If the National Party Comes to Power, These Issues Will Be Resolved
Editorial
By Flamur Buçpapaj
Albanians have lived for centuries with open wounds that are not merely historical but politically and socially dangerous. Chameria, Toplica, Kosovo, the Albanians in Macedonia, and every piece of lost Albanian land are not an inevitable fate but the result of historical weakness and political inaction. For decades, the silence and compromise of the sold-out elites have deepened these wounds, making Albania weaker in the Balkans and more dependent on foreign powers.
The National Party is not just a political party. It is a dividing line between two Albanians: the humbled, silent, and dependent Albania, and the Albania of dignity, justice, and strength. If the National Party comes to power, these issues will no longer be mere empty words—they will be addressed, documented, and require real and unavoidable solutions.
The History of Partition and Its Consequences
The issue of Albanian lands is not a topic of the past. It has direct consequences for today’s political, economic, and social reality. Chameria, Toplica, and Albanian lands in Macedonia are not losses that can be ignored; they are open wounds that demand justice.
In the 19th and 20th centuries, Albanians did not have a consolidated state or strong diplomacy to defend their rights. Their weakness was exploited by neighbors and by the great powers of the time, who prioritized their own interests over Albanian national rights. After independence was declared, many issues remained unresolved, and responsibility lies not only with neighbors but also with Albanian politics, which lacked clear vision and long-term strategy.
The Power of the Sold-Out and Political Servility
Politicians who have governed Albania since 1990 are not just incompetent—they are politically sold out, turning power into a tool for personal career advancement rather than for defending the nation.
They remain silent on Chameria, Toplica, and the Albanians in Macedonia. Silence is not mere fear—it is open betrayal of the nation. While they call this “realism,” Albanians experience poverty, emigration, and moral degradation of the state.
Silence as an Instrument of Injustice
When a government remains silent about the wounds of history, it is not neutral. It becomes a collaborator in injustice. Silence regarding expulsions, ethnic cleansings, expropriated property, and systematic discrimination is both a moral and political betrayal. A nation that does not seek justice loses its identity and cannot build its future.
The National Party: A Dividing Line and Fundamental Change
The National Party does not come to manage the status quo—it comes to break it. It is the dividing line between fear and dignity, between silence and action. When we say that “these issues will be resolved,” we do not speak of empty rhetoric. We speak of concrete solutions, based on facts, documents, and international law.
The National Party will not hide behind diplomatic niceties. It will speak openly and act in accordance with national interest.
State, Justice, Family, and the Albanian Language
The National Party’s program is based on foundations long neglected:
The State: an instrument of national interest and sovereignty, not a tool of oligarchs;
Justice: not a symbolic decoration but an instrument of equality and accountability;
Family: a moral and social cell, the foundation of stability;
Albanian Language: cultural and identity sovereignty, not just a constitutional ornament.
Without these foundations, any institution or propaganda for independence is an empty façade.
The Army: The Foundation of True Sovereignty
An independent state cannot exist without a strong army. Today, Albania has symbolic structures but lacks real defensive capabilities.
The National Party will build a modern, capable, and competitive army, with capacities:
On land, to defend territorial integrity;
At sea, to protect maritime sovereignty;
In the air, to control and secure airspace.
This army is not for aggression but for deterrence and respect. Without a strong army, there is no sovereignty, and without sovereignty, there is no free politics.
Friendship with the West: Partnership, Not Submission
Relations with the United States and the West are strategic, but friendship should not become submission. A state is respected only when it has a strong stance and national vision.
The National Party will be pro-Western but not submissive. Allies do not respect the weak, and they do not invest in those who lack backbone.
Albanian Historical Issues
Chameria, Toplica, the Albanians in Macedonia, and the Albanians of Kosovo are not forgotten issues. They are open wounds demanding justice and real resolution.
The National Party will open archives, build cases, and seek international recognition and reparations. This is not revenge—it is justice and the restoration of national dignity.
Consequences of Inaction and the Need for Change
Silence and compromise have caused severe consequences:
loss of property and economic resources;
widespread poverty and mass emigration;
demographic fragmentation and identity erosion;
loss of public trust in institutions.
The National Party will break this cycle. It will not manage the status quo; it will rebuild the state, its institutions, and national pride.
The Young Generations and the New Era
Young generations will no longer accept power without dignity. They will no longer accept politicians who measure sovereignty with embassy approvals. They will no longer accept silence or a state that fears its own history. The era of sold-out elites is ending. The era of fear is closing. The era of submissive power is over. Our time has come.
Restoring the State to Itself
If the National Party comes to power:
national issues will no longer be silenced;
historical files and properties will be handled institutionally and legally;
the state will speak with its own voice and build real sovereignty;
justice will be based on facts and history;
the army will be strong and competitive;
allies will respect Albania as an equal partner;
national identity and dignity will be restored;
the younger generations will inherit a sovereign and respected state.
The time is ours.
The state is ours.
Justice is non-negotiable.
Sovereignty is not given—it is built.
