Little dignity!

Little dignity!

From Krasniqi Approach

Parliamentary elections are a key element in democracy . They are held periodically to votëbesuar offers political , governmental mandate given to 4 years and to determine which party governs , which remains in its opposition as an alternative . In every odd choice to pair wins and who loses , a result that is not eternal and that citizens express constitutional sovereignty . To test multiple choices are : the winner , the loser , the people , the institutions , the democratic maturity and democracy standards . To the post -election behavior requires dignified treatment outcomes , political culture and civic open mind .

In 23 years of proven cases transition dignified behavior for the election winners and losers have been numerous . In 1991 the Democrats lost , but showed dignity . In 1992 the Socialists lost but showed dignity . In 1996 and 1997, both sides tried absolute victory and defeat , and both showed lack of dignity , ethics and responsibility in reading the results . In 2001 he repeated the same wrongful conduct by both parties that won it more than deserved and what largely lost its debts . In 2005 gave political rotation minor signs of dignified behavior winners and losers . It seemed that society was ripe , the policy has gained maturity and that each party has decided to observe the rules of competition in democracy . The elections of 2007 , 2009 and 2011 brought disappointment to positive expectations and arrogant behavior patterns produced by the election winners and losers . In 2013 rotation policy should spell the end of institutional transition , political , electoral and party political mentalities behavior to popular verdict . In fact , there are a number of indicators that this rotation is not reflecting the expectation and needs of the country , and are treated with the most critical first transition period .

The first critical point is related to the elections and their quality . They were organized by the government , the CEC was arbitrarily taken from her and behaved totally biased . In the end, the election brought rotation , received international positive assessment , but the government punished by popular vote dropped merits and denounced the elections as flawed and manipulated by the opposition . In modern political practices when government opposition votes cop found only in Albania in 2005 and 2013 . Nowhere . Because it is a nonsensical claim , dignified behavior and an alibi incredible in every component of it.

The second is with the new winner / loser in the elections . Despite the profound outcome losing party has not yet congratulate the winner , did not accept the official verdict and vote handles 1 million Albanians as a national historical accident or disaster . In elections may debate the difference is small , but when it is deep , there is only room for analysis , not to dispute and labeling . Only sick minds and totalitarian communist formation can blame the other party label citizens and hostile terms , indicating a low standard of those imposed yesterday as European best bid and Albania . A decent policy should have different behavior : official congratulation , admission result , willingness credible alternative government and institutional guarantee to be opposition in the service of citizens and democracy . A dignified behavior will require the parties to contact the transition of power to the state to remain fully operational in the protection of the law , the winning party to pass detailed information and professional balance , inventory and urgent problems of the state , to receiving end abusive practices by official assets , and justice to address any abuse case speed , transparency and responsibility .

The third relates to notions of identity and political behavior . Cause on which Democrats gathered in 1990 was Europe and the U.S. , democracy and the rule of law . They signed the accession to the EC , NATO and their political merits . But the other side of the coin remains sad and disappointing . Let's take an example : the U.S. report , place the symbol of democracy . Of the eight U.S. ambassadors to Albania from 1991 AM has labeled and bitterly attacked six of them ( Withers , Jeffrey Limprecht , Lino , Lake , Arvizu ) , had a neutral ( RIES ) and assessed only one ( Ryerson ) . Attacks absurd and the language of the road these days came to the last American ambassador , Arvizu , recall models and restore oligarchic countries in Albanian politics criticism that there is always an anti-American cell that function whenever American advice contrary to personal interests of any political leader or political party in Bangladesh . Bringing to the U.S. , European politicians of the left , to the Western diplomatic corps , etc. , is gang behavior , not politicians . It is evidence of lack of dignity and identity politics , the deep contrast between electoral and political causes of the political establishment who have privatized two decades causes , politics and political parties .

Fourth , related to the behavior of the winners . A pair won but not yet in office . Expects consumption of the other party 's constitutional deadline . The latter ranges from one month to be the majority and opposition , criticism and attacks produces , warns dramatic developments for the country and threatens the other . Without the strength to deal with themselves and historical need for catharsis , following the old tradition of making another, as alibis , and food for militants as a means of escape from the analysis and responsibilities . A typical pre - democratic behavior , no dignified , productive and contemporary . The other side continues to consume champagne and behaves as denouncing opposition , without showing how the mechanism will establish justice , without addressing the specific facts of record in the bodies responsible for law and without a clear program of reform still essential . It warns rhetorical changes everywhere and for everything - a justifiable behavior changes in political systems , not the normal democratic rotations , where at least a third of the new fact is the same as one-third of the outgoing government . Admittedly the fact that the negative legacy left by the state Democratic Party in 2013 , and political society can be great expectations , but remains essentially the same model and the legacy left by the SP in 2005 .

The latter is related to post- election public interest . Reading black and white and rhetoric for departures from zero are essentially undemocratic policy reading . Posts citizens on June 23 was arbitrary punishment behavior , the arrogance , the corruption , the privatization policy and the cult of the individual . This message reading deserves deep and multifaceted reflection of political parties . New Opposition to prove that there is a copy of the old model of rejecting conflict , the new majority to demonstrate that it has learned from the mistakes of the other party and willing to change . P.sh , if any development that should support even for the foreigners , was the final conference with international experts and institutions on development priorities . The new opposition should be present with her ​​thoughts public , not the old game of vilification and frontal assault on social networks or media . As the prevailing party shall waive refusal to block outgoing government acts , such as p.sh , urban plans . If you need to change changing leaves , but leaves a priori rejection of bitter taste .

As the above two cases are numerous points where the public expects the parties to change behavior , to show dignity , leadership , good will and minimally little dignity . Elections were held , votes determined the winning side , but major problems plaguing people still there waiting for solutions . The challenge remains the main challenge for the settlement policy . Any other scenario that produces empty rhetoric and nonexistent conflicts that mimics inskenon or older models , just how long the transition , problem solving delays , frustrates citizens and undermines democracy . A message that parties should read every day .
