The Democratic Party returned with its new leaders at the Students’
Town, the campus of the Albanian State University, where 24 years was
created the first opposition party after almost five decades of
dictatorship.

“We will be here in every December to honor the Students’ Movement of 1990, in this annual pilgrimage of freedom, to commemorate the eternal mission for ‘Albania same as all Europe’. We come here to our freedom roots, where Azem Hajdari, the leader of the Students’ Movement, declared the victory of political pluralism in Albania”, Basha declared.

For Lulzim Basha, who was a teenager back then, and today a 40-year-old who leads the opposition, the Students’ Town is not simply a place to be honored, but also a place to learn and reflect.

“I speak on behalf of my generation, of your generation, and of the main actors of December 1990, when I say that we were raised with the heritage of December 1990. We refuse to return to the old, to the past, to the evil”, Basha declared.

With this, Basha refers to the way how Edi Rama and Ilir Meta are leading the country today. He considers them as an eventual danger to democracy and the rights that were earned in 1990.

“Same as 24 ago, when the student youth appealed the successor of Enver Hoxha to give up from the dictatorship, we are telling Edi Rama and Ilir Meta today to give up from concentrating the power in two hands, to give up from taking our rights, and to give up from criminalizing politics”, Basha declared.

In this appeal Lulzim Basha has some of the main protagonists of the December Movement, who chose different tones and languages to say the same thing.

“Let’s tell Edi Rama, let’s swear in this town, that after 24 years we will give you the fate that we gave to your fathers. This is the biggest honor for the students’ of 1990. I trust that the youth will soon say its word”, Berisha declared.

“Be active. Democracy, Albania and we need you. There would be no bigger service for the December Movement, than having the youth of toady still active”, declared the Democratic Party MP, Eduart Selami.
