Курти на свом фејсбук профилу: Подржавају ме Жижек и још 76 академаца

These elections come after the recent decision of the Constitutional Court regarding the legitimacy of the Government of Avdullah Hoti, voted on June 3, 2020, which decided that Kosovo should be governed by an illegal government for seven months.

 

The unconstitutional government formed by the right LDK was created after the overthrow of the leftist and reformist government led by Albin Kurti i Self-determination Movement!. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemics, when the Kosovar society really needed the exemplary management that the Government Kurti was able to provide, LDK coordinated with other parties of the old elites and created intense fake media coverage. When this effort was endorsed and forcefully pushed over the Kosovar people even by former President Trump special emissary Richard Grenell, this initiative overthrew Kurti Government and created an unconstitutional replacement government so as to move forward an inadequately negotiated agreement between Kosovo and Serbia. This deal was supposed to serve as a foreign policy trophy for Trump’s electoral campaign. This project has resulted in record number of infections and deaths of citizens from the COVID-19; in a serious societal and economic situation and undermined by the rampant corruption of government officials and their clicks. This has been an unprecedented case of a parliamentary coup.

 

 

We say that these issues are not specific features of Kosovo, but are of global importance. Neoliberal paradigm unites all kinds of fronts, parties and people in the fight against it. But, in order to have a chance to live against it, it is imperative to support each other mutually and show solidarity as much strength as we can when necessary.

 

Therefore, we as signatories express our support for the SELF-CERTAIN Movement! and for Kurti in the upcoming elections. We sincerely believe that his government will offer a new start in this difficult, but necessary battle, despite the background of current events in the Republic of Kosovo. In situations like the present, such faith and conviction is more important than the current reality and its obvious demands. This is something that the SELF MOVEMENT! and Kurt gave the people of their country in his first term, the hope that there are people who may have a conviction and political belief behind whom they remain uncompromising. This will serve as a prerequisite for any transformation of reality in Kosovo.
