained this position at yesterday's press conference as well. It is understood that nobody believes this either in Albania or abroad. Because it is the victory of democracy itself, and not personal commitments or the coming to power of a political force, even if it is the PD, that opened the way for close cooperation between small Albania and the largest democratic country in the world. President Berisha and the PD act in this way because they want to preserve the monopoly over democracy, while in all their practical activity they have a mindset that runs counter to this aspiration. They think the opposition should keep quiet, because the PD and Berisha know all the business well. Even the high-pitched rejection of any other viewpoint, whether it be an opinion of any kind from an opposition political force or from any politician outside the PD, is an expression of monist practices, of the spirit of diktat and of attempts to stifle other alternatives. Naturally, these positions do not do credit to their authors. This is the reason that, before Berisha had even returned from the USA, the propaganda of the ruling party has tried at all costs to portray the Socialist Party not only as an anti-American force, but as one that naturally stood against this visit. It forgets that the Socialist Party immediately welcomed this visit from the moment it was announced, and did so for the sake of Albania's higher interests and the strengthening of Albanian-American cooperation, and by no means to curry favor with Berisha or to gain any political advantage from this stance. We see the growing Albanian-American cooperation in all fields as a vital necessity for the development of democracy and Albania's progress. In this perspective, we welcome all positive steps that are taken and serve our national interests, just as we understand that the remarks or different opinions we may express on any issue in the service of this great objective also have value. The authors of anti-socialist propaganda, who seek to make us enemies of everything and everyone at any cost, forget that pluralist democracy requires constructive opposition. And this role of opposition cannot be played only by a strong, clear, convincing opposition, and certainly not by a servile, mediocre, personalityless one.
