Yesterday, Socialist Party activists in Durrës • Instead of authoritarianism, through statutory rules we have established democratic leadership of the Socialist Party and equally democratic oversight by members of the exercise of the mandates of those elected to lead our party and government • We can offer our sister parties in the West our determination to transform their parties’ model into the form and essence of the Socialist Party • A modern party with written norms and rules, whose “Bible” is its party statute, finds it easier to win elections when in opposition. When in power, it finds it easier to hold on to it and make its government’s work easier • We invite the legitimate representatives of civil society to work together on shared development programs, joint candidate lists in elections, shared municipal decision-making, and joint governance.
